| Description | There were six waves of regionalism in Russia and in Western Europe. Russia was in step with the West until Stalin's reign. In the 1830s, cultural regionalism emerged in Russia and the West. In the 1860s, Siberia provided one of the earliest examples of political regionalism in Europe. The 1890s were a high point of cultural regionalism in the East and West, and the 1920s were a regionalist feast in both. After Stalin, the two diverged, with flourishing political regionalism in the European Union by the 1970s, contrasting with a weaker Soviet cultural regionalism. The wave of the 2000s underlined the contrast. There were six waves of regionalism in Russia and in Western Europe. Russia was in step with the West until Stalin's reign. In 1968, regionalist aspirations emerged as part of the wave of unrest that swept through Europe. There was a massive wave of regional institution-building supported by the forerunners to the European Union, partly in response to the unrest of 1968, leading to a sharp rise in political regionalism. In Western Europe, the 1990s saw another wave of regionalism. During the 1990s, regionalist parties reached 15% of the vote share – a high that had not been reached since the 1970s. In the 1990s, the collapse of the Soviet Union encouraged another wave of Western European regionalism as well as an upsurge of cultural regionalism among local intellectuals and a short-lived attempt at political regionalism between 1991 and 1993 among local political elites.
