How do citizens of contemporary Russia feel about their country and do they recognize themselves as part of the nation? According to Karin Kleman, the process of nation-building in post-Soviet Russia is still incomplete. If we look to Western Europe or the United States for comparison, "nation" (despite all the negative connotations surrounding the term "nationalism") is one of the fundamental concepts inextricably linked to democracy: a decent citizen (representative of the nation) is obliged to participate in politics. What is the essence of patriotic sentiment in today's Russia? Is it xenophobic bigotry or a set of ideas aimed at consolidating the emerging nation? Is it ideological propaganda in the name of irremovability of power or a multitude of national memories not reducible to a single narrative? Does the Russians' desire for solidarity come from below and is it fully controlled from above? The author tries to answer these questions on the basis of in-depth interviews with residents of different regions, using qualitative methods to assess the respondents' statements and behavior. Karine Clément is a French and Russian sociologist, specialist in grassroots movements, and founder of the Collective Action Institute. The book was written as part of the project "Can We Live Together? Problems of Diversity and Unity in Modern Russia: Historical Heritage, Modern State and Society".
