In the wake of Russia’s annexation of Crimea, this volume
examines the relationship Russia has with its so-called
‘compatriots abroad’. Based on research from Belarus, Estonia,
Kazakhstan, Latvia and Ukraine, the authors examine complex
relationships between these individuals, their home states, and the
Russian Federation. Russia stands out globally as a leading sponsor
of kin-state nationalism, vociferously claiming to defend the
interests of its so-called diaspora, especially the tens of
millions of ethnic Russians and Russian speakers who reside in the
countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. However, this
volume shifts focus away from the assertive diaspora politics of
the Russian state, towards the actual groups of Russian speakers in
the post-Soviet space themselves. In a series of empirically
grounded studies, the authors examine complex relationships between
‘Russians’, their home-states and the Russian Federation. Using
evidence from Belarus, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, and Ukraine,
the findings demonstrate multifaceted levels of belonging and
estrangement with spaces associated with Russia and the new,
independent states in which Russian speakers live. By focusing on
language, media, politics, identity and quotidian interactions,
this collection provides a wealth of material to help understand
contemporary kin-state policies and their impact on group
identities and behaviour. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies.
