The findings show that, despite the different locations, these city pairs demonstrate similar patterns in their spatial relations; in particular, the Russian twin in contrast to the non-Russian twin on the Estonian-Latvian border construct its border identity using ideas of "fortress"/"nation outpost", while its 'sibling' sees itself as a friendly, ready-to-cooperate neighbour. The findings apply to both the situation of the closed border between two towns where the ethnic Russian population dominates (Narva/Ivangorod on the Russian-Estonian border) and the contact border between ethnically non-mixed towns (Blagoveshchensk/Heihe on the Russian-Chinese border)</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="sl">Članek se ukvarja s fenomenom "spojenih" oz. mest dvojčkov s perspektive kritične geopolitike in socialnega konstruktivizma. V analizo so zajeta mesta Narva/Ivangorod, Valga/Valka in Blagoveshchensk/Heihe. Rezultati razkrivajo, da si posamezni pari mest kljub različnim geopolitičnim izhodiščem delijo podobne vzorce družbeno-prostorskega razvoja in povezovanja z okolico. Identitete posameznih parov mest se sicer močno razlikujejo glede na etnični izvor prebivalstva. V tem pogledu ruska mesta gradijo svojo identiteto zlasti na varovalni podobi "trdnjave - nacionalnega oporišča", medtem ko estonska in finska mesta bistveno bolj poudarjajo pomen dobrososedskih odnosov in sodelovanja. Ta sistem je opazen v obeh situacijah, se pravi, pri zaprti meji med dvema mestoma s prevladujočo etnično rusko populacijo in na mejah med etnično mešanimi mesti (Narva/Ivangorod na rusko-estonski meji in Blagoveshchensk/Heihe na rusko-kitajski meji)</dc:description><edm:type>TEXT</edm:type><dc:type xml:lang="sl">znanstveno časopisje</dc:type><dc:type xml:lang="en">journals</dc:type><dc:type rdf:resource="http://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q361785" /></edm:ProvidedCHO><ore:Aggregation rdf:about="http://www.dlib.si/?URN=URN:NBN:SI:doc-BEC3UIE8"><edm:aggregatedCHO rdf:resource="URN:NBN:SI:doc-BEC3UIE8" /><edm:isShownBy rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/stream/URN:NBN:SI:doc-BEC3UIE8/d3566610-4004-46b5-aa1e-5164586da61e/PDF" /><edm:rights rdf:resource="http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/" /><edm:provider>Slovenian National E-content Aggregator</edm:provider><edm:intermediateProvider xml:lang="en">National and University Library of Slovenia</edm:intermediateProvider><edm:dataProvider xml:lang="sl">Univerza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za družbene vede</edm:dataProvider><edm:object rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/streamdb/URN:NBN:SI:doc-BEC3UIE8/maxi/edm" /><edm:isShownAt rdf:resource="http://www.dlib.si/details/URN:NBN:SI:doc-BEC3UIE8" /></ore:Aggregation></rdf:RDF>
