National identification of minority groups and exclusionism

The project focuses on the following questions:

1. To what extend are exclusionism and national identification related among Russian minorities in five former Soviet Countries and different from that of the indigenous populations?
2. Implies national identification of Russians an identification with the Russian Federation?
3. Which social categories of Russians are most exclusionistic and have the strongest national identification?
4. Do beliefs among the indigenous population that Russian may act as a Russian 'fifth column' affect the exclusionism and national identification of  Russians?
5. To what extend do the five countries differ in exclusionism and national identification of Russians?
