Relics, Remains, and Revisionism
The story of the execution of the ex-Tsar and his family has spawned a vast and diverse literature about the fate of the Romanovs and their significance to Russia. Narratives mutate and multiply. Over the years, from fragments of evidence, writers have fashioned stories of death or survival; of bodies concealed, exhumed, and reburied; of revolutionary justice or ritual murder. The ‘tsarist affair’ is by no means the most significant development i…
The Legacy of the Soviet Union
The Legacy of the Soviet Union offers a distillation by a group of eminent scholars of their experience of the post-Soviet years. Analysis of the post-Soviet landscape is accompanied by meditations on
A Modern-Day Saint? Metropolitan Ioann and the Postsoviet Russian Orthodox Church
The modern world tends not to produce many saints or at least, not ones officially recognised by organised religions. I And yet the reactions in 1997 to the deaths of two very different women Diana Princess of Wales and Mother Teresa of Calcutta showed that modern industrialised societies, despite their largely secular culture, still need saintly figures. The devotees of Mother Teresa regarded her as a living saint and on her death urged the Roma…
The Orthodox Ethic
It is a widespread assumption that Russia's national patriotic opposition had no specific concept for economic reform. According to Walter Laqueur: 'The Russian Right has traditionally shown little interest in economic policy. It has all along expressed its strong dislikes but it has hardly ever presented viable alternatives.' Anders Aslund, similarly, suggested that the communist and nationalist 'line of thought has hardly anything new to offer,…
The Patriots' Pushkin
A nation's shared culture reflects its status as an "imagined community."1 Different sections of the imagined community, however, have their own ideas about what the shared culture should include and what ought to be excluded from it, and this incessant debate over the cultural canon affects the nation's sense of identity. The rise of the civil rights movement and feminism in the United States in the 1960s, for example, challenged the dominance o…
Russia's imagined history
The ideologues of Russia's communist and nationalist opposition (the so‐called 'national patriots') have developed an 'imagined history' of Russia as part of their concept of post‐Soviet Russian national identity. The Soviet period, however, presents particular problems for the national patriots, who must square the destruction of traditional Russia after 1917 with the expansion of Russian great‐power status after 1945. Both the neo‐communists an…
