Includes case studies on the relationship between nationalism and migrantophobia; religion; the media; national identity in economic policy; the strategy of the Putin regime and public opinion.
Trade Review'A long-overdue analysis of contemporary Russian nationalism that not only discusses everyday xenophobia but also links the issue of nationalism with great-power ambitions and the Ukraine crisis (Chapters 2, 3 and 7)… The editors succeeded in bringing together a range of expert authors to contribute on different facets of nationalism, ranging from ethnic minority perception (Chapter 5, Chapter 11) and nationalist tendencies in foreign policy (Chapter 7) to religion (Chapter 4) and economic considerations in nationalism (Chapter 12)… The book’s contribution to the field is unquestionable.' – Elizaveta Gaufman, University of Tübingen, Nations and Nationalism
