Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: This study investigates the construction of Russian national identity in the post-Soviet era. This social engineering, according to Social Identity Theory, necessitates the identification of an essentialized "other" and for ethnic Russians the indigenous Muslims, particularly those from the Caucasus, provided a historical and familiar “them”. The 1990's have witnessed internecine conflict between Russians and Muslims along the periphery and I argue that as levels of hostility between individuals whose most salient identity marker associated them with the Russian or Orthodox "we" and those who identify with the Muslim "we" increased, so too did the mutual elite efforts to congeal the binary relationship between Self and Other and therefore increase the distance between the two divergent conceptualizations of group affiliation. Conversely, under conditions of relative societal harmony the levels of elite and public distancing should decrease. In this research I conduct a detailed case study exploring the robust literature on identity formation from a political and psychological approach, chronicle Russian and Muslim relations during the Twentieth Century, and utilize opinion surveys and media analysis to ascertain the direction of inter-group animosities.
