This book is an exploration of the changes in Russian cultural
identity in the twenty years after the fall of the Soviet state.
Through close readings of a select number of contemporary Russian
films and television series, Irina Souch investigates how a variety
of popular cultural tropes ranging from the patriarchal family to
the country idyll survived the demise of Communism and maintained
their power to inform the Russian people's self-image. She shows
how these tropes continue to define attitudes towards political
authority, economic disparity, ethnic and cultural difference,
generational relations and gender. The author also introduces
theories of identity developed in Russia at the same time, enabling
these works to act as sites of productive dialogue with the more
familiar discourses of Western scholarship.
