Much attention has been devoted to the salience of nationalism in crisis times. At the micro-level, people often talk about the nation when they perceive established social norms as disrupted. Yet, the role of individual agency in reproducing nationalism in such contexts has been underexplored. Everyday nationalist practices are understood as following an unreflective adoption of nationalist ideology. This article challenges this perspective and proposes approaching nationalism as an “engaged ideology”. This means attending also to people’s active reflection on nationalist principles. A discussion of in-depth interviews from Russia provides an empirical illustration.
