This seminar will explore two interrelated phenomena. First, do social movement dynamics operate the same way in non-democratic contexts as in democratic contexts? Second, can the same methods developed in Western liberal democracies for studying social movements be applied to non-democratic settings? This talk focuses on southern Russia for a number of reasons.
Another reason is that post-Soviet social movements have remained heavily understudied in the West. The talk focuses on the environmental movement in Krasnodar Krai and the ethno-national Balkar movement in Kabardino-Balkaria for the period between 2000 to the present.
