"This book looks at Eastern and Western monasticism's continuous and intensive interactions with society in Eastern Europe, Russia and the Former Soviet Republics. It discusses the role monastics played in fostering national identities, as well as the potentiality of monasteries and religious orders to be vehicles of ecumenism and inter-religious dialogue within and beyond national boundaries. Using a country-specific analysis, the book highlights the monastic tradition and monastic establishments. It addresses gaps in the academic study of religion in Eastern European and Russian historiography and looks at the role of monasticism as a cultural and national identity forming determinant in the region"--Publisher info

This examination of the association between nationalist orientations & exclusionist reactions among the Russian & titular populations of five former Soviet republics -- Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, & Kazakhstan -- distinguishes between patriotic & chauvinistic nationalism & between social-distance & negative-stereotype exclusionism. The attitudes of both the Russian & titular populations are examined, based on analysis of survey data collected in the mid-1990s. The results confirm two hypotheses: that chauvinism, more than patriotism, was related to negative stereotypes & social distance; but that both types of nationalism were related to more negative stereotypes than to more social distance. Also, it was found that the association between nationalism & exclusionism was greater among the titular than the Russian population. Tables, Figures. J. Stanton

For many, Russia's rise to prominence and the concurrent conservative wave that has swept many countries in Europe and beyond serves as a chilling echo of the Soviet Union. While a lot can be said about how the modern day Russia resembles the former Communist country, one thing stands out significantly; Russia's influence in its surrounding countries. One may recall the recent almost universally condemned annexation of Crimea in 2014 while others might even think back to the controversial takeover of South Ossetia in 2008. Though these events are notable for the violent conflict that followed them, they are far from being isolated incidents. For many years now Russia has been striving to exert control over the former Soviet Republics that crowd the Russian border. Though the international media tends to focus on Russian militaristic aggression, Russia also utilizes its significant soft power in Eastern Europe and Central Asia to further Russian influence over the countries in these regions and their peoples. This project looks at the past history of Russia in relation to its neighbors and the current tactics used to exert political, economic, and cultural influence over these former Republics in order to better understand how Russia's increasing global authority is a reflection of its dominance within its sphere of influence.
