Utopia Remembers
After a twenty‐five‐year hiatus, the reappearance of utopian literature in 1957 prompted Soviet literary watchdogs to corral the subgenre into an ideologically‐acceptable mold. A key requirement was for future generations to be depicted as reverently commemorating the past. Initially, this imagined mnemonic link functioned to reinforce the Bolshevik lineage of the communist utopia. Curiously, however, the principal object of posterity’s reverence…
In parentheses
In his remarkably interesting article, Oleg Khlevniuk leaves “in parentheses those wartime summary executions, which were a special case of emergency military measures.” Other historians, who examine the topic of wartime repression, also do not to consider the number of victims of extrajudicial executions. In this article, I will attempt, firstly, to assess the prevalence of this phenomenon and its dynamics during the war, and secondly, to determ…
The commemorative legacies of state socialism
The concept of “post-socialism” not only foregrounds the momentous historical rupture of 1989/1991; it also affirms the persistence of state socialist legacies. Regardless of where transitional pro
Historicist Architecture and Stalinist Futurity
Architectural practice in the Stalinist USSR saw the sudden and rapid revival of historical forms and styles. One approach interprets this development as part of a reactionary shift in Soviet temporal culture, a "Great Retreat" across all spheres of social and political life. The rival conception sees in historicism an aesthetic of "timelessness" and "perfection," which expressed Stalinism's self-characterization as an eternal, utopian present. T…

Strength in diversity
This paper investigates collective memory of the Soviet experiment in the narratives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF), in the period of 1993–2004. My research finds that ideological differences within the CPRF led to the creation of multiple and contrasting depictions of the Soviet past in the discourse of its leaders. Challenging dominant assumptions, I argue that these differences did not conflict and undermine one anothe…
David North , The Russian revolution and the unfinished twentieth century
The aim of David North’s book is twofold: unmasking established academia’s falsification of twentieth-century history, and, having re-established historical truth, enabling the workers’ movement to
Interpellation in the late Soviet period
Most literature on ideology in the late Soviet period notes the progressive de-ideologization of Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) politics under Mikhail Gorbachev. Looking specifically at the legitimating functions of ideology, the article contests this generalization. In doing so, it proposes the concept of ideological interpellation to clarify the relationship between doctrine and regime legitimation. The author argues that interpella…
