Oksana Alekseev

I studied Political Science and History at the University of Greifswald. I am particularly interested in the formation of political attitudes and identities. Since April 2024, I have been a member of the IRTG “Baltic Peripeties”. In my dissertation project, I am examining identity narratives of the Russian minority in Estonia using a person-centred empirical approach.

Narratives of Identity. Generational Differences among the Russian Minority in Estonia

In my PhD project, I study identity narratives of the Russian minority in Estonia and examine how various socialization experiences and historical events contribute to differences in the perception of identity narratives. In this context, my focus is on the causes of possible generational differences. In particular, I concentrate on Russian narratives of the Russian identity and the Western liberal-democratic identity. I employ a person-centred empirical mixed-method approach to analyse how individuals belonging to the Russian minority in Estonia navigate these narratives.
