Intercultural Relations, Identities, Psychological Well-Being: Post-Communist Experience

Almost 30 years have passed since the dissolution of the USSR into 15 independent states in 1991. About 25 million Russians remained to live in former Soviet republics with different trajectories of post-Soviet development and different ideologies for managing cultural diversity. During these 30 years, a new generation of Russians and representatives of “titular” population of these states grew up and went through socialization. Today, more than 16 million Russians live in post-Soviet countries, outside of Russia. Due to the closedness of many countries and their political, cultural and social distancing from Russia, relatively little is known about the changes in social identities of Russians and “titular” residents belonging to Soviet and Post-Soviet generations.
