This collection offers a fresh look at post-Soviet Russia and Eurasia and at the Soviet historical background that shaped the present. It focuses on national identity and particularly on the ways in which this was understood in the last decades of Soviet power and has been redefined since 1991.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'This is an insightful and informative volume, which provides a wealth of original information in relation to Soviet and post-Soviet identities. The links made between the past and present are particularly valuable, showing the ways in which the past is embedded in, and central for, understanding what is happening in the present. The range of themes and the geographical spread of the book are impressive, as is the use of empirical material in many of the chapters. It is an excellent source for academics and students alike in the field of Soviet and post-Soviet identity studies and it also has great relevance in a comparative sense beyond the region.' Moya Flynn, Slavonica

'Bringing into dialogue some of the most engaging and innovative new research on the construction of social identity in the Soviet and post-Soviet states, this volume is an impressive achievement and valuable contribution to the field.' Victoria Donovan, Modern Language Review

'Soviet and Post-Soviet Identities is a significant contribution to Slavic studies and to the field of nationhood studies more generally.' Andrea Lanoux, The Russian Review
