Food systems of internally displaced persons in Ukraine during Russia’s full-scale war
Queen of the fields in wartime
This article examines the corn-driven boom of Ukraine's agriculture, the damage wrought by Russia's war, and the adaptation strategies by Ukrainian corporate agribusinesses. It thereby contributes to debates on the resilience of the global food system: we confirm extant concerns that the neoliberal agricultural model is highly sensitive to external shocks. We show that export-oriented agribusinesses initially sustained significant losses, but lea…
Food sovereignty and solidarity initiatives in rural Ukraine during the war
This article examines coping strategies and solidarity initiatives in rural Ukraine during the full-scale war with Russia. Based on primary qualitative data conducted remotely, it explores the ability of different food producers to farm in military conditions, their mutual help and reciprocity. The article also discusses farmers' mundane patriotism, the influx of internally displaced persons to the countryside, charitable initiatives of agribusin…
Paradoxical” Dissatisfaction among Post-Socialist Farmers with the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy
Farmers in post-socialist Central and Eastern Europe are the major beneficiaries of the European Union’s (EU) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), at least in monetary terms. Why, then, are they dissatisfied with the CAP? This study aims to understand farmers’ subjectivities (i.e., judgments shaped by personal opinions and feelings) regarding CAP and compares these subjectivities to the actual impact of CAP in rural areas. It is based on empirical r…
Right‐Wing Populism in Rural Europe. Introduction to the Special Issue
This special issue aims to understand the rise of right‐wing populism in the European countryside, as well as the forms of resistance and the alternatives being built against it. In this short introduction, we briefly present the main objectives and conceptual position of the special issue and introduce its articles. Each article is discussed here based on its contribution to one of the following themes: (1) analysis of the existing socio‐economi…
Actually existing’ right-wing populism in rural Europe
This study depicts various manifestations of what we call 'actually existing' right-wing populism. Based on empirical insights from eastern Germany, Spain, the UK and Ukraine, we explored how nationalist tendencies unfold in different contexts and what role agriculture and rural imageries play in this process. We analyse contextual factors (rural 'emptiness', socio-economic inequality, particularities of electoral systems, politics of Europeaniza…
Prospects of Agrarian Populism and Food Sovereignty Movement in Post-Socialist Romania
Progressive agrarian populism and food sovereignty have recently been discussed as having the potential to erode the right-wing populist agitation that is currently widespread in rural areas. However, these ideas are unpopular in post-socialist Eastern Europe. This paper studies the Romanian 'new peasant' movement 'Eco Ruralis' - a member organisation of La Vía Campesina. It argues that there is a critical mismatch between the progressive objecti…
Populism, Neoliberalism and Agrarian Movements in Europe. Understanding Rural Support for Right‐Wing Politics and Looking for Progressive Solutions
Right‐wing populism has gained ground in Europe in recent years, with the greatest support among rural communities. Yet the European countryside remains largely overlooked in debates on the current political crisis and the ways out of it. This article aims to provide keys for understanding the connection between right‐wing populism and the rural world in Europe. Our analysis unfolds around three main ideas. First, we argue that the root cause of …
Understanding the silent majority in authoritarian populism
This study distinguishes and challenges three main assumptions/shortcomings regarding the silent majority - the majority of the 'ordinary', 'simple', 'little' people, who are the main supporters of authoritarian populism. The silent majority is commonly portrayed as (1) consisting of 'irrational', 'politically short-sighted' people, who vote against their self-interests; (2) it is analysed as a homogeneous group, without attempting to distinguish…
Patriotism and Food Sovereignty
This article discusses the relations between patriotism and food sovereignty in post-Euromaidan Ukraine. It investigates how the rising Ukrainian national identity and patriotic sentiments during the geopolitical conflict with Russia led to a change in the social imaginary of traditional small-scale farming. Formerly, household farming was seen as a coping strategy of the post-Soviet population and a relic of the socialist past, doomed to disappe…
Naive Monarchism and Rural Resistance in Contemporary Russia
This article applies the concept of “naive monarchism” (i.e., the traditional peasant expressions of reverence for the tsar as their benefactor) to study contemporary rural politics in authoritarian Russia. While Russia is not a monarchy, and its rural dwellers are not traditional illiterate peasants, the veneration of its leader manifests itself in many rural grievances. I analyze three types of rural politics that have traits of naive monarchis…
Quiet Food Sovereignty’ as Food Sovereignty without a Movement? Insights from Post-socialist Russia
What does food sovereignty look like in settings where rural social movements are weak or non-existent, such as in countries with post-socialist, semi-authoritarian regimes? Focusing on Russia, we present a divergent form of food sovereignty. Building on the concept of ‘quiet sustainability’, we present a dispersed, muted, but clearly bottom-up variant we term ‘quiet food sovereignty’. In the latter, the role of the very productive smallholdings …
Rural gentrification in Russia
Resistance or adaptation? Ukrainian peasants’ responses to large-scale land acquisitions
While globally it is reported that peasants are fighting against land grabbing, Ukrainian rural dwellers show tolerance and peaceful acceptance of land grab-related changes. This paper analyses the 'exceptional' case of non-resistance of Ukrainian peasants and argues that it is not as exceptional as it seems at first glance. By studying various rural responses to the large-scale agricultural development in Ukraine and the resulting socio-economic…
Is Russia the Emerging Global ‘Breadbasket’? Re-cultivation, Agroholdings and Grain Production
textabstractIts rise to the top group of global wheat exporters, the abundance of abandoned land, assumed yield gaps and the apparent ‘success’ of agroholdings, have nurtured expectations of Russia becoming a global ‘breadbasket’. It is argued here that becoming a global breadbasket is hindered by substantial costs of re-cultivation abandoned land, management and financial problems of megafarms and agroholdings, lack of infrastructure for exports…
State marionettes, phantom organisations or genuine movements? The paradoxical emergence of rural social movements in post-socialist Russia
Of all the rural social movements in the world, those in post-socialist Russia have been considered to be among the weakest. Nevertheless, triggered by the neo-liberal reforms in the countryside, state attention to agriculture and rising land conflicts, new social movement organisations with a strong political orientation are emerging in Russia today. This sudden burst of civil activity, however, raises questions as to how genuine and independent…
Oligarchs, megafarms and land reserves
This paper seeks to unravel the political economy of large-scale land acquisitions in post-Soviet Russia. Russia falls neither in the normal category of 'investor' countries, nor in the category of 'target' countries. Russia has large 'land reserves', since in the 1990s much fertile land was abandoned. We analyse how particular Russia is with regards to the common argument in favour of land acquisitions, namely that land is available, unused or e…
