Russo-Antarctic Nationalism (often known in Antarctica simply as Russian Nationalism; frequently shortened to RAN) is an ethnic, political and cultural movement supporting the rights of ethnic Russians in Antarctica. Supporters commonly campaign for political autonomy for Russians, and seek to create autonomous or semi-autonomous "Oblasts" for Russians in different regions of the continent. Alternatively, many other supporters have suggested that Bellinsgauzenia should annex all Russian-majority areas; thereby creating a single nation which would encompass all Antarctic Russians.
