SUMMARY:

The theoretical object of this ethnography is how identity or identification – be it ethnic or national – is articulated and constructed (or transformed), particularly in border or conflict situations. The empirical object is about the borders of the Russian category of identification, with a focus on the post-Maidan Russian-Ukrainian border region (2014-2020), more specifically Donbass, and also the Don Cossacks. To this end, fieldwork was carried out in Rostovon-Don, with Cossack interlocutors and also in the so-called Republic of Lugansk. This ethnographic case is then located within a larger etnology context, namely that of East Slavs and that of post-Soviet situations. This work employs and refines Stephen Shulman's and Chew Sock Foon's notions of loyalties and attraction and also Brubaker's concept of groupness. It does so by drawing on John R. Eidson and others' notions of alignment and reframing, thereby thinking of categories of identification in terms of frames; as such, these categories can (re)align and re-frame themselves in different ways. This dissertation proposes the notion of a post-Soviet vacuum as a generator of identity demands and dilemmas. In this context, some ideas of the neo-Eurasian geopolitician Alexandr Dugin are also briefly analysed. In addition, this work also addresses how the idea of Moscow as the Third Rome informs the notion of Russkiy mir (Russian World) and the Compatriots policies. Moreover, it discusses how a matrioska conception of the State collides with national State concepts and with nationalizing projects in post-Soviet states such as Ukraine. Finally, it identifies, paradoxically, a Moscowcentered ethno-cultural-religious core even in post-national Russian projects. Some considerations are also briefly made about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict post-2022.
