In examining the re-emergence of Russia's White Movement, Memory
Politics and the Russian Civil War gets to the heart of the rich
20th-century memory debates going on in Putin's Russia today. The
Kremlin has been giving preference to a Soviet-lite nostalgia that
denounces the 1917 Bolshevik revolution but celebrates the birth of
a powerful Soviet Union able to bring the country to the forefront
of the international scene after the victory in World War II. Yet
in parallel, another historical narrative has gradually
consolidated on the Russian public scene, one that favours the
opposite camp, namely the White movement and the pro-tsarist groups
defeated in the early 1920s. This book offers the first
comprehensive exploration of this 'White Revenge', looking at the
different actors who promote a White and pro-Romanov rehabilitation
agenda in the political, ideological and cultural arenas and what
this historical agenda might mean for Russia, both today and
tomorrow.
