nation, national state, Russian Federation, Russian Empire, constructivism, instrumentalism, postcolonial discourseAbstract
The purpose of the article is to analyze the conceptualization of the development of the nation and national state in Russia in modern research. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a constructivist approach to understanding the nation and the national state. In addition, due to the fact that the imperial past is of decisive importance for the development of national statehood, the article uses the actual results of research on empires and works carried out within the framework of postcolonial discourse.
It is assumed that the process of the national-state development of historical Russia is not completed, in connection with which it is characterized as a disintegrated narrative. The Russian Empire was implementing a nation-building project - the creation of a large Russian nation, in the article this process is considered from the point of view of constructivism. On the other hand, the article analyzes the position presented in the framework of the postcolonial discourse, according to which the state-national development of Russia is a process of internal colonization (A. Etkind). The heuristic potential and the problematic nature of the consideration of domestic nation-building and Russian statehood in postcolonial discourse are examined.
The conclusion summarizes the results of the study. The author points out the inadequacy of the theoretical basis for the modern national development of Russia. In addition, it is necessary to further study the ways to consolidate the socio-political center of Russian society on the basis of the historical and cultural heritage.
