– The authors of this anthology report on what it was like to travel and do field research on the periphery of the Soviet Empire and the political processes that they witnessed. The authors are political scientist Ib Faurby, cultural geographer Lars Funch Hansen, researcher on minority issues Helen Krag, slavicist Märta-Lisa Magnusson, historian and Iranologist Søren Theisen and general linguist Karina Vamling. Since this period they have all closely followed the develop-ment in the Caucasus region in struggles for independence, wars and ethno-political conflicts.
– The contributions to the anthology are based on material collected during travel and fieldwork in both the South and North Caucasus. In their contributions the authors write about the new movements for independence in the Caucasus and increasing tensions with Moscow, how the Soviet structures at different levels were breaking down and the national cultures became increasingly important. They describe how premodern traditions still play a role, despite Soviet modernization, account for specific cultural features and similarities and also witness deepening ethnic antagonism. Though being a peripheral region of the USSR, the Caucasus played an important role in the gradual disintegration of the union and its collapse in December 1991.
— The contributions are written in Swedish and Danish and are illustrated with original photos taken by the authors during their travel and fieldwork in the South and North Caucasus. In the opening contribution Märta-Lisa Magnusson, based on impressions from Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia at the end of the 1980s, puts the question “The Soviet people, did it exist?”. In his chapter, Ib Faurby adopts a global as well as local perspective: The disintegration of an Empire in a perspective from below. The following chapter by Karina Vamling focuses on the role of language and identity in Georgia: Four years that changed the identity of Georgia. Søren Theisen travelled extensively in Armenia and writes about the Soviet legacy and pre-Soviet traditions in A Little Trip Down Memory Lane. Travels in Armenia before and shortly after the break-up of the Soviet Union. Lars Funch Hansen shares his impressions from Spitak, the Armenian town that was severely hit by an earthquake in 1988: When the mountains wept. Spitak, December 1989. A photo story from a field visit in snow and ice in Armenia on the 1 year anniversary of the earthquake in 1988. In her chapter Forget it if you can Helen Krag approaches silenced aspects of minority issues in the Caucasus. Lars Funch Hansen continues the topic of conflicts in the North Caucasus and focuses on the Prigorodnyj district and the conflict between North Ossetia and Ingushetia: “He is a conflictologist”. Field research in North Caucasus at the time of the break-up of the Soviet Union. In the last chapter How I conquered the North Caucasian stronghold Majkop Karina Vamling illustrates challenges of doing field work in the Soviet period in her research on the structure and status of the Northwest Caucasian Circassian language.

'Power or principles? Russia's intervention in Ukraine. Lessons from the Caucasus.'
Guest lecture at Malmoe Association of Foreign Affairs at Malmoe University, 23 April 2014

Russia strongly disapproved of Kosovo’s declaration of independence from Serbia in February 2008 and western governments’ recognition of Kosova. Shortly after, in August 2008, Russia intervened militarily in Georgia and recognized two of Georgia’s separatist regions, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, as independent states. Recently Russia annexed Ukraine’s predominantly ethnic Russian region Crimea, after the region, with Russian assistance, held a referendum in favor of joining the Russian Federation.
Russia’s response to Kosovo’s independence and Russia’s interventions in Georgia and Ukraine may be interpreted in different ways. One might be from an international norms perspective: Russia is acting in defense of international law and norms. On the one hand a norm that has been prevailing in the last decades in the international society: respect of the territorial integrity of states, and, following from this principle, the inviolability of borders and non-interference in the internal affairs of states. On the other hand a norm that has been less prominent but obtained new significance with the partial international recognition of Kosovo: the principle of people’s right to self-determination.
Another possible interpretation, however, might be made from a more ‘realistic’ perspective. In this interpretation Russia uses discourses of international norms strategically, as rhetorical devises for pursuing her own interests.
In the lecture I shall argue for the second type of interpretation. This will be done by examining Russia’s behavior in the three separatist conflicts in post-Soviet South Caucasus (South Ossetia, Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh) and by examining how Russia has related to separatist claims inside Russia (Chechnya).
