| Abstract [eng] |
The chapter describes the ways some members of the ethnically mixed Russian-speaking community in Visaginas, Lithuania, view their relationship with the Lithuanian state. The data comes from qualitative fieldwork conducted in Visaginas at the end of 2011 – first half of 2012. The author presents in-depth analysis of a few selected stories. The author argues that socioeconomic insecurity and uncertainty as well as feelings of ambiguity about civic and national belonging shape informants’ perceptions of the citizenship and attachments to the Lithuanian political community. |
