Inhaltsangabe

The study examines the Russian “Großraum”: Geopolitical concepts and spatial imaginaries of Russia – Imperial, Soviet, and Post-Soviet. The authors discuss the spatial organization of Russia – encompassing internal colonization, inner hierarchies, and territorial-administrative structures –, the vectors of Russian expansion, “Russkiy Mir” in and outside of the empire, the ‘near and far abroad’ concept, as well as “geocultural” vectors of Russian/Soviet/Russian “missions”, from its religious mission to its “mission civilisatrice”. From Peter I and Tolstoy to Zakhar Prilepin and Georgy Shchedrovitsky, different angles and aspects of Russian mental maps and “cultural geography” are analyzed in this kaleidoscopic study which elucidates the Russia of Catherine II to that of Vladimir Putin.
