- Abstract
This article is based on the analysis of empirical data collected during eight months of fieldwork-in the provincial town of Kondopoga, St. Petersburg, and Nizhny Novgorod. During this period, 56 individual and 16 collective interviews were conducted. The paper provides the main result of this comparative research on the urban riots in France and Russia, which is related to the media. More precisely, the importance of "global" factors linked to collective violence in these urban spaces was observed. The phenomenon could be called "global circulation of national imaginaries." Indeed, it was detected that the riots of November 2005 in France, due to their widespread international media coverage, became a source for various interpretations for Russian (more or less organized) ultranationalists.
