United with the Group?: Identification of Russian Migrants and Their Political Attitudes and Behaviour

• In Event: Socialisation and Political Attitudes: Russians after February 2022

Abstract

This study draws on a recent large-scale data from more than 4,000 Russian migrants collected in the summer of 2023 in five countries. The paper explores the solidarity among new Russian communities as well as the solidarity with Russians left behind. It elaborates on the political and social implications of different senses of belonging to Russia or other groups, highlighting the role of horizontal solidarity for migrant self-organisation under extreme circumstances.
