Urban imaginaries of post-2022 Russian emigrants on Telegram: Negotiating belonging and affective attachment in Yerevan, Buenos Aires, Herceg Novi, and Belgrade
This study examines the digital narratives of Russian emigrants who left the country after 2022, focusing on how they construct urban imaginaries of their host cities on Telegram. Drawing on four publicly accessible Telegram channels (from their creation in 2022 through April 2026), it explores representations of Yerevan, Buenos Aires, Herceg Novi, and Belgrade. The corpus broadly reflects the sociological profile of the post-2022 emigration wave…
Hacking the border: Digital narratives of Russian asylum seekers after 2022
The announcement of the 'special military operation' in February 2022 led to waves of emigration from Russia, further intensified by the mobilization campaign in September 2022. While most Russian emigrants chose countries with visa-free or facilitated visa regimes or took advantage of company relocation, some opted for the more challenging route of seeking asylum in Schengen countries or the USA. This article analyzes the digital narratives of R…
Environmental Imaginaries of the Arctic in the 21st Century Travel Writing
Contemporary travel accounts engage with the ecocritical agenda, examining the global environmental crisis caused by human actions. In contrast to earlier narratives that presented the Arctic as a territory to be “claimed,” today’s travelers predominantly view it as a territory to be preserved. Amid the dialectic of destruction and preservation, new environmental imaginaries emphasize the interconnectedness of nature and human history, employing …
Sights and Scars of Imagined Geography: Journeys through Environmental Disasters in Post-Soviet Countries
Recent travel writing responds to the ecological concerns of its readers and discovers ‘new exoticism’ in the places of environmental destruction. In this paper, we aim to explore the ecocritical insights in the travelogues across post-Soviet zones of radioactive hazard. We focus on the literary strategies used in the travelogues to describe invisible threats such as radiation. We demonstrate that while the contaminated sites in Chernobyl, Kyshty…
Directions of Development of Brics Higher Education Systems: Self-Understanding and Self-Presentation of Chinese and Russian Universities
In the modern world, universities have become actors in the global market of higher education while retaining their connections with national higher education systems and staying embedded in their national culture and traditions. In this light, self-narratives of BRICS universities are of particular interest as they not only reflect these HEIs' understanding of their purpose and role in the national and international contexts but also the self-un…

Imagined geography of Russia in Western travelogues: Conceptualizing space through history
In modern societies, imagined geographies are constituted, along with other means, by travel literature. Unlike standardized tourist guides, travelogues offer personalized accounts of 'genuine' experiences of exploration and encounter. These experiences, however, are largely informed by the accounts of the previous travelers and require a number of literary devices and rhetorical strategies to create a coherent, engaging and authoritative narrati…
