Kristina Kovalskaya, PhD in sociology (École pratique des hautes études), examines the varied effects of the war on Muslims from Russia and their diasporas. Drawing on colonial history, the sociology of religion and fieldwork on North Caucasian migration in Europe, she investigates parallel Muslim battalions, competing religious legitimations for participation in the conflict, and how diasporic politics have been reconfigured since 2014. The lecture offers analytical tools to rethink dominant interpretive frameworks.
