Cold has long been a fixture of Russian identity both within and
beyond the borders of Russia and the Soviet Union, even as the
ongoing effects of climate change complicate its meaning and
cultural salience. The Russian Cold assembles fascinating new
contributions from a variety of scholarly traditions, offering new
perspectives on how to understand this mainstay of Russian culture
and history. In chapters encompassing such diverse topics as polar
exploration, the Eastern Front in World War II, and the iconography
of hockey, it explores the multiplicity and ambiguity of "cold" in
the Russian context and demonstrates the value of
environmental-historical research for enriching national and
imperial histories.
