It notes that state leaders in all of these states are making strenuous efforts to imbue their population with a sense of common nationhood. In the post-Soviet world, however, the concept of ?nation? is for all practical purposes synonymous with ?ethnic group?, and nation-building strategies tend to be based on the culture and language of the dominant group, the so-called ?titular nationality?. Members of minority groups often see themselves as culturally and politically marginalized. =650 4$$a Former Soviet Republics--Politics and government =650 4$$a Nationalism--Former soviet republics =504 ##$$a p.293-297 =990 ##$$a 00000015469 =990 ##$$a 00000015470 =990 ##$$a 00000015470 =990 ##$$a 00000015469
