Bringing together scholars from Russia, the United States and
Europe, this collection of essays is the first to explore the
slippery phenomenon of post-Soviet nostalgia by studying it as a
discursive practice serving a wide variety of ideological agendas.
The authors demonstrate how feelings of loss and displacement in
post-Soviet Russia are turned into effective tools of state
building and national mobilization, as well as into weapons for
local resistance and the assertion of individual autonomy. Drawing
on novels, memoirs, documentaries, photographs and Soviet
commodities, Post-Soviet Nostalgia is an invaluable resource for
historians, literary scholars and anthropologists interested in how
Russia comes to terms with its Soviet past.
