Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The hardening of internal borders and the new delimitation of territory that accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union led to a migration of tens of millions of people. The majority of this movement involved members of titular ethnic groups returning to their eponymous republics, such as Estonians returning to Estonia. This paper examines the Russian speaking diaspora's divergent levels of repatriation from the fourteen Soviet successor states where it formed a significant minority between 1991 and 2000. We believe that a theoretical framework of relative deprivation explains the divergent levels of migration in what may be thought of as a longitudinal natural experiment. Using data from the Minorities at Risk (MAR) project, and Russian immigration statistics, a variety of economic, socio-cultural and political explanations for migration in the region are tested in a longitudinal regression model.

Do economic, political and cultural differentials between different ethnic groups in a country cause protest, rebellion and communal conflict along ethnic lines?
