| Title | The Skinhead Movement in Russian Federation: Street Xenophobia or 'State-Sponsored' Radical Nationalism? |
| Summary | This project will examine the phenomenon of the ’skinhead movement’—one of the most malign and exterminative occurences of xenophobic nature. Since thorough description of ideological, ‘socio-cultural,’ political and economic grounds of the skinhead movement is available in both Russian and Western European academic and media sources, this project will not concentrate on depiction of nature of the movement, or discuss the socio-political background of the targets of the skinhead attacks. Rather, examining racist, xenophobic expressions that became tangible in media, religious- and political agenda of the country, it will try to answer the question of ‘why, overall, the Russian government responds in a way it does to the skinhead movement—conceals, remits and sometimes simply ignores the skinhead crimes?’ |
