“…Recent political science research stresses a turn in the Kremlin's rhetoric toward nationalist ressentiment since the end of first decade of the twenty-first century (Breslauer 2009;Smith 2012;Richter and Hatch 2013). This nationalist rhetoric, along with the 2008 economic crisis, may have had a meaningful impact on anti immigrant sentiment in Russia.…”

The main aim of this study was to investigate whether the competition and cultural theoretical models that have received solid empirical support in the context of Western European societies can explain anti-foreigner sentiment in post-socialist Russia as a society searching for new national identity borders. Data obtained from the third round of the European Social Survey (2006) indicate a high level of anti-foreigner sentiment in contemporary Russia -more than 60% of Russians claimed that immigrants undermine the cultural life of the country, and almost 60% claimed that immigration is bad for the economy of the country. Our multivariate analysis showed that the two sets of individual-level predictors of anti-foreigner sentiment -the socioeconomic position of individuals (as suggested by the competition model) and conservative views and ideologies (as suggested by the cultural model) -are not meaningful in predicting anti foreigner sentiment in post-socialist Russia. The results are discussed from a comparative sociology perspective and in the context of the Russian society.

“…However, the rise of the civilisationalist discourse may show changes afoot. In particular, the statists' emphasis on anti-Western ressentiment (the sense of envy that reinforces particularistic pride and xenophobia as parts of national identity) indicates that the statists are closer to the nationalists than often assumed (Smith, 2012). The Putin circle has developed a visceral anti-Western conspirology (Zygarʹ, 2016).…”
