Une Russie xénophobe : les dérives de l'idée nationale dans la Russie postsoviétique

Since some twenty years ago, Russia has faced an increasing wave of xenophobic violence. Those engaged in committing such violence represent only a tiny minority of the Russian population. Nevertheless polices and the judicial system have not managed to stop them. The government in fact has been inefficient in its attempt to produce a substantial and coherent program, which could pacify inter-ethnic hostilities. These hostilities are the result of badly managed immigration and also the difficulties that the Russians have faced in rebuilding their national identity after the collapse of the USSR.Konovalova Tatiana.
