La colonizzazione del Sud-est ucraino: una questione etnica ucraino-russa nella lettura di Dmytro Bahalij
2022
The Ukrainian-Russian ethnic question in Southeastern Ukraine has gained critical importance during the war unleashed by Moscow against Ukraine in February 2022; in this paper I analyze the question of the Ukrainian-Cossack and Muscovy colonization of this very region. I focus on the work by the Ukrainian scholar Dmytro Bahalij (1857-1932), a former member of the Russian Imperial Academy of Sciences. Bahalij emphasizes the key difference between the Ukrainian-Cossack popular colonization of the steppe region and the Moscow administration of these territories. The paper examines some of the main writings by Bahalij and reviews critical articles about his works.
Families in flux: at the nexus of fluid family configurations and language practices
2021
Research on multilingualism in the home has approached the family as a fixed unit thus neglecting the dynamic view of the family and its intersection with family language practices. The present study aims to address this gap by focusing on Russian-speaking mothers in Finland who have raised their children bilingually in single-parent as well as in dual-parent families. Russian speakers are the largest minority language group in Finland, and their number is constantly growing. The current study is a contribution to the research on family language practices in the Finnish context. It examines the nexus of shifts in family configurations and language practices and explores how the dynamic chan…

Krievijas īstenotā tautiešu politika Latvijā kopš 2000. gada
2016
Maģistra darbs aplūko attiecības starp Latviju un Krievijas Federāciju, kuras nosaka Krievijas ārpolitikas mērķi attiecībā uz tās tautiešiem ārvalstīs. Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai Krievijas tautiešu politika rada Latvijai politiskos draudus, un izpētīt, kādi ir Krievijas tautiešu aizstāvības organizāciju darbības slēptie mērķi Latvijā. Maģistra darbs ir aprakstoša un analītiska gadījuma izpēte, kurā ir izmantotas kvalitatīvās pētniecības metodes: dokumentu analīze, sekundāro datu, kritiskā diskursa, video un interviju analīze.

Obraz Rossii v polʹskih demotivatorah
2017
Demotivators are Internet hybrid texts, which reflect Internet users’ attitudes to politics, culture, sport, more or less famous individuals, and nations. A common topic expressed with demotivators is Russia and the Russians. However, the images of Russia projected by such demotivators are frequently stereotypical and negative, while graphic images employed in the Russian-themed hybrid texts can be classified into several categories. The first group constitutes images adhering to the underlying idea that “Russia is not a country; it is a state of mind”. These demotivators copy the content of the Russian Internet that depicts Russia as a country of absurdity, nonsense and poverty. Another gr…
Perceived threat and prejudice towards immigrants and Russian minorities living in Finland
2017
This study is an attempt to better understand the relationship between Finns and Russian minorities living in Finland. This study considers the role of perceived threats to the attitudes of Finnish adolescents towards Russian minorities. The theoretical framework for this study was the integrated threat theory (ITT). Even though ITT has been revised and threats have been reduced to two major threats (realistic and symbolic threats) (Stephan et al., 2015), this study utilized the original conceptualization of ITT which stipulates that prejudice and negative attitudes towards minorities can be explained by four types of threats that are: realistic threats, symbolic threats, negative stereotyp…
