- W64568511 abstract "The recent electoral upheaval in Moscow and the Kremlin's response to it have led to a wave of xenophobic jingoism, and started another cycle of penetration of Russian public discourse with ethnocentrist and conspirological ideas. Russian officials have been using more ardently than hitherto anti-Western ideas, and some high posts are now occupied by outspoken propagandists of an alleged US-inspired conspiracy against Russia. While these developments are worrying, a success of the current Russian attempt to re-democratize will eventually imply a new rapprochement between Moscow and the West. Reports on recent developments in domestic Russian politics have, after years of depressing news on the growth of Putin's authoritarianism, become more encouraging again. Reminiscent of the perestroika period, the Russian state appears currently to be in a phase of gradual liberalization which may, like in the late 1980s, eventually lead to a re-democratization. In the 1990s, the emerging Russian proto- democracy was under the threat of being overthrown by the Soviet Union's old elites. Ultimately, this danger materialized with Putin's neo-Soviet restoration since 1999. The currently liberalizing tendencies are also in danger of being reversed by anti-democratic forces. The most worrying anti-liberal force today is the growing post-Soviet ultra-nationalist movement with deep links into both Moscow's governmental institutions and Russian civil society. The various radically nationalist groupings and circles have so far been fractured and often more engaged in quarrels among themselves than in challenging their (also fractured) anti-nationalist opponents within and outside the regime. Yet, the currently evolving democratic movement could provide an incentive for the various Russian extremely right-wing forces to consolidate. Should this happen, Russia could again become a major matter of concern for international security. In distinction to the 1990s, Russian nationalist ideas are now prominent in the political mainstream, and nationalists are well-represented in Moscow's establishment. Putin himself belongs to this creed and recently admitted: I am a Russian nationalist, too. 1 Moreover, ethnocentric, xeno- as well as homophobic, and neo-imperial arguments have become part and parcel of everyday political discourse, on both the elite and mass level. Many, if not most political discussions in Russia today end up with speculations about the nature, fate, role and future of the Russian nation. Where did the fixation on the Russian question come from? Being neither fully European nor Asian, Russia is in a geopolitically difficult position, has a long, insecure border with China, and is still experiencing syndromes of a post-imperial trauma. 25 million Russians are living outside the borders of the Russian Federation. With over 12 million immigrants, Russia is the second biggest recipient of inward migration in the world after the US, and a large portion of it is unregulated or/and illegal. For instance, 700,000 Tajik citizens are legally registered to work in Russia, yet there are estimates that up to 2 million Tajiks may be living in Russia in total. 2" @default.
