Associate Professor Dr. Richard Arnold has published an article on far-right Leader Dmitry Demushkin who was arrested on October 21. Arnold is a frequent contributor to the Jamestown Foundation’s Eurasian Daily Monitor, an electronic publication.
Dr. Arnold presented at an international conference in Tallinn, Estonia on Russian nationalism organized by the Peace Research Institute Oslo in Spring 2016. Dr. Arnold’s paper concerned Cossack movements in the Russian Federation.
Dr. Arnold’s book, “Russian Nationalism and Ethnic Violence: Symbolic Violence, Lynching, Pogrom, and Massacre,” was published by Routledge. The book concerns neo-Nazi hate crimes in Russia and includes chapters on Cossacks and race riots in Russia.
