Political legacies and present perceptions of migrants
This paper examines the long-term impact of past political processes and events on current perceptions of immigration. As a case study, we focus on contemporary public perceptions of migrants by citizens of the Baltic states and ask how historical migration patterns and policies within the former Soviet Union are reflected in these perceptions. Our analysis is based on original survey data collected from nationally representative samples in Eston…
Who’s a migrant in postsocialist Europe
Is Anti-Immigrant Sentiment Owned by the Political Right
In political and social scientific discourses, the link between right-wing political orientation and anti-immigrant sentiment is often presented as a universal social fact. Based on a systematic examination of the association between left-right political orientation and attitudes towards migrants, the article demonstrates a clear inconsistency in the strength and direction of this presumed association in postsocialist European countries. We provi…
Politicized Demography and Biomedical Authority in Post-Soviet Russia
We explore obstetrician-gynecologists' (ob-gyns') shifting involvement in late Soviet and post-Soviet reproductive politics and track broader political-economic dynamics of the profession's ambivalent relations with state demographic discourses. Soviet ob-gyns largely distanced themselves from explicitly pronatalist agendas. Post-soviet national politics of 'population renewal' and the neoliberalization of health care have significantly restructu…
On the West-East methodological bias in measuring international migration
This article examines the complex relations between two social processes – standardisation and quantification in measuring migration. We explore how international migrant populations in the European territories of the former USSR, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia have been defined, counted and presented in European population statistics. Our analysis led us to conclude that the category of international migrant, defined as a person born abroad accor…

When Borders Migrate
Using the Baltic states as an empirical example of a wider social problem of categorization and naming, this article explores the statistical categories of 'international migrant/foreign-born' population used in three major cross-national data sources (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Eurostat and The World Bank Indicators (WBI)). We argue that these seemingly politically neutral categories ignore historical processe…
Uneasy translations
The article explores a series of professional development seminars for state bureaucrats in the context of the moral panic over Russia's 'demographic crisis'. It follows the vernacularization of social knowledge for state bureaucrats - a central practice that marks these pedagogical engagements. The article explores this practice's potentialities and limitations for effectively communicating social knowledge to administrative audiences. It ground…
The History and Afterlife of Soviet Demography
The discourse on the demographic crisis in contemporary Russia resonates with a neoliberal political project that attempts to govern populations through the market logic of optimization, responsibilization, and efficacy. Yet, as this article argues, the basic categories of the discourse, although evocative of a new neoliberal rationality, were in fact born of epistemological changes that took place in the Soviet science of population in the last …
Rodologia
The article examines how people in post-Soviet Russia learn to interpret Soviet political genealogies as implicated in their own family histories. Based on long-term fieldwork in a large provincial city in Russia, it focuses on a particular form of amateur genealogy calledRodologia(rodstvo= kinship). Informed by a burgeoning self-help culture, Rodologia's followers argue that psychological "self-realization" can be achieved by identifying the eff…
Racism and the politics of signification
This paper explores the phenomenology of racism using the Israeli situation as a case study to examine if, when and how the concept of 'racism' is employed in local media discourse on policy towards Palestinian citizens. Our central argument is that racism, as a signifier of policy, can be located in the dialectic between denial and affirmation of the category of race, while we link the scope and meanings of practices marked by the media as 'raci…
