ReviewsThere are several excellent books on Russian national identity, but this collection surpasses them all. The New Russian Nationalism should now be the starting point for anyone studying contemporary Russian nationalism., "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, 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)...

SynopsisRussian nationalism, previously dominated by 'imperial' tendencies - pride in a large, strong and multi-ethnic state able to project its influence abroad - is increasingly focused on ethnic issues. In 2014, Russia's annexation of Crimea and the subsequent violent conflict in Eastern Ukraine utterly transformed the nationalist discourse in Russia. This book provides an up-to-date survey of Russian nationalism as a political, social and intellectual phenomenon by leading Western and Russian experts in the field of nationalism studies. It includes case studies on migrantophobia; the relationship between nationalism and religion; nationalism in the media; nationalism and national identity in economic policy; nationalism in the strategy of the Putin regime as well as a survey-based study of nationalism in public opinion., This book surveys Russian nationalism as a political, social and intellectual phenomenon by leading Western and Russian experts. 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.
