| Abstract: | After the collapse of the Soviet Union, 25 million ethnic Russians were left living outside of Russia. This article reports on research exploring acculturation strategies of ethnic Russian adolescents in Latvia. There were 459 adolescent participants from Rigan secondary schools with Russian as their instruction language. The article draws on John Berry's 2-dimensional acculturation model, based on four different acculturation strategies for ethnic minority and immigrant adaptation in the host society. |
