Subject: Publ.: Russian Nationalism and the National Reassertion of Russia
(2009)
Russian Nationalism and the National Reassertion of Russia (Routledge
Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series)
Edited by Marlène Laruelle
About the Book:
Military action in South Ossetia, growing tensions with the United States
and NATO, and Russia's relationship with the European Union demonstrate how
the issue of Russian nationalism is increasingly at the heart of the
international political agenda.This book considers a wide range of aspects
of Russian nationalism, focussing on the Putin period. It discusses the
development of Russian nationalism, including in the Soviet era, and
examines how Russian nationalism grows out of – or is related to – ideology,
culture, racism, religion and intellectual thinking, and demonstrates how
Russian nationalism affects many aspects of Russian society, politics and
foreign policy. This book examines the different socio-political phenomena
which are variously defined as ‘nationalism’, ‘patriotism’ and ‘xenophobia’.
As Russia reasserts itself in the world, with Russian nationalism as one of
the key driving forces in this process, an understanding of Russian
nationalism is essential for understanding the dynamics of contemporary
international relations.
