Democrazia, sovranità nazionale e nazionalismo : tica e società civile nella Russia tardo sovietica7-1991)

The article examines the social transformations and the formation of political cultures in the Russian public sphere during the late Soviet period. Between 1987 and 1991, several new political organisations emerged with the objective of transformingt Russia into a sovereign and democratic state. Concurrently, nationalist platforms emerged with the objective of promoting the resurgence of Russia. Despite the ephemeral nature of these organisations, the debates that arose during this period between democratic and nationalist groups, which were often difficult to distinguish, established the cultural framework within which the political trajectories and intellectual paths of post-Soviet Russia would developed in the following decades.
