    Il nation-building in Russia: una strategia orientata sui valori
    in Nazioni e Regioni , n. 3 ,  2014 ,  43-70
    Originally published in 2004 as an introduction to the volume Nation-Building and Common Values in Russia, edited by the author himself, this essay analyzes how in the early years of Putin’s presidency the Russian Federation continued towards the construction of a civic, all-Russian national identity along the path traced by Yeltsin, but it also tried a new approach (characterized by internal tensions and contradictions) which centred all-Russian nation-building on some common values allegedly shared by all Russian citizens, some of which were deemed «universal», while some others were described as «Russian». On the basis of a survey carried out in some particularly representative regions of Russia, the essay analyzes the preconditions and the unfolding of this nation-building process, focusing on the complex interactions among state-centred and regional nation building, state-building and ethnic consolidation, taking into account not only the elites’ attitudes, but also the masses’ responses.
