Neo-traditionalist fits with neo-liberal shifts in Russian cultural policy
Russia's post-2012 cultural policy is often justly seen as having been based on reactionary foundations. International awareness of this arose from the case of Pussy Riot, which publicly illustrated how a criminal trial can rely on anti-feminism and accusations of disrespect for Russian Orthodox culture. This chapter describes the speeches and strategies of Medinskii, focusing on the political and social variables that constitute the context for …
Russia – Art Resistance and the Conservative-Authoritarian Zeitgeist
Post-Pussy Riot
This article shows that resistance and a critical discourse continue in the arts, especially in visual art, in Russia under the present political conditions when free speech has been seriously circumscribed. When in May 2012 Vladimir Putin was reinstalled as president with a new authoritarian conservative agenda, it was expected that the situation for culture would change. This article addresses the question of whether a critical discourse surviv…
Art and Protest in Putin's Russia
The Pussy Riot protest, and the subsequent heavy handed treatment of the protestors, grabbed the headlines, but this was not an isolated instance of art being noticeably critical of the regime. As this book, based on extensive original research, shows, there has been gradually emerging over recent decades a significant counter-culture in the art world which satirises and ridicules the regime and the values it represents, at the same time putting …

The Foreign Policy Debate in Russia
Russia is at present seeking to define its national interest. A new foreign policy is in the process of being formed; in a debate that has run wild, the points of reference used when formulating foreign policy in the days of Soviet Marxism have been abandoned and replaced by notions about “the Russian national interest” (Rahr 1992; Crow 1992)
The Soviet Union and the Federal Republic of Germany
Coordinating and Planning Sociological Research in the Soviet Union
Sociology in the Soviet Union is a fairly young discipline. The formation of research institutes has taken place mainly during the last ten years and particularly in the 1970's (table). The scope of sociological research has widened. 1 The number of scientists is growing fast and today in the Soviet Union there are nearly 5000 sociologists at institutes connected with science academies, universities, higher education establishments, Party, Komsom…
