Steven L. Burg, Russians, natives and Jews in the Soviet scientific elite. Cadre competition in Central Asia.
Increasing members of non-Russians, and especially of Central Asians, have been entering the ranks of the Soviet scientific and technical elite since the end of World War II. High proportions of these cadres remain in their titular republics, giving rise to a process of "nativization" of the scientific elite. "Nativization" in Central Asia is producing increased competition for positions there and, consequently, increased inter-ethnic tensions between native and non-native cadres. Soviet sociologists suggest that such tensions can be controlled by ensuring continued upward mobility for native cadres. One means by which the central Soviet leadership might attempt to ensure such mobility is the gradual removal of Jewish cadres from positions in Central Asia and their replacement by natives. This might be achieved simply as the result of the natural reduction in the number of Jewish cadres likely to result from death, emigration, and the declining number of new Jewish candidates for positions. If this natural decrease is not sufficient, the Soviet leadership is likely to remove Jews forcibly. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
