The new Russian diaspora

Description:

In the wake of the USSR's collapse, more than 25 million Russians found themselves living outside Russian territory. Just as uncertain as their citizenship status was the role they would play in the future - whether as homeless refugees in an unstable Russia or as a minority group of uncertain loyalty in other former Soviet republics. This volume, prepared under the sponsorship of the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, offers a comprehensive and amply documented examination of these questions.
