This book investigates the significance of historical narratives in
Soviet and post-Soviet space. Encompassing reform under Mikhail
Gorbachev and retrenchment under Vladimir Putin, it explains the
political, social, and cultural importance of a polity's myths.
Charting the rise of anti-Soviet and anti-communist narratives
under perestroika, and their eventual marginalization in
post-Soviet Russia, the book argues that changes in symbolic
politics must be examined within cultural, socio-political, and
international contexts. Of particular relevance is the interactive
relationship between state and society. The study of historical
discourse must focus not only on how and why the state imposes its
discursive preferences on society, thereby shaping public memory,
but also on why and how the state itself is constructed by
prevailing narratives in society.
Establishing a causal link between historical discourse and
political change, this important book describes the role of
historical discourse in establishing, maintaining, or destroying
elite and mass political identities in Soviet and post-Soviet
space.
