“…In fact, Nazarbayev's reluctance to quickly implement the Kazakhification policies he speaks of can be interpreted as a strategy of catering to minorities and containing both Kazakh and Russian nationalism (Danzer 2009(Danzer , 1559. In this way, Kazakhstan, like most other states, exhibits a "profound dualism" in its civic-ethnic nationalism balance (Ó Beacháin and Kevlihan 2013).…”

This paper is based on a study which compares repatriation policies of Germany, Russia, and Kazakhstan. The choice of cases is based on a “most similar case design.” The Russian case results in unsuccessful and unsustainable repatriation, the German case exhibits a change from sustainable repatriation to a slow termination of the program, while the case of Kazakhstan is one of sustainable and relatively successful repatriation. The main argument of the paper is that in order for a repatriation program to be sustainable, the program must contain both a practical component and an ideological component. If a repatriation program lacks ideological backing which permeates other aspects of political life in a state, then the repatriation program grinds to a halt. If a repatriation program has ideological backing, but is rendered impractical and does not meet the economic, demographic and labor market needs of a state, then the further development of the program stops. The findings of this study merit further reflection on issues of changing national identities, on transnational migration pathways, and on the “post-Soviet condition” which has set the stage for all of the aforementioned processes and transformations.

“…Those turns of history are not easily reconcilable per se. On the other hand, the emergence of new nation states, fifteen out of Soviet Union and seven out of Yugoslavia and the division of Czechoslovakia, dictated swift processes of 'national reconfiguration' (Danzer 2009) on these new state territories.…”

“…'disposable past' (Lisiak 2009), 'uncomfortable past' (Uskoković 2013), 'battles of symbols' (Harutyunyan 2008), 'war on monuments' (Burch and Smith 2007) and many other. Capturing the essence of this interplay, Danzer (2009Danzer ( :1562Danzer ( -1563) describes this process as a 'symbolic appropriation of space'. By destroying the socialist monuments, or leaving them to decay, the forces of the new political order were able to mark the end of the previous system and demonstrate the new priorities.…”

Analysis of the project "Skopje 2014", a major symbolic reconstruction of Macedonia capital, points towards establishment of ethnocratic regime in the country. Juxtaposed to the treatment of the socialist monuments it reveals the major shift in the historical narrative. This symbolic appropriation accompanies the neoliberal capitalist appropriation of space and is in its service by shifting the debate away from the capitalist accumulation by means of dispossession. The neglect of socialist monuments is indicative of grey-zoning, a governmentality

“…National and collective identities: contested representation, memory and history As widely observed and recently reiterated by Danzer (2009), the formulation of new national identities became a central concern of post-Soviet states and their satellites. A considerable body of scholarship has examined diverse dimensions of these 'national reconfigurations', albeit arguably with somewhat less attention to relationships between individual, collective and national identities, notions of personhood, and their diverse, fragmented aspects (although see Verdery 1996 andHumphrey 2002).…”
