Perception of Migrants by Muscovites Through the Lens of the Contact Hypothesis [Otnoshenie moskvichei k migrantam skvoz’ prizmu kontaktnoi gipotezy]
Corruption”, “Crowds”, and “Lezginka”
Ala-Too as the Main City/Country Square
This article explores the relationship between reformatting of Bishkek’s central square “from above” and mosaics of meanings, claims, and practices produced by different social actors “from below” in response to the ongoing transformation of this space. Drawing on narratives of long-term Bishkek residents and recent internal migrants to the city, we investigate commonalities and divergences in their perception of Ala-Too’s changing image. It is s…
The Russian language in Kyrgyzstan
As in other parts of Central Asia, the role of the Russian language remains high in Kyrgyzstan, in comparison with the other New Independent States (Fierman, 2012). Given the specificity of imperia
Constructing the ‘rural other’ in post-soviet Bishkek
This article takes as its focus post-Soviet Bishkek and explores the arrival to the city of a Kyrgyz migrant population and the perceptions of and reactions to this migrant population on the side of long-term residents (predominantly ethnic Kyrgyz [Russian-speaking], ethnic Russian, and other Russian-speaking communities). The article explores the way migrants are constructed and represented in the language of long-term residents. The data reveal…
The Place of Memory in Understanding Urban Change in Central Asia
This article explores the relationship between memory and place in understandings of urban change in Central Asia. Drawing on narratives of long-term residents of two Central Asian cities we investigate the ways in which positive memories of the Soviet past emerge when people speak about the urban environment of today. We explore why such fondness for the Soviet past has emerged, what elements of the past are most cherished, and which urban commu…
Russians in post-Soviet Central Asia
This paper explores the identity and the social/political behaviour of Russians in post-Soviet Central Asia through a comparison with the Baltic countries via a ‘hot and cold ethnicity’ paradigm. Central Asian Russians are more likely, ceteris paribus, to be found at the ‘cold’ end of the spectrum of ‘ethnic temperatures‘. The article starts with outlining the historical roots of a specific Russians' self-designation in the ‘imperial peripheries’…
Exploring “North” and “South” in post-Soviet Bishkek
In this paper we explore, through the narratives and perspectives of “old residents” in post-Soviet Bishkek, the dominant discourse which has emerged towards rural migrants arriving to the city from other areas of Kyrgyzstan from the late Soviet period onwards. We investigate the existence of a primarily “antagonistic” discourse in relation to the migrants and analyze this in detail to understand how it illuminates wider concerns amongst resident…
Russia and Post-Soviet “Russian Diaspora”
Russia's attitudes toward millions of Russophones in the Newly Independent states (NIS) have been noted, since 1991, for their ambivalence. The concept of a “Russian diaspora” has been pursued as an ethno-selective ideological project. On the practical-political level, however, Russian authorities were obliged to rest upon a loose notion of “compatriots.” In this article, “virtual diasporization” is juxtaposed with Russophones’ identities and beh…
