The Russian war in Ukraine has been accompanied, fuelled and
legitimized by a Russian information war campaign that is
unprecedented in its scope and nature. Increasingly lurid in form,
sometimes surreal, the Russian state-media propaganda campaign has
been surprisingly successful in disguising and distorting the
nature of the war and shaping the way it is perceived and
understood, both in Russia and beyond.This special issue sets out
to launch an interdisciplinary discussion on the Russian
information warfare being waged in parallel with the military war
in Ukraine. How is the war being packaged and narrated for domestic
and international audiences? How are these narratives being
received in Russia and in the West? How do we interpret and explain
the imperial hysteria and hatred currently on display on Russian
TV? What are the appropriate responses? How can we avoid the trap
of allowing Kremlin propagandists to shape the terms and language
in which the war is viewed? The JOURNAL OF SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET
POLITICS AND SOCIETY is a new bi-annual journal about to be
launched as a companion journal to the Soviet and Post-Soviet
Politics and Society book series (founded 2004 and edited by
Andreas Umland, Dr. phil., Ph. D.). Like the book series, the
journal will provide an interdisciplinary forum for new original
research on the Soviet and post-Soviet world. The journal aims to
become known for publishing creative, intelligent and lively
writing tackling and illuminating significant issues and capable of
engaging wider educated audiences beyond the academy.
This special issue provides a forum for discussion of what
Belarusian Studies are today and which new approaches and questions
are needed to revitalize the field in the regional and
international academic arena. The major aim of the issue is to go
beyond the narratives of dictatorship and authoritarianism as well
as that of a never-ending story of failed Belarusian nationalism --
interpretive schemes that are frequently used for understanding
Belarus in scholarly literature in Western Europe and Northern
America. Bringing together ongoing research based on original
empirical material from Belarusian history, politics, and society,
this issue combines a discussion of the concept of autonomy/agency
with its applicability to trace how individual and collective
actors who define themselves as Belarusian -- or otherwise -- have
manifested their agendas in various practices in spite of and in
reaction to state pressure. This issue offers new approaches for
interpreting Belarusian society as a dynamically changing set of
agencies. In doing so, it attempts to overcome a tradition of
locating present Belarusian political and social dilemmas in its
socialist past.
