| Abstract |
Ethnic tension in post-USSR states is examined. Formed from many national republics in 1924, the USSR urged a policy of Russification and pursued strict management of ethnic conflict. When Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms in 1985 loosened constraints on national expression, ethnicism and nationalism reemerged as nationalities pushed for a redress of ethnic-based grievances. The disintegration of the USSR in 1991 into fifteen multiethnic nation-states did not dissipate ethnic tensions; each is beset by different ethnic problems and concerned with creating policies to address them. |
