Ambiguous Inclusion examines how migrants and state officials in Primorskii krai \u2013 Russia\u2019s Far Eastern border with China and North Korea \u2013 draw on legacies of inclusion as migrants apply for Russian citizenship.\nThough many migrants from post-Soviet states obtain expedited citizenship due to shared language and Soviet ties, they often face exclusion in their everyday lives in Russia . Through ethnographic accounts, this book explores how Soviet ideals of internationalism and modern-day nationalism clash in everyday encounters between migrants and bureaucrats. Russia\u2019s citizenship policies frame inclusion around Russian language and multiethnic unity, yet in practice often reinforce hierarchies linked to ethnicity and whiteness, even as race remains officially unacknowledged.
