The Russian nationalist idea, once marginal in the 1990s, has evolved into a dominant state ideology. The political landscape now promotes a discourse steeped in anti-Western sentiment and a belief that national unity is under threat from both external and internal adversaries. Nationalism has become a “politically correct” stance, permeating all major political parties, with nationalist and crypto-fascist factions gaining influence. The government supports this trend through patriotic education, anti-American foreign policy, new national holidays, a cult of the military, and references to Orthodoxy, while utilizing ultra-nationalist groups to shape public life. The media plays a pivotal role in spreading nationalist ideas, often exacerbating xenophobia, as most major outlets align with state interests, reinforcing nationalist discourse. This nationalist sentiment extends beyond politics and media, influencing cultural and academic spheres, where scholars often promote the notion of “Russian specificity.” Various academic disciplines, including history, sociology, and new fields like culturology and geopolitics, propagate ethnocentric views, the implications of which remain largely unexplored. The collection includes contributions from various authors discussing the complexities of Russian nationalism in contemporary society.
