-----Original Message----- From: On all aspects of Russia and the FSU [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Andreas Umland Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2009 5:32 AM To: [log in to unmask] 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.
