РОСІЙСЬКИЙ НАЦІОНАЛІЗМ ПОЧАТКУ ХХ ст. НА ПРАВОБЕРЕЖЖІ В КОНТЕКСТІ ВИБОРІВ ДО ДЕРЖАВНОЇ ДУМИ
Abstract
The article brings up a topic of electoral processes in Right-bank Ukraine in the period between the Revolution of 1905, when the State Duma was established, and the beginning of World War I in 1914. During this time existed very limited, but nevertheless legal, opportunities for political representation of different national groups from left to right political specter. A considerable success at the elections won Russian nationalists, particularly those of moderate right-wing views. This success resulted from a certain level of institutional support, participation of Orthodox clergy in the mobilization of voters, the use of powerful media tools, etc. Russian nationalists developed a wide publication work aimed at spreading the idea that Russian nationalism is the nationalism of the majority of population in the Southwest of the Empire, which is threatened by non-Russians (inorodcy).
