It examines nationalism as a multilayered and multifaceted repertoire displayed by a myriad of actors. It considers nationalism as various concepts and ideas emphasizing Russia's distinctive national character, based on the country's geography, history, Orthodoxy, and Soviet technological advances. It analyzes the ideologies of Russia's ultra-nationalist and far-right groups, explores the use of nationalism in the conflict with Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea, and discusses how Putin's political opponents, including Alexei Navalny, make use of nationalism. Overall the book provides a rich analysis of a key force which is profoundly affecting political and societal developments both inside Russia and beyond.BASEES/Routledge series on Russian and East European Studies.NationalismFormer Soviet republicsHISTORY / Europe / EasternbisacshHISTORY / Europe / Former Soviet RepublicsbisacshHISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet UnionbisacshSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / GeneralbisacshRussia (Federation)Politics and government1991-NationalismHISTORY / Europe / Eastern.HISTORY / Europe / Former Soviet Republics.HISTORY / Europe / Russia & the Former Soviet Union.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / General320.947SOC008000SOC053000bisacshLaruelle Marlène782914OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910404150303321Russian nationalism2122362UNINA
