RUSSIAN NATIONALISM FOREIGN POLICY AND IDENTITY...

This work discusses the new conjunctions that have emerged between foreign policy events and
politicized expressions of Russian nationalism since 2005. The war with Georgia  as well as
conflicts with Ukraine and other East European countries over the memory of the Soviet Union 
and the Russian interpretation of the 2005 French riots have all contributed to reinforcing
narratives of Russia as a fortress against aggressive forces in the West and CIS. This
narrative has found support both in state structures and among the larger public. It has been
especially salient for some nationalist youth movements  including both pro-Kremlin
organizations  such as Nashi  and the skinheads. These various actors each had their own
specific agendas  employ different modes of public action  and receive unequal recognition from
other segments of society. Yet many of them share their reading of certain foreign policy
events with that of various state structures. These and related phenomena are thoroughly
analyzed and contextualized in this book.
