Migration, Displacement and Identity in Post-Soviet Russia (Hardcover)

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, around 25 million ethnic Russians have found themselves constituting a politically and culturally - as well as physically - diplaced "Russian minority", scattered throughout the newly independent states.;This text, which provides empirical data drawn from interviews with almost 200 forces migrants, explores the impact that these displaced "Russian minorities" have had on post-Soviet Russia. The scale of reintegration has caused many problems both for those returning to their ethnic homeland and the "receiving " populations. This study unravels the situation, focusing on the relationship between displacement, migration and identity and developing a critical appraisal of current Russian migration policy and the peculiar politics of migration in post-Soviet space. The study aims to contribute to wider debates about migration, displacement and identity, and illuminate issues which are being increasingly faced by the global community.
