All-Russian nation

The All-Russian nation (Russian: общерусский народ, romanized: obshcherussky narod) or triune Russian nation (триединый русский народ, triyediny Russky narod), also called the pan-Russian nation, is the term for the Imperial Russian and later irredentist ideology^[1]^[2] that sees the Russian nation as comprising a "trinity" of sub-nations:^[3]^[4]^[5] Great Russia, Little Russia, and White Russia.^[6] Respectively, these sub-nations are contextually identified with Russians, Ukrainians (usually including the Rusyns),^[7]^[8] and Belarusians. Above all, the basis of the ideology's upholding of an inclusive Russian identity is centered around bringing all East Slavs under its fold.^[9]^[10]

An imperial dogma focused on nation-building became popular in the Tsardom of Russia and the Russian Empire, where it was consolidated as the official state ideology; the sentiment of the triune nationality of "All-Russian" was embraced by many imperial subjects, including Jews and Germans, and ultimately served as the foundation of the Russian Empire.^[11]^[12]^[13]
