Russian-speaking Belarusian Nationalism: An Ethnolinguistic Identity Without a Language
This essay examines the development of a form of Russian-speaking Belarusian national identity. While Belarus’s early post-Soviet nationalists relied upon Belarusian as the central pillar of national identity, this has been challenged by more ‘pragmatic’ nationalists using the ‘language of the people’, namely, Russian. Analysing history textbooks and popular history books that represent three key identity projects in Belarus, this study sheds lig…
Dynamics of National Pride Attitudes in Post-Soviet Russia, 1996–2015
The article examines a key attribute of Russian national identity—national pride—as it is reflected in mass consciousness. To trace the dynamics of multiple facets of national pride and related phenomena from 1996 to 2015, we use data from five surveys. The results demonstrate a substantial growth in Russian national pride in specific country achievements and general pride in Russian citizenship over the last 20 years. This change is the result o…

Small state imperialism: The Place of Empire in Contemporary Nationalist Discourse
Many modernEuropean nations can trace their heritage back to one of the large multinational empires that once encompassed much of theEuropean landscape, and nationalising elites often refer back to their place in these empires for the materials upon which their nation was purportedly built. In this article we examine someBelarusian nationalising elites and their references to theGrandDuchy ofLithuania in order to demonstrate a recent trend inEast…

Factor analysis of the original survey data indicates that there are at least three coherent versions of Lithuanian national identity adhered to by young Lithuanians; two of these are ethnic in nature, while the third is civic. These findings challenge the broader scholarly discussio…

Attractiveness of Leg Length: Report From 27 Nations
The leg-to-body ratio (LBR) is a morphological index that has been shown to influence a person's attractiveness. In our research, 3,103 participants from 27 nations rated the physical attractiveness of seven male and seven female silhouettes varying in LBR. We found that male and female silhouettes with short and excessively long legs were perceived as less attractive across all nations. Hence, the LBR may significantly influence perceptions of p…
