FIIA researchers analyse “foreign agent” in Russian discourses

"Foreign Agent" as an internal representative of "the West" in Russia’s geopolitical discourses

Routledge

Veera Laine, Kristiina Silvan

FIIA Research Fellows’ Veera Laine’s and Kristiina Silvan’s book chapter analyses the Russian discourses on “foreign agents” from a critical geopolitical perspective. Their article was published in a new book titled Remapping Security on Europe’s Northern Borders edited by Jussi P. Laine, Ilkka Liikanen and James W. Scott. Laine and Silvan demonstrate that the legislation on“foreign agents” remains an important marker in Russia’s security relations with the West.
