“…These expectations, as well as research emphasizing the importance of religion and nationalism for generating sustained support for authoritarian rule (e.g. Gill 2019;Kuzio 2016;Dukalskis and Lee 2020), form the starting point of our work. Also referred to as "diffuse" (Easton 1965b) and later as "affective" (Dalton 1999), normative support for the political system represents adherence to a particular set of values that the political system embodies.…”

“…At the same time, while studies recognize the importance of nationalism and religion for fuelling normative support for authoritarian rule (e.g. Kuzio 2016;Gill 2019;Dukalskis and Lee 2020;Koesel et al 2020), our understanding of the consequences of normative support, citizens' principled support for authoritarian regimes, remains limited. In this work, we ask whether, and how, support for the norms and principles of non-democratic regimes helps stabilize authoritarian rule.…”

Does citizen support for the norms and principles of non-democratic regimes help stabilize authoritarian rule? While a large literature recognizes that authoritarian regimes depend on popular support to lower the costs of staying in power, existing research mainly views mass support for non-democratic regimes as instrumental, fuelled by performance. We know relatively little about the effects of normative support for authoritarian rule. Using novel experimental evidence from well powered online surveys fielded in Turkey and observational data, we find high levels of normative support for the political system. Normative support is significantly more stable to an economic crisis treatment than instrumental support, especially among government voters. We also show that support for authoritarian rule mitigates the electoral consequences of poor economic performance. These findings, which revisit the importance of normative support for regime instability and resilience, have implications for research on mass opinion and defection cascades in electoral autocracies.

“…Национальная идентичность -одна из форм социальной идентичности, которая, согласно сторонникам либерального национализма, играет в современном обществе роль «клея», объединяющего культурно разнообразных людей и поощряющего рост доверия и солидарности (Gustavsson & Miller, 2019). Однако в то же самое время такие авторитарные государства, как Северная Корея (Dukalskis & Lee, 2020), Россия (Laruelle, 2009) и Китай (Weiss, 2020) нашли инструментальное применение для национализма как способа укрепления собственной легитимности и, соответственно, обеспечения устойчивости политического режима. Учитывая характер использования национализма в недемократических странах, можно ожидать, что националистические установки их жителей будут позитивно связаны с поддержкой политического режима.…”

Socio-Psychological Factors of Mass Support for Autocracies: Literature Review

Despite the fact that autocracies are frequently portrayed in art as states where all power belongs to a single person or a group of people, such states need mass political support. The latter signals that attempts at changing the status quo have little chances of success, lowers the probability of violent revolutions, and forms democratic legitimacy, while at the same time weakening the political role of civilian population. A significant share of studies on mass support of autocracies considers economic factors as key variables. Nevertheless, a number of papers point out that such states could be rather resilient to economic shocks. Social psychology has a number of approaches that could offer additional explanations of dynamics of political support in autocracies. This article attempts to systematize results of publications that maintain the significance of these theories. Potential explanatory models include social identity theory, value theories of Inglehart-Welzel and Schwartz as well as Big Five personality traits and emotions in politics.

“…Корни изучения повседневного национализма как подполя национализма восходят к попыткам М. Биллига (Billig, 1995) переключить внимание исследователей с традиционной озабоченности возникновением феноменов наций и национализма к воспроизводству национализма в повседневной жизни и массовой культуре (McGlynn, 2020(McGlynn, , p. 1069(McGlynn, -1085Edensor, 2002). Тем не менее упор на нисходящие подходы к построению нации привел к различию между исследованиями «банального национализма» и анализом повседневных национализмов, когда люди потребляют и воссоздают национализм снизу вверх (Antonsich, 2016;Skey, 2011). Э. Нотт дает подробный обзор превращения повседневного национализма в подполе, которое фокусируется на простых людях и их посредничестве в воспроизведении националистических символов (Knott, 2015).…”

Introduction: the article focuses on how everyday practices are used by the state to project the image of a Russian patriot. State-owned and state-related media discourse models are traditionally studied from the top down. We will analyze how the state and the media manage the display of daily nationalism, which has usually been seen in a bottom-up approach. Thus, the combination of both approaches − banal and everyday nationalisms − will highlight the state’s interest in encouraging Russians to use their version of patriotism in everyday life. For this, a qualitative study of the video reports of the “Vesti Nedeli” program on “Russia 1” TV channel was carried out. The period between 2011−2012 has been chosen for content analysis which is known as a “protest year” and the zenith of the new identity policy of the modern Russian state. Objectives: to describe how everyday practices are used by the state to project the image of a real Russian patriot. Methods: M. Billig’s theory of banal nationalism, discourse analysis, content analysis. Results: the key practices of projecting the image of a real Russian patriot have been identified. This is the asceticism of a Russian person and the ability to live in the most modest conditions. This paradoxically combines with the unprecedented generosity of the Russian people and, provided the resources are available, the ability to live on a grand scale, without knowing the measure. The ability tocombinethesetwopolarities,asasignoftrueRussianness,isillustratedbystoriesabout current and historical characters. The third routine practice, reproduced from story to story on “Russia 1” TV channel, is paternalism, which is expressed both in caring for children, women and the elderly, and in the patronage of the state. The readiness to sacrifice is the central theme of the “Vesti Nedeli” program on the “Russia 1” TV channel. Conclusions: preventive mobilization through daily practices as the goal of identity politics implemented through “Russia 1” TV channel can easily be traced in the “Vesti Nedeli” stories using the framework of “banal nationalism” theory tools. A sacrifice, not only a great one as in war, but also small − in limiting consumerism, in the readiness to work and serve in hard conditions , to defend the honor of the country in sports competitions − all of these, with the involvement of national anger, can is easily transform from daily practice into action.
