- Drawing on home based semi-ethnographic interviews this research explores the ways in which both Russian identity and the feeling of belonging to a homeland are created and maintained. The concepts of diasporic homes and diasporic objects have been utilised to highlight different ways in which the feeling of home and belonging to a community can be experienced and maintained. Pechurina shows how practices of homemaking and the changing meanings of domestic objects reveal ambivalent nature of migrants’ attitudes and relationships with both receiving and host countries.
