Migrants' experiences of material and emotional security in rural Scotland
Drawing on qualitative research with Central and East European (CEE) migrants living and working in rural areas of Scotland, this article explores what it is that facilitates a desire to stay longer term and how this relates to theorisations of social security and migrant-led understandings of normality. The article makes three original contributions: (i) new empirical insight into the relationship between material and emotional aspects of migrat…
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…
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…
Expérience du Déplacement et perception de la patrie Les communautés de rapatriés et la diaspora russes
En 1991, les communautés russes résidant dans les régions non russes de l’Union soviétique se retrouvent soudainement à l’extérieur du territoire de la Fédération de Russie. Alors que les frontières deviennent mouvantes, les Russes subissent une forme de déplacement immobile, encore accentué par les transformations politiques et économiques qui ont suivi. Une partie d’entre eux choisissent ou sont contraints de retourner en Russie. D’autres préfè…

Renegotiating Stability, Security and Identity in the Post-Soviet Borderlands
In 1991 the ethnic Russian and Russian-speaking communities, who had migrated to and been resident in the non-Russian regions of both the tsarist empire and Soviet Union, found themselves located beyond the borders of the newly independent Russian Federation. Despite an absence of actual, physical movement, the communities experienced a form of stationary or figurative displacement as the Soviet Union broke up and political borders demarcating th…
Reconstructing 'Home/lands' in the Russian Federation
One of the most significant migration movements that has taken place in the former Soviet space has been that of the ethnic Russian and Russian-speaking communities from the other former Soviet republics to the Russian Federation after the collapse of the USSR. In 1991 these communities were displaced within their former 'homeland/s', located beyond new political borders and resident within newly independent states, which were undergoing mass soc…
Trans-national approaches to locally situated concerns
The need to examine critially existing understandings of processes of societal change in Russia and Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has formed a key area of debate in recent years. Suggested means for furthering this debate include an examination of the meaning and usefulness of the post-socialist category, a critique of the conceptual and practical divides between East and West, attention to the various impacts of change at the local level, and…
A Diaspora in Diaspora? Russian Returnees Confront the “Homeland”
The term “Russian diaspora” is used to refer to the twenty-five million ethnic Russians who in 1991 found themselves politically displaced beyond the borders of the Russian Federation and resident within newly independent states. This paper firstly reviews the problematic “classification” of these communities as a “diaspora.” More specifically, by drawing on narratives of “home” and “homeland” among those Russians “forced” to return to the Russia…
