Description:

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, 25 million ethnic Russians have found themselves constituting a politically and culturally diplaced "Russian minority", scattered throughout the newly independent states. This text explores the impact that these "minorities" have had on post-Soviet Russia.

Synopsis:

The displacement of 25 million ethnic Russians from the newly independent states is a major social and political consequence of the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Pilkington engages with the perspectives of officialdom, of those returning to their ethnic homeland, and of the receiving populations. She examines the policy and the practice of the Russian migration regime before looking at the social and cultural adaptation for refugees and forced migrants. Her work illuminates wider contemporary debates about identity and migration.
