RIPSS Reading Circle: Anna Whittington on Ethnic Russians and the Unmaking of the USSR

The RIPSS Reading Circle is a space for graduate students and early career scholars to critically discuss new and innovative scholarship on Soviet, Central and East European, Baltic, Caucasian and Central Asian history with a focus on decolonising methodologies and non-Russian experiences of the Soviet era. It also provides a forum for presenting and receiving feedback on research-in-progress.
In this session, we will be discussing this article:
Anna Whittington, “Contested Privilege: Ethnic Russians and the Unmaking of the Soviet Union,” Journal of Modern History 95 (4) (2023): 887–927.
Participants may also wish to read an accompanying article for thinking about how Whittington's methodology informs her practice and how that corresponds to the perspectives and approaches to archival research, including the approaches of decolonising the field:
