Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Anna Kovalchuk iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Anna Kovalchuk Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2017 Title: Narrating the National Future: The Cossacks in Ukrainian and Russian Romantic Literature This dissertation investigates nineteenth-century narrative representations of the Cossacks—multi-ethnic warrior communities from the historical borderlands of empire, known for military strength, pillage, and revelry—as contested historical figures in modern identity politics. Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this reported scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe, and appeal to Europe institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

  • Russia Between Europe and Asia
    Alberto Masoero Russia between Europe and Asia 1 An Empire with Uncertain Boundaries The transcontinental location of the Russian state is a constant factor throughout its history. It fostered a multiplicity of religious, cultural and institutional rela- tions, largely spontaneous and pluridirectional, and not necessarily implying a clear dichotomy between East and West. After all, Europe and Asia meant dif- ferent things in different centuries. Like a sponge, Russia absorbed its military vocabulary from German and the word chay for tea – the second most popular national drink – from Mandarin Chinese. This intermediate position affected the evolution of its borders, but also influenced representations of national identity and the ideology of the state. In the sixteenth century the Tsardom of Russia began its eastward expansion by conquering the Tatar states of Kazan and Astra- khan, and to some extent it inherited the legacy of Mongol rule. It consolidated its power in the West, resisting the interference of the Polish-Lithuanian Common- wealth, a more prestigious and powerful state at the time. The Tsar would also, after the partitions of Poland in the eighteenth century, claim the title of King of Poland. The centuries-old process of territorial expansion, directed towards different regions of Europe and Asia at different times, encountered its main set- backs during periods of profound political, social and economic crisis, accompa- nied by significant losses of territory and by discontinuities in dynasties and in the form of the state. This happened during the Time of Troubles (1598-1613) and the cycle of world war-revolution-civil war of 1914-1921, as well as in the historical phase that began with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the birth of the post-Soviet states.

  • The Evolution of Russia's Great Power Discourse
    THE EVOLUTION OF RUSSIA’S GREAT POWER DISCOURSE: A CONCEPTUAL HISTORY OF VELIKAYA DERZHAVA By Anatoly Reshetnikov Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations Word count: 88,828 In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Supervisor: Dr Alexander Astrov Budapest, Hungary 2018 COPYRIGHT NOTICE I hereby declare that this thesis contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. The thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, except where appropriate acknowledgement is made in the form of bibliographical reference. Anatoly Reshetnikov Budapest, 25 September 2018 i ABSTRACT Today, Russia is yet again talking about being a great power. Such rhetoric emerges in almost every programmatic text written by Russian politicians, as well as in every forecast and policy analysis prepared by Russian state-affiliated think-tanks. Most western observers perceive this as a question of foreign policy and treat Russia’s claims with suspicion. At a closer look, however, it becomes evident that, instead of having an exclusive connection to foreign policy, Russia’s great power discourse is self-centered, defensive, ideological, and relates equally, if not more, to the causes of Russian domestic consolidation and catch up development. In this study, I argue that the origins of this inherent ambivalence and specific functions of Russia’s great power discourse should be sought in the conceptual evolution of velikaya derzhava, a Russian political concept that is usually translated as ‘great power’. In its current shape, velikaya derzhava is a product of both the evolution of local political culture, and Russia’s discursive encounters with external political environment, the most consequential of which was Russia’s lengthy and troubled integration into the European society of states in the XVIII and the XIX centuries.

  • A Semiotic Reading of Hyperrealism in the Soviet Union
    A SEMIOTIC READING OF HYPERREALISM IN THE SOVIET UNION: REPRESENTATIONS OF THE SOVIET URBANSCAPE IN THE 1970S AND 1980S AS A NEW FORM OF CRITICAL REALISM by MARIA CRISTINA MORANDI A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School – New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Art History written under the direction of Professor Jane A. Sharp New Brunswick, New Jersey October 2019 ©2019 Maria Cristina Morandi ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Semiotic Reading of Hyperrealism in the Soviet Union: the Representation of Soviet Urbanscape in the 1970s and 1980s as a New Form of Critical Realism By MARIA CRISTINA MORANDI Dissertation Director: Jane A. Sharp In the 1950s and 1960s, the Western-established dichotomy between style and ideology, embodied by modernism and realism, was dominant. This dichotomy tended to suppress, marginalize or ostracize realism in the Soviet Union by reducing it to the leftist political project. This dissertation presents a critical reassessment of realism in the Soviet Union by challenging its representation as a monolithic phenomenon through the analysis of hyperrealism in the 1970s and 1980s. My analyses of Ando Keskküla, Jaan Elken, Semyon Faibisovich and Sergei Sherstiuk’s hyperrealist artworks, based on Yuri Lotman's semiotic theory of culture, show the influence on their artistic production of the social and cultural system of signs of the Soviet society, as displayed in architecture, means of transport, and housing, along with the artist’s personal agenda. Rather than the idealized conditions promoted by official doctrine, these artists adopted a unique strategy to subvert the predominant Socialist realist political rhetoric by representing the actual ii conditions of decay and collapse of Tallinn and Moscow’s urban environment as a powerful metaphor for the existential condition of alienation and seclusion experienced by the population in the last years of the Soviet era.
