This doctoral project analysed nationalist attitudes among Russian officers in relation to identity-related circumstances that have changed with the dissolution of the USSR: the state has a different political system, new (narrower) borders, a new (lower) international status and an altered (more homogenous) ethnic composition. The project was supervised by Pål Kolstø and Pavel Baev. The Dr. Philos. dissertation was submitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Oslo and defended in April 2002.
