This book was released on 2002-11-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The displacement of 25 million ethnic Russians from the newly independent states is a major social and political consequence of the collapse of the former Soviet Union. Pilkington engages with the perspectives of officialdom, of those returning to their ethnic homeland, and of the receiving populations. She examines the policy and the practice of the Russian migration regime before looking at the social and cultural adaptation for refugees and forced migrants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the collapse of the USSR in 1991 and the rapid political, social and economic change that ensued, widespread population movements took place across the former territory of the Soviet Union. Migrant Resettlement in the Russian Federation offers a new perspective on one of the most significant movements - the ethnic Russian and Russian-speaking population moving from Soviet successor states to the Russian Federation. While the substantial domestic and foreign policy implications of this migration movement have been recognized, there has to date been little exploration of another crucial aspect of this phenomenon: the micro-level sociocultural experiences and implications of movement and resettlement, and the nature of migrant response. Based on original empirical data collected by the author, this timely book offers a unique insight into the individual and collective experiences of movement and resettlement among Russian migrants 'returning' to the Russian Federation over the period 1991-2002. Moya Flynn uses different levels of analysis (local, regional, national and global) to open up fresh perspectives on the nature of the Russian migration regime and government migration policy. The book offers the first in-depth examination of non-governmental development in the area of migration in post-Soviet Russia and provides new understandings of the experience of migration and resettlement at the individual level, specifically through an exploration of understandings of 'home' and 'homeland' and a focus on the role of migrant networks. Migrant Resettlement in the Russian Federation is a major new contribution to current debates in migration studies. Its unique synthesis of original theoretical and empirical material will appeal to students of contemporary Russian politics, geography, culture and society, academics and policymakers alike.

Download or read book Broad Is My Native Land written by Lewis H. Siegelbaum and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-06 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether voluntary or coerced, hopeful or desperate, people moved in unprecedented numbers across Russia's vast territory during the twentieth century. Broad Is My Native Land is the first history of late imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet Russia through the lens of migration. Lewis H. Siegelbaum and Leslie Page Moch tell the stories of Russians on the move, capturing the rich variety of their experiences by distinguishing among categories of migrants—settlers, seasonal workers, migrants to the city, career and military migrants, evacuees and refugees, deportees, and itinerants. So vast and diverse was Russian political space that in their journeys, migrants often crossed multiple cultural, linguistic, and administrative borders. By comparing the institutions and experiences of migration across the century and placing Russia in an international context, Siegelbaum and Moch have made a magisterial contribution to both the history of Russia and the study of global migration.The authors draw on three kinds of sources: letters to authorities (typically appeals for assistance); the myriad forms employed in communication about the provision of transportation, food, accommodation, and employment for migrants; and interviews with and memoirs by people who moved or were moved, often under the most harrowing of circumstances. Taken together, these sources reveal the complex relationship between the regimes of state control that sought to regulate internal movement and the tactical repertoires employed by the migrants themselves in their often successful attempts to manipulate, resist, and survive these official directives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the breakup of the Soviet Union in August 1991, the 25 million Russians living in what used to be the Soviet republics found themselves overnight living in a foreign land. Even worse, they found themselves in a land that considered them as colonizers. Hundreds of thousands of Russian and Russian-speaking people have already left the Caucasus, Moldova, and Tadzhikistan because of inter-ethnic violence or outright warfare. As of early 1993, the number of refugees and displaced persons within the Russian Federation has reached 2 million. In Russia, the reactions to the massive arrival of refugees have been mixed. In a setting of incresing economic and social tensions, the Russian population has showed concern for the allocation of scarse resources such as food and housing. In the present state of general anarchy, the regional authorities implement governmental decrees at their will and refuse to take in the refugees. Some regions close to the Caucasus have declared the state of emergency. The refugee influx has already considerably strained Russia's ailing structures. In the future, massive Russian immigration from the former Soviet republics could become a major destabilizing factor for Russia's economic, political and social life. Yet, in the West, nobody seems to be aware of this Damocles' sword hanging over the Eurasian region - and indeed over Europe itself. Will the Russians living in the former Soviet republics come back en masse to Russia? In Central Asia, the Slavic population is already leaving en masse because of ceaseless inter-ethnic disturbances. The region could potentially generate even greater flows of migrants, as a result of increased ethnic strife or of economic restructuring. In the Baltic region, despite the existence of legal discrimination against non-indigenous minorities the consistent Slavic population is not leaving en masse. But the situation could change rapidly if the forthcoming legislation concerning non-citizens proved exclusionary. This essay provides a comprehensive and at the same time detailed analysis of the present phenomenon of Russian out-migration from the former Soviet republics and toward the Russian Federation. It reviews the history of Russian migration to the republics. It situates the Russian presence outside Russia within the broader framework of the minority question in the republics. It maps out the actual and prospective patterns of migration. It identifies the structural causes as well as the specific triggers behind Russian out-migration in two case-studies on Central Asia and on the Baltic region. It presents the responses within Russia to the inflow of refugees. Finally, it assesses the outlook for the Eurasian region. (Author's abstract).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past 25 years have seen a major paradigm shift in the field of violence prevention, from the assumption that violence is inevitable to the recognition that violence is preventable. Part of this shift has occurred in thinking about why violence occurs, and where intervention points might lie. In exploring the occurrence of violence, researchers have recognized the tendency for violent acts to cluster, to spread from place to place, and to mutate from one type to another. Furthermore, violent acts are often preceded or followed by other violent acts. In the field of public health, such a process has also been seen in the infectious disease model, in which an agent or vector initiates a specific biological pathway leading to symptoms of disease and infectivity. The agent transmits from individual to individual, and levels of the disease in the population above the baseline constitute an epidemic. Although violence does not have a readily observable biological agent as an initiator, it can follow similar epidemiological pathways. On April 30-May 1, 2012, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Forum on Global Violence Prevention convened a workshop to explore the contagious nature of violence. Part of the Forum's mandate is to engage in multisectoral, multidirectional dialogue that explores crosscutting, evidence-based approaches to violence prevention, and the Forum has convened four workshops to this point exploring various elements of violence prevention. The workshops are designed to examine such approaches from multiple perspectives and at multiple levels of society. In particular, the workshop on the contagion of violence focused on exploring the epidemiology of the contagion, describing possible processes and mechanisms by which violence is transmitted, examining how contextual factors mitigate or exacerbate the issue. Contagion of Violence: Workshop Summary covers the major topics that arose during the 2-day workshop. It is organized by important elements of the infectious disease model so as to present the contagion of violence in a larger context and in a more compelling and comprehensive way.
