This book discusses the diverse practices and discourses of memory
politics in Russia and Eastern Europe. It argues that currently
prevailing conservativism has a long tradition, which continued
even in Communist times, and is different to conservatism in the
West, which can accommodate other viewpoints within liberal
democratic systems. It considers how important history is for
conservatism, and how history is reconstituted according to
changing circumstances. It goes on to examine in detail values
which are key to conservatism, such as patriotism, Christianity and
religious life, and the traditional model of the family, the
importance of the sovereign national state within globalization,
and the emphasis on a strong paternal state, featuring hierarchy,
authority and political continuity. The book concludes by analysing
how far states in the region are experiencing a common trend and
whether different countries' conservative narratives are
reinforcing each other or are colliding.
