​The specific of this project is the study of modern Russian creative intelligentsia living both in Russia and in emigration (differentiation is difficult here: many respondents claim that the word emigration is outdated in the 21st century or spend so much time traveling that they find it difficult to determine their place of residence), establishing the national identity of this group, identifying the main images associated with Russia and trying to understand what exactly formed these identification layers, meanings and images.
