Fluid Russia
2021
Overview
Fluid Russia offers a new
framework for understanding Russian national identity by focusing
on the impact of globalization on its formation, something which
has been largely overlooked. This approach sheds new light
on the Russian case, revealing a dynamic Russian identity that is
developing along the lines of other countries exposed to
globalization. Vera Michlin-Shapir shows how along with the
freedoms afforded when Russia joined the globalizing world in the
1990s came globalization's disruptions.
Michlin-Shapir describes Putin's rise to power and his project
to reaffirm a stronger identity not as a uniquely Russian diversion
from liberal democracy, but as part of a broader phenomenon of
challenges to globalization. She underlines the limits of Putin's
regime to shape Russian politics and society, which is still very
much impacted by global trends. As well, Michlin-Shapir questions a
prevalent approach in Russia studies that views Russia's experience
with national identity as abnormal or defective, either being too
week or too aggressive.
What is offered is a novel explanation for the so-called Russian
identity crisis. As the liberal postwar order faces growing
challenges, Russia's experience can be an instructive example of
how these processes unfold. This study ties Russia's authoritarian
politics and nationalist rallying to the shortcomings of
globalization and neoliberal economics, potentially making Russia
\"patient zero\" of the anti-globalist populist wave and rise of
neo-authoritarian regimes. In this way, Fluid Russia
contributes to the broader understanding of national identity in
the current age and the complexities of identity formation in the
global world.
