Full textAbstract:
La presente ricerca ha lo scopo di fornire una panoramica dell’insegnamento e dell’apprendimento dell’italiano come lingua straniera in Russia, all’interno del segmento accademico. Lo studio della nostra lingua, a livello superiore, vanta una tradizione consolidata che risale all’epoca di Pietro il Grande e non ha mai conosciuto interruzioni, nemmeno in epoca sovietica, nella quale i rapporti con l’occidente erano fortemente limitati.
Nello specifico, sono due le domande sulla quale si è sviluppata questa indagine. La prima, mira a rintracciare le difficoltà di apprendimento della lingua italiana a livello: ortografico, fonetico, lessicale, morfosintattico, semantico, pragmatico e interculturale da parte di gruppi di studenti russofoni, che costituiscono gruppi monolingui e monoculturali. A livello speculare, anche le criticità legate all’insegnamento. La seconda domanda riguarda la percezione dell’efficacia dell’approccio e del metodo d’insegnamento, ancora a forte vocazione formalistica e traduttiva. In considerazione di alcuni fattori determinanti, come: l’età e la motivazione degli apprendenti, la disponibilità e varietà di strumenti digitali, le richieste del mondo professionale e lavorativo nel quale lo sviluppo della competenza comunicativa e interculturale ha un ruolo chiave.
Il paradigma di tipo qualitativo e il metodo dello studio di caso costituiscono il quadro metodologico di riferimento. Gli strumenti di ricerca ai quali si è fatto ricorso sono: le interviste semi-strutturate e i questionari. Nel tentativo di raggiungere quanti più informant possibili, questi ultimi sono stati somministrati online. Sono stati coinvolti nell’indagine sia docenti sia studenti di cinque università moscovite, alcune a vocazione linguistica, altre riconducibili all’area economica, amministrativa e delle relazioni internazionali.
Alla luce dei dati emersi attraverso la raccolta e la processazione, avvenuta con l’ausilio del software NVivo, è possibile dare un’interpretazione e una risposta ai quesiti di partenza, senza la pretesa di poter generalizzare i dati, vista la natura qualitativa del lavoro.

Rose, Katherine Mae. "Multivalent Russian Medievalism: Old Russia Through New Eyes." Thesis, Harvard University, 2016. http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:33493416.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores representations of medieval Russia in cultural and artistic works of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with an eye to the shifting perceptions of Russia’s cultural heritage demonstrated through these works. The thesis explores the history of medievalism as a field of study and interrogates the reasons that medievalism as a paradigm has not been applied to the field of Russian studies to date. The first chapter is an investigation of architectural monuments incorporating Old Russian motifs, following the trajectory of the “Russian Style” in church architecture, one of the most prominent and best-remembered forms of Russian medievalism. Chapter two explores the visual representation of medieval Russian warriors, bogatyri, in visual and plastic arts, and the ways in which this figure is involved in the national mythmaking project of the nineteenth century. The third chapter focuses on the Rimsky-Korsakov opera, The Invisible City of Kitezh and the Maiden Fevroniya, investigating the ways that different medieval and modern elements come together in this work to present an aestheticized image of medieval Russia. In this analysis of diverse and far-ranging facets of Russian medievalism in the plastic, visual, literary and performing arts, the complicated relationship between medievalism and the prevalent discourse of nationalism is investigated, opening up new opportunities for scholarly intersections with other medievalisms – in Western Europe and beyond.Slavic Languages and Literatures

Full textAbstract:
The study examines how print media in Sweden portray Putin, Russia and Russians and what makes an impact on Swedish journalists when they write on that subject. The first part presents a content analysis of articles published in the two main Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Svenska Dagbladet (DN and SvD). The two most significant years of coverage of Russia in Sweden (2014-2015) were chosen as a time frame for the analysis. It examines the predominant tones that were used in the articles towards three keywords “Putin”, “Russia” and “Russians”, as well as the sources that were chosen by the journalists. In line with previous researchers, the author of this study observed a certain tendency shared in two Swedish printed media to report negatively about the Russian president. At the same time tones towards the country in general and its citizens were more neutral than negative. The second part of the research focuses on qualitative interviews with journalists representing different media in Sweden (radio, TV channels and newspapers). During the interviews, journalists were invited to reflect how they see Russian society, what connection they have with Russian culture and what impacts their choice of topics. According to the findings, a journalist’s work is affected by their individual background, economical situation in media organisations and expectations from the audience.

This thesis seeks to analyze Russia&rsquos responses to globalization under Vladimir Putin in the fields of energy and foreign policy. This thesis argues that Russia under Vladimir Putin has redefined its process of globalization through a nationalistic perspective as its policies in the field of energy and foreign policy demonstrate. The thesis has seven chapters including introduction and conclusion chapters. The concept of globalization is explored in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 examines Russia&rsquo
s globalization under Boris Yeltsin and his energy and foreign policies. In Chapter 4, responses of Russian communist, nationalist and liberal intellectuals, to the globalization of Russia under Boris Yeltsin are evaluated. Chapter 5 explores the energy policy of Vladimir Putin while Chapter 6 discusses foreign policy of Russia under Vladimir Putin.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze and discuss Russia&rsquos Asia-Pacific policy after the end of the Cold War by focusing on Moscow&rsquo
s bilateral relations with the major regional countries and its overall multilateral approach and policies towards the Asia-Pacific region. Contrary to the views of scholars who claim that Russia has already emerged as a major power in the Asia-Pacific, the thesis argues that Russia&rsquo
s strategy of becoming a great power in the Asia-Pacific Region has significant limitations stemming from its competitive and assertive policies that ignore the role of multilateralism and international cooperation. Although Russia has been actively engaged in the region at the bilateral level and through its participation in the regional organizations in the post-Cold war era, this region has its own particular dynamics which necessitate a greater level of regional economic integration and a liberal approach to multilateralism rather than a realist &ldquo
power politics&rdquo
approach. Russia&rsquo
s policy of aligning itself with China militarily in the region has counterproductive consequences as it intensifies geopolitical competition in the region, and marginalizes Moscow further. The thesis is composed of six chapters. After the introduction, the second chapter examines origins of Russia&rsquo
s presence in the Asia-Pacific Region. The following chapter discusses the sources of Russia&rsquo
s increasing interest in the Region. The fourth chapter is concerned with Russia&rsquo
s relations with main actors of the Asia-Pacific Region while the fifth chapter focuses on Russia&rsquo
s involvement in theregional organizations. The last chapter is the conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines the conception and performance of masculinities amongst two groups of Russian men, half of whom live in Russia and the other half in the United Kingdom. A total of forty in-depth biographical interviews were carried out, twenty in each country, with men of different ages and highly different social backgrounds. On the basis of these interviews, the thesis portrays contemporary Russian masculinities as a complex, socially and historically constructed phenomenon, situated within large-scale social and political processes. It explores the most prominent reference points and social hierarchies employed by the respondents in order to negotiate their individual gender projects, and shows how these are culture-specific, context-specific, and rooted both in individual life history and in the social, economical and political realities of different historical periods. While the respondents play an active role in defining and constructing their own masculinities, they do so within the macro-parameters laid down by the state, in accordance with broader socio-cultural and political factors. Shifts in the macro-parameters (such as the collapse of the Soviet Union or migration to another country) change the environment in which an individual lives and give rise to new resources for negotiating masculinity. Like the reference points and social hierarchies referred to above, these new resources are rooted in specific historical, cultural, political and personal events. Each resource belongs to a particular social topography that orients people towards the places, practices and discourses which they need to realise their masculinity. The main empirical findings in the thesis are ordered in accordance with the contexts, reference points and hierarchies for making masculinity which were referred to by the research participants themselves. The dissertation is structured around four contexts which emerged from the data: (i) the Soviet past; (ii) the first post-Soviet decade (the 1990s); (iii) the second post-Soviet decade (the 2000s); (iv) the immigration period. I explore different masculinity construction strategies and the reference points on which they rely as the site of a socio-cultural power struggle that offers a unique prism through which to understand how Russian masculinities and gender relations are validated and contested, and how they change.

Les représentants de la science juridique contemporaine ont maintes fois énoncé, depuis leurs chaires et dans les pages des publications scientifiques, le problème de la «quête par la Russie de sa nouvelle voie juridique » La cessation de l’existence de l’URSS en tant qu’État n’a fait que compliquer, à cet égard, le problème de l’identification collective du système juridique russe. Cependant, il convient de s’interroger sur la pertinence même de la question de l’étape initiale de la formation du système juridique de la Russie. N’aurait-on pas raison, à cet égard, de parler de son évolution plutôt que de son devenir ? Quel âge a ce système ? Des dizaines d’années ? Ou peut-être des centaines ? Que représente-t-il en soi à l’heure actuelle ? Et quels sont les paradigmes de son évolution au cours de la longue histoire de son existence ? Dans la thèse présenté, les réponses aux questions mentionnées seront données à travers le prisme d’une approche par l’auteur du problème de l’appréciation conceptuelle et formelle de la catégorie «système juridique »At their lecturing desk and in some scientific publications representatives of modern jurisprudence have repeatedly raised the issue of «Russia seeking its legal system » . When the USSR ceased to exist as a State, the problem of group identification of the Russian legal system has become even more complicated. However, it is worth considering whether the issue of the initial stage of the Russian legal system formation is in itself a right one ? Or should we focus on its development and less on its formation ? How old is this system ? Is it some decades old, or may be several hundred years old ? And what is it at the moment ? What are the paradigms of its evolution over the protracted historical period ? In the doctoral thesis below the answers to all these questions can be given through the prism of authentic approach of the author to the problems of conceptual and specific assessment of the legal system category

Full textAbstract:
The theme of this thesis concerns post-Soviet Russian foreign policy perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty between 1990 and 2008. In the thesis I argue that Russian perceptions became increasingly revanchist in nature during this period, and that we may distinguish between two different types of revanchism, the consequences of which for Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty are quite different. I argue that all Russian perceptions of international affairs are constituted by perceptions of Russia. Thus, perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty may be divided into three categories, or paradigms, each of which centres on a specific concept that legitimises the existence of Russia, and determines how Belarus and Ukraine are viewed. The three central concepts are the concepts of Law, Power, and Nation, respectively. In the introduction, I outline these paradigms, both in abstract terms and in relation to Russian foreign policy in general, as well as Russian foreign policy towards Belarus and Ukraine. Subsequently, I present my methodology and my literature review, together with a discussion of the theoretical assumptions, which provide the foundation for my argument. Then, I briefly outline Russian foreign policy making during the period relevant for my thesis, before the four main chapters of my thesis outline in roughly chronological fashion how the relative significance of the three paradigms has changed over time. Overall, I find that whereas the paradigm of Power has generally dominated perceptions, the paradigm of Law has gradually lost influence, whereas the influence of the paradigm of Nation has gradually increased. Since I define both the paradigm of Power and the paradigm of Nation as “revanchist,” I conclude that Russian perceptions of Belarusian and Ukrainian sovereignty between 1990 and 2008 gradually became more revanchist in nature.

Full textAbstract:
Ethnic relations are an important feature of contemporary Russia. This is especially true in the North Caucasus where ongoing insecurity combined with a depressed economy has led to growing Russian nationalism, xenophobia, and fears over immigration. In Stavropol’skii krai, the only ethnic Russian dominated territory in the North Caucasus Federal District, the situation is especially acute. In this thesis I investigate how the geopolitics of ethnic relations in Stavropol’skii krai, as part of the wider North Caucasus situation, impact on the everyday life of citizens in Stavropol’. I do this through employing an eclectic methodology, including both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Through four research papers, I explore how the built urban environment, through the politics of naming place (for example, street names and monuments), has become a space through which ethnic identity can be (re)produced and contested. I show how ethnic relations are (re)presented and performed in Stavropol’ through the Den’ kraya celebration, a performance that is based on a Soviet-era idealised framing of ethnic relations, and one which is open to challenge. I explore how in summer 2007 ethnic relations turned violent as ethnic Russian and non-ethnic Russian citizens rioted, and I attempt to explain the geopolitics surrounding this. Finally, I show how everyday ethnic relations have turned increasingly violent in Stavropol’ since 1991, drawing on reports from non-governmental organisations and independent researchers. I situate this research within the context of the changing ethnic geography of the krai since 1991. Together, this research represents a geopolitics of ethnic relations in Stavropol’skii krai.

A presente dissertação possui como objetivo principal a compreensão das motivações da Federação Russa na sua atuação na presente crise da Síria. O argumento central é que a Rússia no pós-Guerra Fria, especialmente após Vladimir Putin tornar-se o presidente da Federação, tem sua identidade alterada. Sendo assim, na relação entre a Rússia e o Ocidente o país redescobre no Ocidente o outro , e retoma algumas diretrizes de política externa um tanto quanto sovietizadas. Nesse âmbito, o constante bloqueio de ações ocidentais na atual crise da Síria, não possui raízes apenas de cunho estratégico material. Portanto, a presente pesquisa propõe que a crise Síria e sua interconexão histórica com a antiga URSS e a Rússia contemporânea não se constituem enquanto o principal objeto da política externa russa nesse momento. O intento principal da pesquisa é evidenciar o caráter obscurecido da atuação russa na Síria, durante a crise atual. Pretende-se demonstrar que a atuação russa neste cenário está mais ligada à sua relação com o Ocidente, sua busca por ser uma grande potência, e sua tentativa de reocupar o lugar da URSS, em alguma medida, do que, a priori, com a Síria em si. Para trazer significado teórico à pesquisa, serão operacionalizados conceitos de identidade, interesses nacionais e análise discursiva.
The present dissertation has as its main goal understanding the motivation of the Russian Federation in the current Syrian crisis. The central argument is that Russia in the post-Cold War, especially after Vladimir Putin became President of the Federation, change its identity. In this way, in the relation between Russia and the West the country is rediscovering the West as the other , and has retained some Soviet-inspired foreign policy guidelines. In this context, the continuing blockade of Western actions in the current crisis in Syria has roots that are not only of a material strategic nature. This thesis proposes that the Syrian crisis and its historical interconnection with the former USSR and contemporary Russia do not constitute the primary object of Russian foreign policy at this time. The main purpose of the research is to show the obscured character the Russian action in Syria, during the current crisis. The next task is to demonstrate that Russian action in this scenario is more related to their relationship with the West, to its search to become a great power, and its attempt to reoccupy the place of the USSR, to some extent, than to Syria itself. To bring theoretical meaning to the research, will be operationalized concepts of identity, national interests and discursive analysis.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to study Russian soft security policy under Vladimir Putin and examines the basic soft security threats which Russia has encountered and how it fought against these threats in the post-Soviet era. Contrary to the mainstream literature suggesting that Russia has focused exclusively on hard security issues within its national security policies due to its historical background and geo-political factors, the thesis argues that Russia started to give more importance to soft security besides hard security in its national security policies since Putin&rsquos presidency. Among soft security challenges, Russia prioritizes especially terrorism, transnational organized crime and energy security. The thesis is composed of six chapters. The introductory first chapter is followed by the second chapter examining the role of soft security in Russian national security. The following three chapters discuss Russia&rsquo
s soft security challenges of terrorism, transnational organized crime and energy security respectively whereas the sixth chapter concludes the thesis.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to examine Russian foreign policy in the post-Soviet era and its evolution in terms of Russia&rsquos use of soft power in the post-Soviet space. Contrary to the views that consider Russia exclusively as a hard power, this thesis argues that Russia has started to develop its soft power capabilities and how to use its soft power effectively in the post-Soviet space, especially since the beginning of Vladimir Putin&rsquo
s second Presidential term in 2004. In this context, Russia pursues a proactive foreign policy particularly in the spheres of language and education, which are important elements of its soft power. The thesis is composed of three main chapters in addition to the introduction and conclusion chapters. The first main chapter discusses the evolution of the soft power concept in Russian foreign policy by analyzing the period of 1992-2008. The second chapter seeks to analyze the position of Russian language in the CIS countries as lingua franca. The last chapter examines the Russian education system and the attraction of its higher education institutes for students from the CIS countries.

Full textAbstract:
Since the Trump election, the subject of extra-territorial application of national law
– in particular U.S. law – has received considerable attention. This is so because the
U.S. administration increasingly uses this legal tool to enforce its foreign policy
interests. A legal area with a particularly strong reach of extra-territoriality is U.S.
export controls as this allows the U.S. to control foreign states’ business. A very
recent and vivid example is the Huawei trade ban by the U.S. The purpose of this
article is to show the (harsh) legal and economic effects, which the extra-territorial
application of U.S. export-related laws have on international trade.
The article will focus on the approach taken by the U.S. to impose its export controls
outside the U.S. It will analyze the legal framework of extra-territorial U.S. export
controls and explore to which extent the U.S. laws apply to foreign business, i.e.,
business outside the U.S. The article will define the cases in which foreign companies
are subject to U.S. export controls and therefore must comply with U.S. regulations.
It will show that the applicability of U.S. export controls to foreign companies and
their business is considerably broad. It rigorously controls the destiny of U.S. origin
products and components once they have been exported from U.S. territory and also
regulates the worldwide export of products that have been manufactured by using
U.S. technology. In addition, U.S. export controls impose economic sanctions on
countries (e.g., Iran) or companies (e.g., Huawei) and prohibit foreign companies
from doing business with these sanctioned parties.
Understanding U.S. export controls and its extra-territorial reach are a challenge for
foreign companies. It is a rather complex legal system that requires deeper
knowledge of the underlying concept. However, foreign companies are well advised
to comply with U.S. export controls, as the penalties for violations can be severe,
including millions of dollars in fines and even imprisonment. In addition, the U.S.
may blacklist foreign companies with the effect that business with the U.S. or
elsewhere is no longer possible. Therefore, understanding U.S. export controls and
its extra-territorial reach is vital to foreign companies.

Full textAbstract:
The weakness of civil society in post-Soviet Russia has been widely discussed and is generally attributed to combinations of historical and cultural factors and authoritarian repression. This thesis adopts a conceptualization of civil society, drawn in part from social movement theory, which emphasizes the nature of interaction between citizens and the state. A series of three case studies traces the genesis and development of civic organizations and protest movements in Russia, involving human, housing and property rights, in order to discern how Russian citizens perceive their relationship with the state and form (or do not form) strategies for collective action. In the first case, the NGO Public Verdict finds success in defending individual citizens from law enforcement abuses but is incapable of affecting systemic change. In the second case, local protests over housing-related issues evolve into sustained movements but are unable to coalesce in the face of a state that prefers ad hoc policymaking. And lastly, spontaneous protests over proposed limits on the import of used cars from Japan grow into one of Russia's only sustained grass-roots social movements, capable of forcing the state into concessions and gaining a seat at the policy table. These studies are analyzed in the context of the political economy of Russia during the presidency of Vladimir Putin, during which the elite consolidated authoritarian rule while disengaging from the public and public policymaking. The difficulties Russians face in mobilizing, then, are seen as stemming from the privatization of power and the highly individualized nature of state-society relations. But when the state departs from its disengagement and acts in a way that allows Russian citizens to generate and maintain a perception of themselves as an aggrieved group, the latter prove capable of mounting and sustaining an organized response in defense of their rights and interests.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the role nineteenth-century women's literary journals, specifically Ladies' Journal (1823--1833), played in the development of Russian literature. The longest-lived and most-circulated of the pre-Soviet women's literary journals, Ladies' Journal was well-positioned to have contributed to the on-going formation of a national literature through its influence on the Russian woman writer and reader. Ladies' Journal served as a forum for new Russian women writers and translators. It also promoted the discussion of women's issues. However, Ladies' Journal had a contradictory editorial policy concerning women and literature. While advocating women stake their own ground as writers, Ladies' Journal modeled the type of writer it wanted. The ideal writer was the inspiration of male poets and did not differ from the Romantic heroine or the ideal Romantic woman. This was a gesture in the spirit of the time, but it had consequences for Russian literature and for the poetics and politics of Russian women's journals to come.

Chapaev, Roman. "Financing transactions in Russia." Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 2010. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/434.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis analyzes Russian laws of security and insolvency and reviews common legal issues arising in cross-border financing transactions. To aid better understanding of up-to-date Russian law, the analysis includes historical information. The thesis concludes that Russian law traditionally did not adopt a regime favorable to lenders and that the law of security was inefficient. In addition, commercial practice suffered from the inflexible approach of courts to innovations. Statutory law was not appropriate for commercial, as opposed to retail, transactions. This situation may be partially attributed to the recent transition from planned to market economy and, hence, relatively short history of modern Russian law. The thesis highlights recent Russian legal reforms and their impact on lending practices. At the thesis shows, the respective changes provided more comfort and protection to the lenders and increased certainty in business transactions. In this way laws of security and insolvency were elevated to new levels and this demonstrated the changing approach of legislators and courts. This originality of this work is in that it combines the study of the original Russian sources of law with the perspective of financial transactions in the international markets. It also includes a comparative element: where appropriate rules of Russian law are contrasted with their counterparts in English law. Furthermore, Russian security and insolvency laws are often reviewed through the prism of their practical application and effect on lending practices. Thus, the link between law and economy is also exposed.

Diplomová práce “Hrdinové nové Rusi: Analýza archetypů postav v díle Alexeje Balabanova“ představuje život a dílo jednoho z nejpozoruhodnějších režisérů nové ruské kinematografie Alexeje Balabanova. Užitím kvalitativní obsahové analýzy pojednává o všech jeho celovečerních filmech, jak těch dokončených, tak i těch nedokončených, a soustředí se na archetypy hrdinů, které režisér/scenárista Balabanov ve svých dílech soustavně využívá. Kromě toho práce rovněž popisuje, jak se tyto archetypy v průběhu času měnily, stejně tak jako se Ruská federace měnila po pádu Sovětského svazu a jak Balabanov sám tyto změny vnímal, ať už ve svém životě či ve svém díle. Zjištěné poznatky práce dále zasazuje do širšího kontextu postaveného na národních, historických a kulturních aspektech tak, aby poskytla pro čistě subjektivní přístup slavného režiséra také ryze objektivní rámec.

Full textAbstract:
By exploring the relationship between rituals and human behavior in relationship to architectural design the project "A Sense of Russia" searches for answers to new ways of sharing and experiencing culture over national boundaries, creating a stronger and clearer insight by physically engaging the visitor to be part of the other and the yet unknown. Using Russia and the program of the traditional Russian steam bath banya as a set framework, the project aims to address the subject through the implementation of one architectural incision. Questioning what place and shape a fragment of Russia would take in a non-Russian context like Sweden. By going through the different layers of human physical and mental interpretation, a patchwork of sorts, engaging in phenomenological and sociological ideas, this thesis explores how culture could be experienced through architectural design. Through the process of digging, casting and carving the project results in a proposal at the site of The Russian Yard located in Slussen, Stockholm. While unravelling the historical layers on site the proposal aims to offer new impressions and make the visitor behave in new patterns through unexpected scenarios. Trying to make Sweden see, hear, feel and maybe even make a little sense of Russia.

Full textAbstract:
The uniqueness of 2012 Presidential election campaign lies in some new trends: for the first time Internet played such an important role in influencing voters. It's not just about traditional official websites of the candidates, but first and foremost about campaigning in blogs and social networks. The opposition, including "off-system" one (which is advocating the overthrow of the ruling elite), was much more active in this field. The Internet space became the scene of this conflict, and we should expect that it would only escalate in the future.

McKenna, Ruth Suzanne. "Russia in media and popular discourse : the impact on Russian migrants living in Scotland." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2018. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/30984/.
Full textAbstract:
Russian people living in Scotland – and the UK more broadly – are exposed to a political climate where Russian domestic and foreign policy is the subject of intense media scrutiny and, often, criticism. This thesis explores the intersection between UK and Scottish media discourse on Russia and Russian people, Scottish public attitudes towards Russia and Russian people, and the everyday lives of Russian migrants living in Scotland. The thesis is based upon data gathered from a critical discourse analysis of 1200 Scottish and UK newspaper articles, two surveys carried out with approximately 400 Scottish and 100 Russian respondents, and interviews conducted with 24 Scottish and 21 Russian participants. The thesis argues that Russia is ‘othered’ in UK and Scottish media discourse, frequently associated with negative characteristics such as aggression and dishonesty. Through such discursive strategies, Russia is portrayed as fundamentally different from the UK, Europe and the West. While identifying some positive media engagement with Russian culture and travel, I highlight the way in which such coverage often relies upon exoticised and orientalised tropes. My findings show that there is limited press engagement with Russian people, other than President Vladimir Putin. I demonstrate that Putin has become intrinsic to contemporary imaginings of Russia, often represented as ‘Russia personified’. Ultimately, I suggest that the way in which Russian and Russian people are represented in media discourse reflects contemporary and historical power dynamics between the UK and Russia. The thesis explores how these findings intersect with Scottish participants’ attitudes towards Russia and Russian people, analysing the way in which interviewees articulated and differentiated Russian, Scottish or British, and Western identities. Throughout my discussion of both popular and media perspectives, I stress the ongoing significance of the Soviet legacy upon perceptions of contemporary Russia. I suggest that there is a complex relationship between media discourse on Russia and popular attitudes towards the country, arguing that, while Scottish participants often challenged the ideas about Russia put forward in the press, they nevertheless reproduced dominant discourses. The thesis explores this process of challenging, but nonetheless internalising, dominant media narratives. Finally, I examine how media and popular representations of Russia affect the lived experiences of Russian migrants in Scotland. I suggest that representations of Russia can have a stigmatising effect, creating ontological and social insecurities for Russian people. I suggest that such vulnerabilities often result from day-to-day encounters in seemingly banal settings, such as on public transport or in the pub. However, I emphasise the complexity of the way in which Russian participants responded to public attitudes, exploring times when they felt stereotyped, cases when interviewees were misrecognised as Polish migrants and, finally, drawing attention to positive experiences. Finally, I stress the ways in which close and trusting relationships, as well as managing media consumption, can play a key role in coping with and mitigating everyday experiences of vulnerability. The thesis makes several original contributions to knowledge. I build upon a small, but growing, body of work on the representation of Russia in contemporary media discourse. My focus on the UK and Scottish media environment, as well as the use of critical discourse analysis to critique media sources, differentiates the thesis from existing work within the field. Further, I add a contemporary perspective to existing literature on British representations of Russia, most of which has focused on receptiveness to Russian culture, particularly during the Tsarist and early Soviet periods. My use of empirical – rather than archival or secondary – data further distinguishes the thesis, with this research offering the first detailed and critical account of British popular perceptions of Russia. More broadly, I offer a bottom-up perspective into the ways in which Western (and Eastern) identities are represented and utilised on an everyday basis. The emphasis upon the stigmatising effect of media and popular attitudes towards Russia upon Russian migrants living in Scotland is also distinctive, as well as my exploration of the social and ontological vulnerabilities such stigmatising experiences can create.

Full textAbstract:
Obiettivo:
Questa tesi analizza il ruolo che il Partito ha avuto nella storia dell’Unione Sovietica e, successivamente, della Federazione Russa. In particolare viene esaminato in che modo i grandi leader a capo di esso hanno contribuito con le loro radici, credenze e speranze alla nascita, costruzione e distruzione del Partito stesso e del Paese.
Metodo:
Attraverso la lettura di testi in lingua italiana, inglese e russa si ripercorre la storia del Partito dalla sua fioritura con Vladimir Il’ič Ul’janov detto Lenin fino alla guida sotto Vladimir Vladimirovič Putin. Il lavoro è suddiviso in due fasi: la prima prende in considerazione la Russia nel suo periodo sovietico, la seconda inizia con la dissoluzione dell’Urss e giunge fino ai giorni nostri. Ad ogni personalità è dedicato un capitolo della tesi nel quale viene inizialmente disegnato un quadro storico riguardante il contesto sociale del momento e il percorso che ha portato alla salita al potere della figura politica per vedere poi in modo più dettagliato gli elementi che caratterizzano il determinato periodo di dominio. Di ogni leader si mettono in luce le radici di pensiero, le influenze storiche, le convinzioni, i progetti per il futuro e gli elementi caratterizzanti, sia positivi che negativi. Vengono individuate anche le differenze sostanziali e i punti in comune che sono emersi dal confronto dei capi del Partito tra di loro.
Conclusioni:
Con questo lavoro ho voluto analizzare come il Partito sia stato il protagonista assoluto non di uno ma ben due capitoli di storia della Russia, quello sovietico e quello contemporaneo. Nonostante le diverse personalità che si sono poste alla sua guida, i radicali cambiamenti che gli sono stati imposti e le sfide che ha dovuto affrontare, il Partito è sempre stato l’elemento al quale i grandi politici si sono aggrappati ed affidati per superare le difficoltà sociali, economiche e storiche che questo immenso e meraviglioso Paese ha incontrato. Nel corso degli anni il Partito è stato, tra alti e bassi, perdite e conquiste, momenti di luce e momenti bui, il punto fermo ma, soprattutto il punto di forza della Russia: il suo cuore pulsante.

Full textAbstract:
Victor Hugo fait partie des écrivains étrangers les plus publiés et les plus lus en URSS. Ce travail revient sur la diffusion et la réception de ses œuvres en Russie, en URSS et en Russie postsoviétique, et notamment sur l’entrée de l’écrivain dans le panthéon littéraire russe puis soviétique des écrivains étrangers, qui permet une large diffusion de ses œuvres.La méthodologie s’inspire de celle adoptée dans l’étude des transferts culturels (M. Espagne) et place au centre de l’attention les processus d’appropriation par la culture d’accueil. On s’intéresse à la création, à travers les traductions, de ce qu’on peut décrire comme l’« œuvre russe » de Victor Hugo ainsi qu’à la formation d’une figure de l’auteur. Alors que les travaux soviétiques affirment que les œuvres de Victor Hugo sont poursuivies par la censure avant la révolution de 1917 malgré l’intérêt des grands écrivains et penseurs russes, puis mises en avant à la période soviétique, on s’aperçoit que Victor Hugo entre dans le panthéon littéraire russe dès le tournant des XIXe et XXe siècle et ne fait que consolider sa place après la Révolution. La réinterprétation de l’œuvre et de la figure de l’auteur à la période soviétique est bien plus superficielle qu’il n’y paraît au premier abordVictor Hugo was one of the most published and well-known foreign writers in USSR. We will analyse the dissimination and the reception of his works in Russia, USSR and post-soviet Russia. We will pay a special attention to the way Victor Hugo joined the Russian (and then the Soviet) literary pantheon of foreign writers, which made it possible for his works to be widely published.Our methodology is based on the one proposed in the cultural transfers studies (M. Espagne). Thus, we will focus on the process of inclusion of Victor Hugo in the Russian/Soviet culture. The translations, especially the most published ones, came to form what can be described as Victor Hugo’s “Russians works”. The Russian image of Victor Hugo created by translations and critical works also differs from the French one.Soviet works on Victor Hugo in Russia state that Hugo’s works were censored until the Revolution in 1917, although Russian writers showed interest for them, and that they began to be widely published only after 1917. However, Victor Hugo joined the Russian literary pantheon as early as the turn of the 20th century, consolidating his place after the Revolution. In Soviet times Victor Hugo and his works underwent a process of reinterpretation that might seem cardinal at first sight, but occurs to be quite superficial indeed
