(Over)determining social disorder: Tajikistan and the economic collapse of perestroika / Scarborough, Isaac   Journal Article
Scarborough, Isaac Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article analyses the rise of social unrest in the Tajik SSR in 1990–1991 from the perspective of the republic’s place within the broader Soviet economy and the collapse of that economy over the course of perestroika (1985–1991). Countering standard narratives of glasnost, democratization and nationalism in Tajikistan, it demonstrates that a close reading of the historical record points to sharp economic downturn as the most plausible immediate cause of the social disorder that came to engulf the Tajik SSR in the final years of the USSR and led to the Tajik Civil War of the 1990s.

unwanted dependence: Chechen and Ingush deportees and the development of state–citizen relations in late-Stalinist Kazakhstan (1944–1953) / Scarborough, Isaac   Journal Article
Scarborough, Isaac Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Based on an analysis of the bureaucratic interactions between deported Chechen and Ingush ‘special settlers’ (spetspereselentsy) and local state institutions in late-Stalinist Kazakhstan (1944–1953), this article argues that the deportees’ acts of assimilation can be seen as representative of the contradictory dual relationship of victimization and dependence faced by the majority of Soviet citizens in one form or another during late Stalinism. Rather than an entirely peripheral and unusual case, moreover, this narrative of Chechen and Ingush assimilation in Kazakhstan may have important implications for the study of state–citizen relations throughout Central Asia and the whole of the USSR.
