Since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, questions of identity
have dominated the culture not only of Russia, but of all the
countries of the former Soviet bloc. This timely collection
examines the ways in which cultural activities such as fiction, TV,
cinema, architecture and exhibitions have addressed these questions
and also describes other cultural flashpoints, from attitudes to
language to the use of passports. It discusses definitions of
political and cultural nationalism, as well as the myths,
institutions and practices that moulded and expressed national
identity. From post-Soviet recollections of food shortages to the
attempts by officials to control popular religion, it analyses a
variety of unexpected and compelling topics to offer fresh insights
about this key area of world culture. Illustrated with numerous
photographs, it presents the results of recent research in an
accessible and lively way.
