Detailed contents of research

My research focuses on the relationship between national and regional identity, particularly in border regions of Russia and Japan. For my PhD thesis, using an identity model based on the phenomenological concepts of Self and Other, I analyzed national identity discourses and images of Japan in central and border regions of Russia (Moscow, Sakhalinskaya Oblast), as well as images of Russia in central and border regions of Japan (Tokyo, Hokkaido) as depicted in national and regional newspapers.

At present, I am researching exchange between Hokkaido and various regions of Russia, as well as Russian language education in Hokkaido, particularly pronunciation.
