London: Routledge.	2020	5	.pdf	application/pdf	2161	55	25	396–400 399 Part III – “Nationalism as political battlefield” – describes three main actors of political Russian nationalism in three generations: classic far-right groups; National Democrats supporting the European-inspired populist ethnonationalism; and the resurgent militia groups connected with the expansion of “Novorossiya”, as well as the actors’ ambivalent relationship with state powers due to the unclear legal definition of “extremism” and Kremlin’s intention to consider “everything related to Russian nationalism as a potential rival for legitimacy, and therefore as something it should bring ‘under control’” (p. 171). In her book, Marlene Laruelle – the Director and Research Professor at the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies (IERES) at the George Washington University (Washington, DC) – discusses the multilayered and multifaceted nature of Russian nationalism as (1) a way to imagine the nation, (2) the set of doctrines and ideologies, and (3) a political movement.	cache/csp-162.pdf	txt/csp-162.txt
