  • A Modern Siberian City
    SS SIBERIAN SOCIUM J. Song, pp. 74-83 A MODERN SIBERIAN CITY research article DOI: 10.21684/2587-8484-2018-2-1-74-83 UDC 336.132.11+342.228.2 (47+57) Branding Local Towns in Post-Soviet Russia through Reinventing Local Symbols Joonseo Song Ph. D. in History, Associate Professor, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (South Korea) [email protected] Abstract. Authorities of post-Soviet cities have redefined local identities by replacing symbols of industria- lisation achievement with those of the pre-revolutionary times. One can understand such initiatives as a denial of the negative legacy of a national project driven by the central government. After the demise of the centralised system in the 1990s, local authorities began to define their identities in their own way, using their historical experiences and traditions. The local city authorities’ restora- tion of pre-revolutionary symbols in coats-of-arms was a post-Soviet “invention of tradition” and a formation of new local identities reflecting post-Soviet values. Keywords: coats-of-arms, local identities, local symbols, Soviet industrialisation, post-Soviet dein- dustrialisation. Citation: Song J. 2018. “Branding Local Towns in Post-Soviet Russia through Reinventing Local Symbols”. Siberian Socium, vol. 2, no 1, pp. 74-83. DOI: 10.21684/2587-8484-2018-2-1-74-83 INTRODUCTION During the last 25 years since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, local Russian cities and towns have made great efforts in redefining their local identities. They have “created”— in fact, “rediscovered” in many cases—new local symbols because post-Soviet changes in political, economic, and social conditions have compelled local authorities to redefine their local symbols, and furthermore, even their local identities.
