Abstract

Russia’s republics – 22 regions in the larger federation that are territorially defined and represent areas where non-Russian ethnic populations are concentrated – have been generally quiescent during the two decades of Vladimir Putin’s leadership. However, in 2019 Kalmykia was the site of protests against leadership changes in which locals had scant political voice. This paper focuses on the demonstrations in Kalmykia and provides a detailed account of the associated causes, motivations, and outcomes. The protests augur an increased awareness of the double marginalization of Russia’s minority groups, both politically and on the basis of nationality, in the country’s governance. This condition has notable implications given Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine.

“埃利斯塔是我们的城市”:卡尔梅克2019年的抗议活动和俄罗斯共和国的政治

俄罗斯的共和国——大联邦中的22个地区，按领土划分，代表非俄罗斯族人口集中的地区——在弗拉基米尔•普京(Vladimir Putin)领导的20年里总体上是平静的。然而，2019年，卡尔梅克发生了反对领导层更迭的抗议活动，当地人几乎没有政治发言权。本文着重于卡尔梅克的示威活动，并提供了相关原因、动机和结果的详细说明。抗议活动预示着人们越来越意识到俄罗斯少数民族群体在政治上和国家治理中的双重边缘化。鉴于俄罗斯在乌克兰的持续战争，这种情况具有显著的影响。

期刊介绍： Caucasus Survey is a new peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and independent journal, concerned with the study of the Caucasus – the independent republics of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia, de facto entities in the area and the North Caucasian republics and regions of the Russian Federation. Also covered are issues relating to the Republic of Kalmykia, Crimea, the Cossacks, Nogays, and Caucasian diasporas. Caucasus Survey aims to advance an area studies tradition in the humanities and social sciences about and from the Caucasus, connecting this tradition with core disciplinary concerns in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, cultural and religious studies, economics, political geography and demography, security, war and peace studies, and social psychology. Research enhancing understanding of the region’s conflicts and relations between the Russian Federation and the Caucasus, internationally and domestically with regard to the North Caucasus, features high in our concerns.
