Russian nationalist movements

Russian nationalist movements advocate for promoting Russian culture, identity, and interests, often emphasizing sovereignty and territorial integrity. They may focus on celebrating Russia’s history, language, and traditions, sometimes opposing foreign influence or minority groups they see as a threat to national unity. These movements can range from cultural organizations to political groups advocating policies that prioritize Russian dominance domestically and abroad. While some promote cultural pride and patriotism, others have been associated with exclusivist or xenophobic sentiments. Overall, they reflect a desire to strengthen Russia’s national identity in response to global and domestic changes.
