Transnationalism and Migration: Russian Emigration to the United States in the 20th Century

Abstract

This article investigates the patterns of Russian emigration to the United States during the 20th century, with a focus on political, social, and economic factors driving migration. By examining archival sources, letters, and memoirs, the paper explores the experiences of Russian emigrants and their adaptation to American society. The study also addresses the impact of transnationalism, highlighting how Russian migrants maintained strong cultural and familial ties with their homeland, contributing to the formation of a distinctive Russian-American identity. The research provides a critical perspective on the role of migration in shaping both Russian and American societies, reflecting the complexities of the diaspora experience.
