Description

Product Description Vladimir Putin has explicitly based his nation-building initiatives on the assumption that there exists a vast pool of common values in Russia that cut across ethnic and regional divides. Nation-Building and Common Values in Russia explores whether Putin is correct in his assumption, and to what degree a 'commonality of values' among the citizens of a country is a crucial element in the establishment of a common identity among them. The study raises two basic questions: Which values are actually common among various groups in Russia's population? And which nation-building strategies are the Russian authorities actually pursuing, centrally and locally? Sociological and political approaches to the study of nation-building and national cohesion in Russia are employed to answer these questions, and the findings contribute to a better understanding of nation-building processes in post-Communist Russia in general and of Putin's strategies in particular. Review Overall, it is well-written and well structured and provides an invaluable insight into the complexities of the Russian nation-building process.--J. Glenn, University of Southampton "Seer " This volume is excellent in that it considers identity-formation in some of the smaller and lesser-known regions. It also carefully and interestingly offers good descriptive evidence of key sources of both Russia's identity tensions and of its relative ethno-political stability. Particularly notable are interesting chapters on history textbooks and on the Orthodox and Islamic religious revival in post-Soviet Russia.--Liliana Riga, University of Strathclyde "Nations and Nationalism, Vol. 11 Part 3, July 2005 " Rich in empirical details. The individual chapters provide well researched accounts of the value structures in different spheres of life and the relationship of these different spheres to the process of nation building in Russia.--Neil Melvin "Europe-Asia Studies " About the Author POl Kolst' is professor of Russian and East European area studies, University of Oslo. Helge Blakkisrud is head of the Centre for Russian Studies, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs.
