Neither Russian Now Is Night nor European nor American media had made any mention of a real military encounter between our countries, and so it was hard to believe these agitated women when they told of atrocities committed by Russian occupants on Ukrainian soil. They seemed like yet another element of brainwashing, just like the reports of Ukrainian Nazi atrocities that flooded the Russian media against the backdrop of the annexation of Crimea, only now with a Ukrainian accent – a mirror image of aggressive propaganda from the other side of the conflict. Ours was a meeting on neutral territory, so to speak, somewhere in the middle of a generic Europe. The women’s tone toward me was unfriendly, even accusatory – as if being Russian automatically made me guilty of the atrocities they were describing. At some point it even seemed that they were screaming at a me. Yet their stories of welded-shut zinc coffins v e e returning “from the East” etched themselves into f o my mind.

    Nationalism As Opposition in Russia - a Historical Comparison

    Nationalism as opposition in Russia - a historical comparison Erika Hellsing Rydergård Institutionen för slaviska och baltiska språk, finska, nederländska och tyska Examensarbete 15 hp Ryska Ryska, kandidatkurs (30 hp) Vårterminen 2017 Examinator: English title: The nationalist opposition in Russia – an historical comparison Nationalism as opposition in Russia - a historical comparison Erika Hellsing Rydergård Abstract During the 19th century, nationalism was generally connected to ideas of democratisation and the contestation of power and status quo. In Russia, there was an ongoing struggle between Official Nationalism, aimed at preserving the empire, and cultural nationalism. This essay is an inquiry into the differences and similarities between how the 19th century Slavophiles and contemporary Russian national democrats, exemplified by Aleksej Naval’nyj, view the Russian nation. The focus is on how the Russian nation is defined, how the two nationalist visions relate to competing views of the Russian nation, and how the idea of a Russian nation is used as part of a vision for social and political change. The essay finds that although “the Other” against which the Russian nation is defined differs in the two historical cases, the use of nationalism to frame an opposition against the regime and to advocate for social and political change is persistent across time. However, because of its excluding tendencies, in the cases studied here cultural nationalism is found to be wanting as a basis on which to build a democratic form of government.

    GAY-BASHING AND SLUT-SHAMING ONLINE: EXAMINING DIGITAL MORAL ACTIVISM OF ‘OCCUPY PEDOPHILIA’ AND ‘CHECK YOU’ By Dinara Podgornova Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies. Supervisor: Associate Professor Erzsébet Barát Second reader: Assistant Professor Hadley Zaun Renkin CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2014 Abstract This thesis explores two projects of digital moral activism taking place on the pages of the Russian social network VK, namely, ‘Check You’ and ‘Occupy Pedophilia’. Both communities are involved in self-identified moral crusades against marginal sexual practices and stigmatize the ‘transgressors’: young women agreeing to engage in casual extramarital heterosexual sex for money, and men arranging a date with male adolescents allegedly to lure them into intergenerational homosexual sex, respectively. I situate these projects within the context of state-led discourses on panicking about homosexuality, pedophilia, cyberspace and other imagined threats to childhood and national security as well as in the context of the current crackdown on civil society and digital oppositional activism in Russia. I analyze the official statements, web pages and videos of the two communities. People crossing the boundaries of accepted erotic conduct are presented by moral activists as threats to societal values. Their wrongdoing is exposed through internet pranks organized by activists, and subsequently punished through the regimes of online exposure where ‘folk devils’ are assigned the affectively charged categories of ‘whores’ and ‘pedophiles’. This thesis explores the contradictions within the logic of the moral activists, as well as the ways in which both projects evolve around the question of irredeemability of ‘folk devils’, which as I shall argue eventually undermines the whole correctional ethos of this activism.

    Maria Sivenkova on Metacommunicative Coordination in British, German and Russian Political Blogs and Webchats

    Мария Сивенкова / Maria Sivenkova „On metacommunicative coordination in British, German and Russian political blogs and webchats‖ Maria Sivenkova On metacommunicative coordination in British, German and Russian political blogs and webchats Abstract: As a vital technique in preparing for effective communication, in correcting ongoing communication glitches, and in remedying problems encountered by the participants in previous interactions, metacommunication has been intensively investigated in various types of discourse. However, there is still a dearth of research on metacommunication in computer-mediated genres of political discussion; and the potential for enhancing online political deliberation remains largely untapped by political agents in many countries. The article deals with several types of metacommunicative remarks employed to facilitate communication exchanges in political weblogs and webchats. These metacommunicative comments are generated by political agents who blog / take part in live chat sessions and by members of the public who post comments on the politicians‘ blogs or participate in online discussions with the politicians. Three categories of the metacommunicative comments are analysed: (i) those performing prospective metacommunicative coordination, (ii) metacommunicative comments that regulate ongoing interactions and (iii) metacommunicative remarks that serve to expose and correct previous discursive organisational issues. In addition, some parallels are drawn between metacommunicative comments employed in online genres of political communication and those generated by political agents in such traditional offline genres as parliamentary question-answer sessions and political interviews. Besides, a few cross-cultural observations in the application of metacommunicative remarks online are discussed. Keywords: metacommunication, metacommunicative comments, metacommunicative coordination, political blogs and webchats, British, German and Russian computer-mediated political discourse. 1.
