Debates on Narodnost in Russian Intellectual Culture: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow (“Round Table” Materials)
In November 2024, a “round-table” was held on the topic: “Debates on Narodnost in Russian Intellectual Culture: Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”. The discussion was initiated by the journal Voprosy Filosofii and by representatives of the research project No. 24-18-00651, “The Ontology of the Nation in Russian Neo-Kantianism”, carried out at the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University and supported by the Russian Science Foundation. Leading domesti…
Судьба прогнозов на основе концепта этнорасовых групп / The Fate of Forecasts Based on the Concept of Ethnoracial Groups
В статье дается оценка книги В. И. Козлова об иммиграции и этнорасовых проблемах в Британии (1987) и анализируется сделанный им на период 1980-х годов прогноз развития ситуации. Автор сопоставляет перспективный сценарий 35-летней давности с современными реалиями и отмечает, что миграция и политика мультикультурализма привели к радикальным переменам в национальной и этнической идентификациях жителей страны. На примере Англии и Уэльса по итогам пер…
On Reconciling Constructivism and Primordialism: Tribute to Andrei Vladimirovich Golovnev
The article brings forward the idea of ethnic plurality as an alternative to multinationalism (mnogonarodnost).The author employs the constructivist approach to reality, which does not renounce primordialism, but helps to understand how primordial feelings and loyalties are invoked and manifest themselves.The paper outlines the critical contributions of constructivism to the study of ethnicity and ethnopolitics.Constructivism expounds massive shi…
Counting the peoples or deconstructing population censuses
By taking the approach of social constructivism, I examine the practices and experience of conducting population censuses in various countries as well as the outcomes of the 2020-2021 Census in Russia. I make suggestions about the principles of census organization in regard to recording information on ethnicity, nationality, and language, and draw attention to problems and complications in the so-called roster of peoples of Russia. I further adva…
The Great Victory and the Soviet People: Anthropological Analysis
Автор счел уместным предложить для републикации статью, опубликованную ранее в малотиражном издании (Ярость благородная... Великая Победа и советский народ (антропологический подход) / Исследования по прикладной и неотложной этнологии. М.: ИЭА РАН, 2015), поскольку считает, что обсуждавшаяся тема сегодня приобрела острую актуальность. Редколлегия поддержала эту инициативу автора. Предлагается философско-антропологический анализ экзистенциаль…

From Ethnos to Demos: The Quest for Russiaʹs Identity
Contemporary Ethnopolitical Processes
Diverse contemporary ethnopolitical processes are described as an introduction to the turbulent North Caucasus written originally for Moscow politicians. The author argues that instability from two recent wars has been brought under control by the federal authorities, and that Chechnya is once again part of the Russian Federation
Civil Society Institutions and Peacemaking
The authors highlight relatively unknown efforts at local civil society building and conflict management in the North Caucasus. They feature a report that surveys activities with youth and with elders' councils, in the republics of Chechnya, North Ossetia-Alania, Kabardino-Balkaria, Dagestan, and Ingushetia

The Diaspora as a Historical Phenomenon
After this article was written, the first issue of our new [Russian] journal, Diasporas, appeared, with an article by Aleksandr Militarev on the term "diaspora" His starting thesis, "this term has absolutely no universal content and, strictly speaking, is not even a term,"1 is one I fully share. But what exactly are we talking about, if we go beyond a historicolinguistic digression

Forget the `nation`: Post-Nationalist Understanding of Nationalism
There is a great failure and mental morass concerning theory and political practice of nation and nationalism, including not only traditional approaches but late nationalism studies as well. The reason is a long-standing and widely shared quest for adequate definition of what does not exist, in reality, as a collective body. Nation is a powerful metaphor which two forms of social groupings -polity (state) and ethnic entity (the people) -are fight…
Ethnic Conflicts in The Former USSR: The Use and Misuse of Typologies and Data
This article summarizes research on ethnic conflict in the Former Soviet Union (FSU). Various appealing but unsatisfactory typologies have been proposed, focusing on the subjects of the conflict (actors, goals, motivations); on the environment of the conflict (territory, language, socio-economy, environment and resources; or on characteristics of the conflict (scale, length, form of fighting, losses, aftermath). Most conflict typologies reflect b…

Don't Kill Me, I'm a Kyrgyz: An Anthropological Analysis of Violence in the Osh Ethnic Conflict
The summer 1990 Kyrgyz-Uzbek ethnic violence in former Soviet Central Asia is studied using microlevel socio-anthropological analysis of the texts of the criminal court's sentences as the major source material. Ethnic violence is examined in terms of space, time, the actors, the motives and the forms of manifestation. Some general conclusions are drawn and some Soviet and Central Asian specifics are established. Rumours and myths based on sociall…

Post-Soviet Ethnography: Not a Crisis but Something More Serious
Three years have passed since the publication of my articles in Etnograficheskoe obozrenie and Current Anthropology on the crisis in Soviet ethnography.1 It was a time of deep societal transformations, mainly in the domain of politics and ideological manifestations and less in the domain of civic culture and human behavioral patterns. Social science scholarship, including anthropology, is at a crossroads in this transitional period with an open a…
Soviet Ethnography: Overcoming the Crisis
I will state right from the very beginning that the word "crisis" in the title of the article refers not only to those social conditions in which our science has found itself, but also to the discipline itself, including its most authoritative focal point: the N. N. Miklukho-Maklai Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology. It would be an obvious simplification and a moral self-concession for the author to depict things in such a way that he would …
