The talk presents the key findings of the book by the same name published in 2024 by transcript publishers (in German). It examines the lifeworlds of people from the former USSR in a specific place, the city of Osnabrück, Germany. The focus of the analysis is on the reconstitution of community and the shaping of individual lives after emigration. In which local, translocal and transnational networks are they embedded? How do these people conceive of a “good life” in their new place? And what role does the experience of life in the former Soviet Union play in this? This ethnographic study thus offers an insight into the long-term course of migration processes of one of the largest migrant groups in Germany.
Nino Aivazishvili-Gehne holds a PhD in social anthropology and is a researcher at the Leibnitz Institute for East and Southeast European studies (IOS) in Regensburg. She has obtained her PhD degree from the University of the Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg and was simultaneously an associate Member at the Max-Planck-Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle. After working in the social and educational sector with refugees and migrant organizations and as a lecturer at the Ruhr University Bochum, she was a researcher at RECET from March 2021 to March 2024 as part of the research network “Ambivalences of the Soviet.” Her first book, Staatsbürgerschaft an der Grenze. Die georgischsprachigen Ingiloer in Aserbaidschan, was published by Reichert Verlag in 2023 (in German).
