Description - Migration, Displacement and Identity in Post-Soviet Russia by Hilary Pilkington

Upon the collapse of the Soviet Union, around 25 million ethnic Russians have found themselves politically and culturally displaced forming a new "Russian minority", in each of the newly independent states. Since then, around 3 million Russians have either chosen or been forced to return to Russia. Hilary Pilkington explores the experience of reintegration from the perspective of those displaced. She asks how the experience of those self-confessed 'other Russians' informs an understanding of contemporary Russian Society and, in particular, the problematic reconstruction of a post-Soviet Russian identity. She also develops a critical appraisal of current Russian Federation and regional migration policy.
