  • “We're Nostalgic but We're Not Crazy”: Retrofitting the Past in Russia
    “We’re nostalgic but we’re not crazy”: Retrofitting the Past in Russia SERGUEI ALEX. OUSHAKINE As far as my memory’s concerned, I know a particular word exists, except that it has lost meaning. I don’t understand it as I did before I was wounded. ... So I have to limit myself to words that “feel” familiar to me, that have some definite meaning for me. These are the only ones that I bother with when I try to think or talk to people. Lev Zasetsky, a patient suffering from aphasia. On New Year’s Eve, we’ll sit in front of a Sony TV, drinking Absolut vodka as we watch Russian films and sing Russian songs. ... Of course, the film is a remake shot in 35-millimeter Kodak and cost millions of American dollars. We’re nostalgic but we’re not crazy. Leonid Parfyonov, a TV producer (1995). In the scholarship on cultural changes in postsocialist countries it has become a cliché to single out nostalgia as an increasingly prominent symbolic practice through which the legacy of the previous period makes itself visible. Scholars from the Balkans are talking about Yugonostalgia and its fascination with “the successes of the golden Yugoslav national teams and clubs, personalities and elements of political life.”1 In a similar fashion, cultural critics of the (former) German Democratic Republic draw attention to the phenomenon of Ostalgia centered on Ostprodukte, the items of daily consumption from the socialist time, that are available again in the eastern part of Germany.2 Often perceived as a reaction to the recent I want to thank Kim Lane Scheppele, Clemena Antonova, Dmitry Bychkov, Elena Gapova, Helena Goscilo, Nadezhda Mishustina, Maya Nadkarni, Stephen Norris, Kevin Platt, Nancy Ries, and the two anonymous reviewers from The Russian Review for their helpful comments and suggestions on earlier drafts of this article.

Russia Eternal: Recalling The Imperial Era In Late- And Post-Soviet Literature And Culture Abstract The return of Tsarist buildings, narratives and symbols has been a prominent facet of social life in post- Soviet Russia. My dissertation aims to explain this phenomenon and its meaning by tracking contemporary Russia’s cultural memory of the Imperial era. By close-reading both popular and influential cultural texts, as well as analyzing their conditions of production and reception, I show how three generations of Russian cultural elites from the 1950s until today have used Russia’s past to fight present- day political battles, and outline how the cultural memory of the Imperial epoch continues to inform post- Soviet Russian leaders and their mainstream detractors. Chapters One and Two situate the origin of Russian culture’s current engagement with the pre-Revolutionary era in the social dynamic following Stalin’s death in 1953.

  • Mediated Post-Soviet Nostalgia
    MEDIATED POST-SOVIET NOSTALGIA Ekaterina Kalinina MEDIATED POST-SOVIET NOSTALGIA Ekaterina Kalinina Södertörns högskola © Ekaterina Kalinina 2014 Södertörn University SE-141 89 Huddinge Cover Image: Olcay Yalçın Cover and content layout: Per Lindblom & Jonathan Robson Printed by Elanders, Stockholm 2014 Södertörn Doctoral Dissertations 98 ISSN 1652-7399 ISBN 978-91-87843-08-2 ISBN 978-91-87843-09-9 (digital) Abstract Post-Soviet nostalgia, generally understood as a sentimental longing for the Soviet past, has penetrated deep into many branches of Russian popular culture in the post-1989 period. The present study investigates how the Soviet past has been mediated in the period between 1991 and 2012 as one element of a prominent structure of feeling in present-day Russian culture. The Soviet past is represented through different mediating arenas – cultural domains and communicative platforms in which meanings are created and circulated. The mediating arenas examined in this study include television, the Internet, fashion, restaurants, museums and the- atre. The study of these arenas has identified common ingredients which are elements of a structure of feeling of the period in question. At the same time, the research shows that the representations of the past vary with the nature of the medium and the genre. The analysis of mediations of the Soviet past in Russian contemporary culture reveals that there has been a change in the representations of the Soviet past during the past twenty years, which roughly correspond to the two decades marked by the presidencies of Boris Yeltsin in the 1990s and of Vladimir Putin in the 2000s (including Dmitrii Medvedev’s term, 2008–2012).

  • Communist Editorial Cartoons in the 1920S and the Issue of Race
    Black and White and Red All Over: Communist Editorial Cartoons in the 1920s and the Issue of Race Alexander M. Dunphy Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Alexander M. Dunphy All rights reserved Abstract The U.S. Communist Party’s (CP) fight for racial justice is one of the most important and neglected chapters in the history of civil rights struggles in the United States. When it is studied the focus tends to be on the 1930s, however this conventional periodization ignores the dramatic growth in the Party’s understanding of race during the 1920s. A focus on this period forces a reexamination of the relationship between the CP and the Soviet–based Communist International (Comintern). Rather than dictated from Moscow, the CP’s understanding of the issues facing African Americans evolved through a dialogue between Communists of all races around the world. This challenges the assumptions of the “Cold War” historians, who paint the Party as puppets of Russia, as well as “revisionist” histories, which tend to ignore the Comintern by focusing on the Party’s grassroots. By neither denouncing nor ignoring the relationship between international and domestic Communists, I show how this exchange provided a catalyst to the CP’s changing position on race. This not only has implications for the historiography of the Communism, but also sheds light on current debates over the feasibility of the political left as a vehicle for addressing issues of race. In this thesis, I address this omission by analyzing previously unexamined editorial cartoons from Communist Party publications during the 1920s to highlight the CP’s changing views on race.
