(In)voluntary Non-migrants? Unfulfilled Migration Intentions under Emigration Restrictions
The article addresses the question of the distinction between voluntary and involuntary immobility under emigration restrictions. Based on semi-structured in-depth interviews with people whose family members intended to emigrate from the Polish People’s Republic and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic but who have not fulfilled their intentions, it examines the role of the would-be migrant’s agency in driving the immobility outcome u…
Beyond national identity: The positive role of local identity in shaping attitudes to international and internal migration
Research on the link between social identification and attitudes toward immigration has primarily focused on national identification and international migrants, often overlooking the local level. Combining social identity theory and a place identity perspective on intergroup dynamics, we examine national and local identification, as well as their interplay, as determinants of attitudes toward international and internal migration. Our analysis is …
Unfulfilled intentions: Family Stories and Narratives on Unrealised Emigration Under Emigration Restrictions
The paper sheds light on the character of family stories concerning unrealised emigration experienced under emigration restrictions and their potential intergenerational impacts. To this end, it explores the family stories on unfulfilled intentions to emigrate from two countries that were part of the Socialist Bloc, drawing on data from semi-structured in-depth interviews with people whose family members intended to emigrate from the Polish Peopl…
Forced displacement and subsequent generations' migration intentions: Intergenerational Transmission of Family Migration Capital
A growing body of evidence for the 'family migration capital' hypothesis - whereby migration experience in a family leads to a greater propensity to move among migrants' descendants - has so far relied on accounts of any migration experience, including voluntary moves. However, in the case of voluntary migration, a considerable part of the observable effect may be due to self-selection into migration and passing the migration-driving characterist…
With Time We Learn to Trust Others? Long-Standing Ethnic Diversity, Recent Immigration, and Out-Group Trust in Russia
This article examines the relationship between ethnic diversity and out-group trust in contemporary Russia, while distinguishing between long-standing ethnic diversity and recent immigration. In contrast to previous research that tested whether past regional experience with diversity is related to people's attitudes toward out-group members, we focus on long-standing ethnic diversity, defined as diversity resulting from the long-term coexistence …
Family Influences on Migration Intentions: The Role of Past Experience of Involuntary Immobility
The article examines the relationship between past experience of involuntary immobility in a family and the current migration intentions of its members. While family migration experience has been shown to be positively related to migration intentions, the role of past unrealised migration intentions in a family is understudied. Using the case of the former communist bloc, we focus on the migration intentions of people whose family members' mobili…
Exposure to Immigration and Sense of Socio-Territorial Belonging: Evidence from Russia
This paper examines the relationship between exposure to immigration in one’s region or locality and sense of socio-territorial belonging, understood as a “we-feeling” toward other inhabitants of the territory. Based on the Russian case, it addresses the question whether higher intensity of in-migration is related to weaker sense of belonging and how this relationship depends on immigrant origin. Using survey data combined with official statistic…
Does Origin Matter? Ethnic Group Position and Attitudes Toward Immigrants: The Case of Russia
This article analyzes the relationship between the relative position of an ethnic group, as measured by its majority/minority status at a subnational level, and attitudes of its members toward immigrants of different origins. Based on the Russian case, it addresses the question whether the effects of in-group majority status within a region on attitudes toward the general category of immigrants hold regardless of out-group origin and, if not, wha…
Through attachment to settlement: Social and Psychological Determinants of Migrants' Intentions to Stay
Previous research shows that structural, cultural and social integration determine migrants’ settlement intentions. We move beyond such explanations, and consider whether psychological integration at a local level may underlie the relation between social integration and the intention to stay, while accounting for structural and cultural integration. We conceptualise social integration as ties with the natives, and access to emotional and instrume…
Anti-immigrant Attitudes in Russia: The Group Position Model Reconsidered
This article analyses the relationship between relative group position in an ethnically stratified social order and anti-immigrant attitudes in Russia. Based on data from the Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of the Higher School of Economics, it studies the role of two objective indicators of group position: relative ingroup size and the group’s dominant political status within a region. The findings show that when a group position is measur…
The futures of ethnic groups in the Russian Federation
The changes, sometimes dramatic, in the size and structure of the ethnic groups of the Russian Federation (RF) raise questions about their possible futures. The paper presents simulations of how ethnic groups of the RF could develop in the future and discusses the demographic aspects of the predicted changes. The simulations cover a 25-year period, from 1 January 2011 to 1 January 2036 and were prepared for the 22 most numerous ethnic groups usin…
Understanding Sociopolitical Engagement of Society in Russia: A View from Yaroslavl Oblast and Tatarstan
The article explores recent developments in the non-electoral sociopolitical engagement of society in contemporary Russia. Referring to the concepts of political opportunity structure and framing, it considers existing coping strategies that represent alternatives to disengagement—a shift from higher-level political issues to social or local problems and engagement through state-controlled structures—in terms of their role in the development of c…
Economic disengagement in state-society relations in Russia – analysis of a household survey
This paper offers a quantitative analysis of factors influencing economic disengagement in state-society relations in Russia. Referring to the concept of disengagement from the state and the notion of the syndrome of withdrawal, it examines the relationship between economic disengagement and individual, household, and regional-level characteristics. Economic disengagement is measured by means of a composite index constructed out of several elemen…
Intra- vs. extra-regional migration in the post-Soviet space
The paper addresses the distinctiveness of migration flows in the post-Soviet space east of the European Union: the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and Georgia. Population mobility within this region is hypothesized to differ from extra-regional population movements due to the common institutional past of these states, all of which were once the USSR republics. It has been claimed that CIS countries form a distinct post-Soviet migration …
Migration management in the EU’s eastern neighbourhood
In this article we review migration policies that have evolved in the eastern neighbourhood of the European Union, that is, in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States. We ask how they compare with those that have been adopted by European Union member states and migrant settler countries such as Australia. We also use this regional perspective to comment on the application of the systems methodology in migration studies
