Ethnic Identification in the Former Soviet Union: Hypotheses and Analyses

Enzo Loner and Pierangelo Peri

Europe-Asia Studies, 2009, vol. 61, issue 8, 1341-1370

Abstract: The article seeks to ‘measure’ the concept of ‘identification as titular’ in regard to the members of five ethnic groups in the former Soviet Union (Bashkirs, Karels, Komis, Tatars and Yakuts) and the factors which strengthen, or conversely weaken, such identification. In order to do this it uses multigroup confirmatory factor analysis and multigroup structural equation modelling. Identification is mainly associated with a sense of national superiority and duration of residence in the home republic. The pattern among Yakuts, however, differs from that of the other ethnic groups and would require further detailed analysis.
