Deceptive Citizenship as an Instrument of New War
The article demonstrates how, under authoritarian practices and post‐colonialism, a state employs deceptive citizenship as an instrument of a ‘new war.’ The deceptive citizenship operates within informational autocracy for a selected category of migrantised people, which make them unaware about the legal, political and mobility consequences of this status. By obscuring the legal, political, and mobility consequences of this status, it enables aut…
Long-term trajectories of return migration
While there is considerable research on return migration, it is disproportionately focused on the immediate moment of return, including decision making. There is an emerging interest, however, in the outcomes for returnees—a policy relevant question at a time when there is growing emphasis on harnessing migration to support rural development. However, limited research has explored the social structures which mediate return migration outcomes, par…
Forced or voluntary migrants? Daily and labour market challenges for new Israeli citizens from Ukraine since 2014
This research challenges the dichotomy between voluntary and involuntary migration, highlighting the role of pre-departure experiences in everyday life and labour market outcomes in the host country. Focusing on a qualitative study among Ukrainians who immigrated to Israel between 2014 and 2020 and compares experiences of those who moved from war-torn zones and government-controlled areas, the paper emphasizes the impact of displacement on vulner…
The Abstract Machine the Art of the Glasgow Circle Artists
This article attempts to analyze and interpret the art of the artists of the “Glasgow circle” of the early 21st century in order to determine its unique features and originality. The philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, as interpreted by such authors as Simon O'Sullivan, Stefan Zepke and Manuel Delanda, was chosen as a possible theoretical framework. The first part of the article is devoted to introducing basic concepts and defining the key stages of ou…
Axiological approach as a factor of university curriculum language
In the modern educational space, the emphasis is on axiological approaches to the formation of the content of education as the most important aspect of personal development. This priority manifests in including various axiological vocabularies and value systems in the new federal state educational standards. However, despite the dissemination of such content, there is still no clear interpretation of the fundamental category of axiology, which un…
The impact of access to electricity on mental health in conflict-affected territories
BACKGROUND: Access to affordable and clean energy is an essential component of the Sustainable Development Goals and a determinant of physical and mental health. However, the occupied Palestinian territory, the Gaza Strip, has experienced prolonged issues with electricity, water and gas supplies. This has significantly impacted on daily life and the area is on the verge of disaster. This research focused on the mental health effects of the lack o…
Has immobility been left behind in migration regulatory infrastructures
The article brings the concept of the immobile left‐behind population into the migration infrastructure debates focusing on countries of migrants' origin. Drawing on an analysis of government's migration policy in Kyrgyzstan and interviews with stakeholders in rural areas, the article concludes that the government relies on a traditional sectoral approach and agriculture in this regard and stands separately from mobility contexts. The policy disc…

Novosibirsk Contemporary Art in 2009-2019
The work examines the contemporary art scene of Novosibirsk from 2009–2019. In the first part of the article we carry out a sociological analysis of the artistic life of the city and highlight such features as: the prevalence of self-organized forms of art presentation over institutional forms, non-publicity and “diffusivity” of a significant part of art practices. We also analyse the influence of these factors on the perception of art and discus…
Migration infrastructures and the production of migrants’ irregularity in Japan and the United Kingdom
The article examines the migration infrastructures and pathways through which migrants move into, through and out of irregular status in Japan and the UK and how these infrastructures uniquely shape their migrant experiences of irregularity at key stages of their migration projects. Our analysis brings together two bodies of migration scholarship, namely critical work on the social and legal production of illegality and the impact of legal violen…
The Feminist Geopolitics of Donbas

Employing critical borders studies and the perspective of feminist geopolitics, this paper looks at borders beyond territories, including discursive landscapes of power and intersectionality. It focuses on the role of art in post-Maidan Ukraine as a response to political violence and bordering, and the relations between art a…

Environmental issues in Russian cities
Based on the media discourse analysis of twelve national and six regional Russian online mass media, the study provides critical reflections on the environmental media coverage across two Russian cities following environmental themes including air and water pollution, waste, sustainable transport, energy, environmental civic engagement, and organic food. The findings suggest that the commonalities of the media coverage include the distribution of…
To Help ‘Brotherly People’? Russian Policy Towards Ukrainian Refugees
The essay focuses on Russian policy towards displaced persons from Ukraine’s war-torn territories from 2014 until mid-2019. The privileging of refugees from Ukraine relative to immigrants and refugees from other countries and, later, the granting of Russian citizenship to Ukrainian citizens from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, were interwoven with both influence-seeking in the Russian geopolitical neighbourhood and transborder nationalism and su…
Forced Displacement from Ukraine’s War-Torn Territories
The number of internally forcibly displaced persons is growing every year across the globe and exceeds the number of refugees. To date, Ukraine has the highest number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Europe, with about 1.4 million people forced to flee from the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Employing Massey’s concept of ‘power geometry’, the modalities of borders, and taking an intersectional approach, this article theorizes how IDPs are …
The contribution of family leisure to family functioning and family satisfaction among urban Russian families
The purpose of this study was to examine how both family leisure involvement and family leisure satisfaction contributed to the explanation of variance in family functioning and satisfaction with family life among urban Russian families (n = 597). As an initial examination of family leisure functioning in the Russian culture, mixed model analysis accounted for family-level and individual level variance, and indicated core family leisure satisfact…
Postcolonial migrations in Russia

Based on the research examining migration from Central Asia into Russia, the paper analyses migration policy and the everyday experiences of migrants. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on mixed methodologies, including narrative, semi-structured and in-depth interviews with migrants …
Does the Miocene-Pliocene relict legume Oxytropis triphylla form nitrogen-fixing nodules with a combination of bacterial strains
Four pairs of strains were isolated from four individual root nodules collected from different plants of the Miocene-Pliocene relict legume Oxytropis triphylla growing in the Baikal region (one nodule – one pair of strains). Identification of these strains by the 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that one strain of each pair was fast-growing and phylogenetically closest to the type strains Phyllobacterium endophyticum PEPV15T (98.8–99.5% 16S rDNA s…
Necropolitics and the Migrant as a Political Subject of Disgust
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia has positioned itself as a modernising country (re)built on the profits of its energy boom and the efforts of, currently, over four million labour migrants, the majority from Central Asia. Far too many migrants endure an extremely precarious everyday as they are forced to live in what this article describes as a citywide state of exception, within which legal frameworks protecting migrants are ignore…
Communities and social care in Russia
Based on large-scale surveys and in-depth interviews, this article discusses the role of religion in social welfare and social work in Russia’s Republic of Tatarstan, a majority Muslim region. It notes that there is relatively little formal social work provided by large-scale Islam-based groups. However, religious spaces are important as places where social networks are developed, facilitating social welfare provision within wider networks. Local…
The Possessed
The demonic is one of the major leitmotifs in Thomas Mann's Der Zauberberg . Like no other leitmotif, it unites in one image two major themes of Mann's text: the fascination with death and the deep‐seated cultural opposition between East and West. In this manner Mann's novel aligns the crisis of West European civilization with an external demonic influence coming from the East. Mann's construction of the demonic in his novel can be traced, on the…
