Andreas Umland on the bibliography of modern Russian ultranationalism

On July 22, 2010, the Polit.Ru portal published an article Andreas Umland " The Current State of Russian Studies" ultranationalism ."   The author notes that, despite the fact that over the past two decades, a whole layer of research on modern Russian ultranationalism has developed (first of all, we are talking about historical or theoretical research, in difference, say, from monitoring activities and monitoring, collecting qualitative and empirical analysis carried out by SOVA and Panorama centers), these studies not only did not form into any single complex, indicating the existence of an academic discussion among the relevant researchers, but the works of some authors specializing in this subject are often unknown others and vice versa.     Today, as A. Umland notes, there are several news digests and bulletins devoted in one way or another to modern Russian ultranationalism (them "News Releases", "Reports and Analyzes", monitoring of the Center Sova, Bigotry Monitor, UCSJ News, etc.), a number of freely accessible websites on same topic, private LinkedIn group Researchers of Russian Nationalism, several journals that publish articles on the subject relatively frequently (“The emergency reserve”, “Questions of philosophy”, etc.).   However, no " no serious academic institutional bases, i.e. associations or research institutes, nor academic periodicals, i.e. specialized journal or yearbook, nor regular exchange forums opinions, i.e. permanent series of seminars or conferences " in order to one could speak of a "formed sub-discipline" studying this subject.   At present, an attempt has been made to combine significant academic publications on the topic and make them available to the public circle of readers. This is a project of the Eichstätt Center for the Study Central and Eastern Europe (ZIMOS, Upper Bavaria), which in 2009 began preparations for a four-volume collective project called "Anti-Western Ideological Currents in Post-Soviet Russia and Their Origins" in as part of its electronic journal "Forum of Recent Eastern European History and culture."   It is planned that “ by the estimated end of the project in 2011 most of the noteworthy articles on this topic will be published, firstly, in Russian, i.e. in "lingua franca" Russian studies, secondly, on the same platform, i.e. in several rooms "Forum", and, thirdly, is open for unhindered reading, i.e. For free copy in PDF format ".   The full version of the article (PDF format) can be found here .
