Explores the momentous changes that have taken place in the Russian
nationalism since Putin's return to the presidencyRussia's
annexation of Crimea in 2014 marked a watershed in post-Cold War
European history and brought East West relations to a low. At the
same time, by selling this fateful action in starkly nationalist
language, the Putin regime achieved record-high popularity. This
book shows how, after the large-scale 2011 13 anti-Putin
demonstrations in major Russian cities and the parallel rise in
xenophobia related to the Kremlin's perceived inability to deal
with the influx of Central Asian labour migrants, the annexation of
Crimea generated strong 'rallying around the nation' and 'rallying
around the leader' effects. The contributors to this collection go
beyond the news headlines to focus on overlooked aspects of Russian
society such as intellectual racism and growing xenophobia. These
developments are contextualised with an overview of Russian
nationalism: state-led, grassroots and the tensions between the
two.ContributorsHelge Blakkisrud, Senior Researcher and Head of the
