Beyond the Monolith
In the wake of the USSR's breakup, the eighty-nine constituent subjects of the Russian Federation emerged as political players, grasping power for local policies from a weakened central authority and electing the legislators who have altered the complexion of the central government. Beyond the Monolith examines the impact of Russia's emerging regionalism on the political, economic, and social transformation of the largest of the successor states of the Soviet Union. The authors explore significant variations between and similarities among different provinces; the development of federalism in Russia; the effectiveness of local government; the power relationships between the center and the regions; the differential impact of privatization outside Moscow and St. Petersburg; and the role of environmental, public health, and labor market factors in regional economies. Contributors are Cynthia Buckley, Carol Clark, Robert V. Daniels, Mark. G. Field, Alexander A. Galkin, Nail Midkhatovich Moukhariamov, Demosthenes James Peterson, Greg Poelzer, Don K. Rowney, Darrell Slider, and John F. Young.
Encounters With Immortality
Russia’s endgame is yet to come. But the forces of history are relentlessly at work, exposing both the darkness of repression and the light of friendship, passion, and tolerance. Having taken a voyeuristic interest in almost two centuries of struggle for a free Russia, the immortal Alex suddenly turns from bystander to protagonist when he meets Anna and her friends. As recent graduates of the FSB Academy, the young people get thrown into the events of Euromaidan, where they cross paths with Alex. Following Kremlin orders, they get more deeply embroiled in Russia’s hybrid strategies of war, traversing Armenia, Georgia, and Eastern Ukraine. But it is back in Russia, deep in the northern forest of the Arkhangelsk region, where the forces emerge that will ultimately bring down the Putin regime.
Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond
The idea of etnos came into being over a hundred years ago as a way of understanding the collective identities of people with a common language and shared traditions. In the twentieth century, the concept came to be associated with Soviet state-building, and it fell sharply out of favour. Yet outside the academy, etnos-style arguments not only persist, but are a vibrant part of regional anthropological traditions. Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond makes a powerful argument for reconsidering the importance of etnos in our understanding of ethnicity and national identity across Eurasia. The collection brings to life a rich archive of previously unpublished letters, fieldnotes...
Borderland Russians
Geir Hønneland discusses some of the big questions in social science: What is identity? What is the role of identity and narrative in the study of international relations? The location is the Kola Peninsula, the most heavily militarized area of the world during the Cold War, now set to become Europe's next big oil playground.
