Novorossiya: a Launching Pad for Russian Nationalists
Novorossiya: A Launching Pad for Russian Nationalists PONARS Eurasia Policy Memo No. 357 September 2014 Marlene Laruelle The George Washington University The Ukraine crisis is a game changer for Russia’s domestic landscape. One of the most eloquent engines of this is the spread of the concept of “Novorossiya,” or New Russia. With origins dating from the second half of the 18th century, the term was revived during the Ukraine crisis and gained indirect official validation when Russian President Vladimir Putin used it during a call-in show in April 2014 to evoke the situation of the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine. It appeared again in May when the self- proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics (DNR and LNR) decided to unite in a “Union of Novorossiya.” In August, a presidential statement was addressed to the “Insurgents of Novorossiya,” though the text itself referred only to “representatives of the Donbas.” The powerful pull of Novorossiya rests on its dual meaning in announcing the birth of a New Russia geographically and metaphorically. It is both a promised land to be added to Russia and an anticipation of Russia’s own transformation. As such, “Novorossiya” provides for an exceptional convergence of three underlying ideological paradigms that I briefly analyze here. “Red” Novorossiya The first ideological motif nurturing Novorossiya emphasizes Soviet memory. Novorossiya is both a spatial and ideological gift to Russia’s reassertion as a great power: it brings new territory and a new mission. This inspiration enjoys consensus among the Russian population and is widely shared by Russian nationalists and the Kremlin.

Russia's Military Strategy and Ukraine

It examines both traditional and contemporary elements of strat- egy, with a particular focus on the effect of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s competitive logic and the General Staff’s reliance on non-military methods of thought. With regard to the latter, General of the Army Valeriy Gerasimov, Chief of the Russian General Staff, noted that today, non-military measures in oper- ations are used over military operations by a ratio of 4:1. Also examined is the concept of reflexive control, which may have been used as a propaganda method during the Ukraine intervention This article is not subject to US copyright law.

Contextualizing the Decline of Post-Soviet Russian Parties of the Extreme Right Wing
Toward an Uncivil Society? Contextualizing the Decline of Post-Soviet Russian Parties of the Extreme Right Wing ANDREAS UMLAND n this article 1 use some findings of research into non-Russian civil societies I and ultranationalisms, as well as selected examples of nonparty Russian right- wing extremism, to illustrate that the relative decline in radically nationalist party politics toward the end of the 1990s should riot be seen as an unequivocal indi- cation that "antiliberal statism" has lost its appeal in Russia.' 1 also attempt to show that the considerable diversification in the nongovernmental, not-for-profit sector of Russian society since the mid-1980s2 cannot be regarded as exclusive- ly beneficial in tercos of Russia's polyarchic consolidation and further democra- tization.3 Not only is a Russian "civic public"4 or "civic community"5 develop- ing slowly, but sorne of the more significant pre- and post-Soviet groups, movements, and trends within the Russian voluntary sector are unsupportive or explicitly critical of liberal democracy. A number of major nonstate institutions and networks in Russian society contain ultranationalist, fundamentalist., and protofascist6 subsectors whose nature casts doubt on the use of the construct civil society to designate them. These organizations' or groupings' primary functiion is less or not at all to enhance people's inclination and ability to participate effec- tively in political activities that could prmote further democratization. Instead, they provide a medium for the spread of radically particularistic world views, ascriptive notions about human nature, and illiberal and/or bellicose political ideas, as well as an organizational training ground for potential political activists holding such ideas.` The article is divided in two parts.

The article proclaimed the ambitious goal of building ‘a powerful suprana- tional association capable of becoming one of the poles in the modern world and serving as an efficient bridge between Europe and the dynamic Asia- Pacific region’.1 Although Putin specifically emphasised that the project was mainly about economic integration and had nothing to do with the revival of the Soviet Union, many in the West interpreted it as a plan to restore the Russian Empire. Certainly, the article bore many of the hallmarks of a neo- Eurasianist outlook. The concept of Eurasianism originated in the Russian émigré commu- nity in the 1920s as a reaction to the nightmare of the First World War and the defeat of pro-Western Russian liberals by the Bolsheviks.2 While the term has been defined and interpreted in a number of ways, in essence it simply means that Russia is not Europe, and that European norms, values and principles do not suit Russia, which will go its own way.

The Kremlin’s position appeared somehow hesitant, fostering the resentment of Russian nationalist circles that were hoping for a second annexation. In this article, I explore the term Novorossiya as a live mythmaking process orchestrated by different Russian nationalist circles to justify the Donbas insurgency. The powerful pull of Novorossiya rests on its dual meaning in announcing the birth of a New Russia geographically and metaphorically.

I explore the intersection between the scientific and symbolic agendas in the esurrr ection and de-extinction discourse. I interpret the ideological underpinnings of the current developments in the woolly mammoth de-extinction in the Russian Federation in parallel to the theme of resurrection of historically-important personalities in contemporary Russian fiction of magical historicist bent. My particular focus is on the role of Neo- Eurasianist thinking in the choice of the candidates for resurrection and de-extinction, both animal and human.

Svetlana Alexievich and Alexander Prokhanov on the Soviet-Afghan War Holly Myers Submitted In
Telling and Retelling a War Story: Svetlana Alexievich and Alexander Prokhanov on the Soviet-Afghan War Holly Myers Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Science COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Holly Myers All rights reserved ABSTRACT Telling and Retelling a War Story: Svetlana Alexievich and Alexander Prokhanov on the Soviet-Afghan War Holly Myers Unlike the Russian Civil War or Second World War, the Soviet-Afghan War (1979–1989) never acquired a stable, dominant narrative in Soviet or Russian culture. Even as the war was in progress, Soviet media revised its evaluation of key events and players to reflect the changing political tides through the 1980s. After the war ended, state leaders were distracted by the political turbulence of the 1990s, and the citizens—largely unaffected by the war on a personal level—were not particularly interested in assessing either the war’s successes or failures. This lack of definition left the descriptions and representations of the Soviet-Afghan War open to the influence of evolving political realities and agendas. This study examines the literary techniques and strategies that writers Svetlana Alexievich and Alexander Prokhanov have employed in articulating different narratives that responded to the shifting demands of the moment. With respect to the several revisions that Alexievich made to her documentary novel Zinky Boys from its initial publication in 1990 through its final version in 2007, I argue that the author’s position as anti-authoritarian and anti-war becomes increasingly rigid. Like many liberal-minded members of the intelligentsia after the fall of the Soviet Union, Alexievich had early hopes for a transition from totalitarianism to democracy in her native Belarus which would be disappointed.

(Post)Ideological Novel Serguei Alex
Chapter 3 (Post)Ideological novel Serguei Alex. Oushakine Th ey witnessed how a new apparatus has been taking shape right in front of their eyes. Predatorily aiming at extracting profi t, it followed nothing but its own logic of building a hierarchy in which neither educational pedigree, nor former accomplishments, nor long friend- ship made any diff erence. Iulii Dubov , A Big Ration (Bolshaia paika 2002: 437) Any business is solid as long as it is rooted in blood …: the black blood of the earth, the oil of war, the generously squeezed juice of the soldiers. Dmitrii Bykov , ZhD ( 2012 : 37) Everything is virtual, everything is relative, everything is an outcome of conspiracy. Aleksandr Prokhanov , Mister Hexogen (Gospodin Geksogen 2002: 466) Bad books A major communist rally in a Moscow square brought together a strange mélange of generations and social types. People carrying portraits of com- munist leaders looked ostensibly older than their Soviet heroes. “Old and disappointed,” they seemed to be “on their last gasp, ready to die” in the square. Along with these “doomed,” “poor,” and “depressing,” there was a very diff erent crowd: several hundred people, “strange, young, and united … by some kind of common scar,” which distinguished them from the others since the moment of their arrival in this world. Initially, these young radicals just chanted “Revolution,” but before long they morphed these chants into violent clashes with the city police (Prilepin 2006 : 7, 10). For some reason, San’kia Tishin, an active member of this group of the “strange, young, and united,” was not arrested.
