The Search for Identity: Where Is Russia Heading?

Chapter 9 in Transition and Beyond, 2007, pp 191-213 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Individuals belonging to a country define their identity in terms of a cultural heritage and a shared history. Culture is an amalgam of influences originating in religion, language, art forms, and food. History for most consists of shifting political arrangements over time in which they may have been passive observers or active participants. Finally, people define their cultural and historical identity over a geographical area they call their country or their nation. Without this space, they would be homeless.2
