Rossiian

"A new RNU [Russian National Unity] program has been adopted which at first glance appears to be more modest. It does not insist on «ethnic-proportional representation» and refrains from explicit antisemitism. However, it still sees future Russia as a state of «ethnic Russians and Rossiians». By definition the Jews are excluded (98)."

"The principle question that must be asked is what we expect to record in the census: a certain nomenclature “of nationalities, national or ethnographic groups” (as this question has now been put in the census question) or the presence among citizens of Rossiia (or the Rossiian people) of various forms of ethno-cultural identity that are often multiple and not mutually exclusive?"
