Introduction
My current research focuses on the rules of non/belonging in the late Soviet Union with a particular interest in how kul'turnost' shaped intersubjective relationships and (imperial) situations in different multiethnic and social contexts.

Coming from the Near East, Europe, and North America, these repatriates had to deal with the harsh postwar conditions, inscrutable social rules, and the negative reception of their Soviet "brothers." About...
In recent years, historiography has seen fundamental reassessments of Soviet postwar reconstruction, social mobilization as well as bureaucratic and middle class cultures. Yet, the character of Late Stalinism on the Soviet national periphery has been rarely addressed beyond the Sovietisation of the 'new' borderlands in the Baltics and Western Ukrai...
Whether the Soviet Union was an empire, how it should be characterized, and to what extent it is comparable to its Western counterparts has been subject to discussion over the last 15 years.1 Interestingly, most contributions to this debate choose Moscow as a point of departure. While referring to studies on Western empires, inquiries into the Sovi...
