Короткий опис(реферат):
This article is dedicated to the Novorossiyan political myth among the populations
of Southeastern Ukraine, Transnistria, Abkhazia, and South Ossetia. The author
analyzes this myth in terms of the peculiar transnationalism and political imagination that led to the formation of a utopian alternative to the existing East European
order. The author argues that the Novorossiyan myth is the separatists' response to
the needs and demands of groups that feel excluded from post-Soviet title nations.
Also, the myth is a response to needs and demands of the populations of unrecognized states—the "invisible nations" that are now seeking a new "international order".
