Transnational activism among Russian wartime migrants
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 triggered a historic wave of emigration, reshaping the landscape of Russian political opposition abroad. Thousands of wartime migrants and exiles have sought to contest the Kremlin’s war and authoritarianism through transnational activism. Yet, as this special issue demonstrates, the relationship between exile and activism is deeply ambivalent. Rather than an automatic extension of dissent across bo…

Informal Sanctions and Patriotism From Below
Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Georgia became a key destination for Russian migrants, who significantly influenced the local housing market. This article explores the impact of the influx of Russian migrants into Tbilisi, which caused a surge in rental prices and aroused feelings of social insecurity among Georgian citizens. Using qualitative methods, including social media analysis and semi-structured interviews, the st…

Claiming the city
This contribution draws attention to faith-based activism as ‘lived citizenship’ among Georgian Muslims in Georgia. A controversial case of the construction of a mosque in multi-religious Batumi is not an isolated episode confined to the city, but goes back to a much longer dispute over Georgianness among Georgian Muslims and should be located in a wider, global perspective. An emerging regional metropolis in Georgia offers fruitful arenas for th…
Religious activism in Eastern Europe and beyond
This collection of contributions addresses the theme of religiously motivated and religiously framed civic activism by bringing together anthropology and theology. The main goal is to put forward a concept of religious activism as local, non-elitist responses challenging dominant discourses and regulation of the religious in authoritarian and more democratic societies. Highlighting complex entanglements of religion, civic engagement, and politica…

Discovering the Homeland
Centré sur certains aspects de la diaspora arménienne et de la République d’Arménie, cet article met en lumière l’émergence de modes d’engagement relativement nouveaux entre la « diaspora » et la « patrie » au xxi e siècle. Il examine en particulier le rôle d’un type spécifique d’organisation de la diaspora qui se positionne comme un intermédiaire facilitant les voyages des jeunes Arméniens de la diaspora dans le pays promu comme leur patrie ance…
Discovering the homeland
Focusing on parts of the global Armenian diaspora and the Republic of Armenia, the article highlights the emergence of relatively new, twenty-first-century modes of engagement between “diaspora” and “homeland”. In particular, examined is the role of a distinctive type of diasporic organization that positions itself as an intermediary facilitating young diasporic Armenians’ travel to and volunteering in the country that is promoted as their ancest…
Journey to the future
This article highlights diasporic migrants' transnational linkages with and trips to their homeland. Second and later generations of diasporic Armenians, predominantly from the USA and Canada, claim to travel to the ancestral homeland in Armenia not as heritage tourists to see the holy Mount Ararat but to invest in local development through social work. Based on ethnographic research, in-depth interviews with volunteers and text materials, this a…
The “Boneless” Saint from Baku
Prayer house or cultural centre? Restoring a mosque in post-socialist Armenia
Post-socialist urban dynamics in the Caucasus have been characterized by uneven processes of rebuilding and reclaiming of sacred spaces. Exploring re-emerging Shia Muslim lifestyles in post-conflict Armenia around Yerevan's Blue Mosque, I examine how a religious place is perceived and used in everyday life. Built at the end of the eighteenth century in a multi-religious environment, today the Blue Mosque is associated with the political body symb…
Global Cosmopolitanism and Cosmopolitans
Global cosmopolitanism is a metaphor, goal, and social vision deployed to challenge spatial or cultural encapsulation and to generate a sense of interaction, global mixing, and sharing around the world. The term “global cosmopolitans” is a self‐ascribed status of those highly educated individuals who, seeking travel across national borders, are considered to practice a positive attitude towards the unfamiliar, have skills for intercultural commun…
Cosmopolitan Sociability
Defining cosmopolitan sociability in a transnational age. An introduction
This special issue features ethnographies that examine the trajectories of mobile people within particular places, moments and networks of connection. Critiquing the ready equation of cosmopolitanism with experiences of mobility, we examine the encounters of pilgrims, migrants, missionaries or members of a diaspora. Defining cosmopolitanism as a simultaneous rootedness and openness to shared human emotions, experiences and aspirations rather than…
Rethinking homecoming
This paper focuses on a transformation of the nostalgic concept of diasporic homecoming in the context of a new cosmopolitanism. By bringing economic and social capital into a land with a high rate of poverty, the US Armenian Americans of the second and third generation have come to feel incorporated into 'ancestral homeland' in Armenia in a variety of different ways. They combine 'homeland imaginaries' and 'ancestral tourism' with an assertion t…

The road to Golgotha
Following the story of a public memorial, I discuss the change in the scale of the remembrance of loss among post-Soviet Armenians in Yerevan. The shift from forgotten to visible Armenian loss started in the mid-1960s with protest from below during Khrushchev's political thaw and culminated at the beginning of the twenty-first century in an institutionalized state policy of commemoration. I discuss the ways in which a new memorial landscape of lo…
