Roundtable Immigrants and Other Vulnerable Groups<\/strong><\/p>\n

Humaneness, non-violence, and avoidance of hatred were important messages of those who seemingly democratised Russia in 1991. In the years that followed, however, hatred, violence, and dehumanization were not countered by the society at large. Consequently, such ingredients of Russia\u2019s \u201cnegative identity\u201d as xenophobia and discrimination against refugees, ethnic minorities, and other minorities have become the \u201cglue\u201d holding Putin’s Russia together. The outcome has been sad. Russia set an anti-record in 2023: never before had it granted refugee status to such a small number of people. The situation with minority rights is no better.<\/p>\n

The panellists on this roundtable will discuss different aspects of these processes: Russia as a \u201ccountry of refuge,\u201d ethnic discrimination, and the situation faced by people in Chechnya and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Panellists:<\/strong>
\n\u25cf Svetlana Gannushkina<\/strong>, human rights activist, Civic Assistance Foundation,
\n\u201cThe Russian Federation as a country of refuge\u201d
\n\u25cf Stefania Kulaeva<\/strong>, human rights activist, Anti-Discrimination Centre “Memorial” (ADC Memorial),
\n\u201cThe experience of defending the rights of minorities and migrants: 30 years of fighting against racism\u201d
\n\u25cf Mairbek Vatchagaev<\/strong>, historian, researcher, and author,
\n\u201cProblems and successes in integrating Chechens in Western countries\u201d<\/p>\n

Moderator:<\/strong> Anne Le Roux, sociologist and lecturer<\/p>\n
