This paper makes the first attempt to measure economic disengagement in state-society relations on a regional level, using the case of Russia. An original composite index was calculated based on a number of indicators measuring different spheres of contact between the state and society. The study examines regional diversity in intensity of economic disengagement in state-society relations in Russia. It also attempts to identify determinants of economic disengagement on a regional level. Seeking to identify regional level predictors of the intensity of disengagement, the study focuses on the specificity of the Russian space – its federal structure based on a combination of territorial and ethnic principles. The results show that economic disengagement is least intense in regions belonging to the Russian Far North, which points to the role of physical-geographical factors and path dependence. They also reveal that residents of ethnically-defined regions tend to be less economically disengaged than residents of oblasts and krays. Moreover, the share of ethnic Russians is positively related to economic disengagement in the former regions, while it is not significant in the latter. These findings potentially point to differences between ethnic Russians and members of titular groups in terms of their intensity of interaction with the state in the economic sphere.

“…In recent years, indigenous ethnopolitical mobilization in Russia has been declining for different reasons. First, because the federal legislation in question does not function properly (Donahoe 2011) and the local administrations try to compensate for the differences created by the federal legislationr' second, as a consequence of a clearly-articulated centralization policy resulting from the absence of clear ethnic policy (Rutland 2010).…”

For more than 100 years, ethnographic accounts have highlighted the non-nativeness of the Komi diaspora to the Kola Peninsula, contrasting it with the indigenous Sami population. Their legal status there has been a vexed issue unresolved by Tsarist administrators, Soviet ethnic policies, present-day ideas of multiethnic civic nation, and global indigenous activism. In the everyday life, however, there are no apparent differences between the two ethnic groups and their traditional lifestyles in the rural area of Murmansk region. Juxtaposing historical ethnographic accounts on the Izhma Komi with my fieldwork experiences among the Komi on the Kola Peninsula, I show how ethnographers uphold dominant ideologies and promote different state policies. The ambiguous ethnic and indigenous categorizations from their accounts reverberate in popular stereotypes, political mobilizations from below, and state policies from above. In this way, they make an interesting case for the practical problems of generalization and essentialism.

“…The establishment of population statistics in the form of the first Polar Census, for example, and its role in the creation of new relations between local residents and their surrounding environment, has received prominent attention (Anderson, 2011). Brian Donahoe (2011) has described how legislation in Russia has been producing indigenous subjects without making social citizenship rights available to them. For many years, David Anderson has been producing empirical and theoretical knowledge on indigenous people and their relations to reindeer within a complex framework of state power (Anderson, 2004;2014;Anderson et al, 2014;.…”
