  • History, Memory and National Identity Understanding the Politics of History and Memory Wars in Post-Soviet Lands
    History, Memory and National Identity Understanding the Politics of History and Memory Wars in Post-Soviet Lands Igor Torbakov Abstract: Over the past several decades, the “politics of history” has become a significant aspect of domestic politics and international relations within Europe and around the world. The politicizing and instrumentalizing of history usually pursues two main objectives: first is the construction of a maximally cohesive national identity and rallying the society around the powers that be; second is eschewing the problem of guilt. The two are clearly interlinked; having liberated oneself of the sense of historical, political, moral or whatever responsibility, it is arguably much easier to take pride in one’s newly minted “unblem- ished” identity based on the celebratory interpretation of one’s country’s “glorious past.” This article intends to explore how the memories of some momentous developments in the tumultuous 20th century (above all, the experience of totalitarian dictatorships, World War II, the “division” and “reunification” of Europe, the collapse of the Soviet Union) and their historical interpretations relate to concepts of national identity in the post-Soviet lands. Keywords: history, memory, identity, politics of history, Russia, Eastern Europe Tell me what you remember and I’ll diagnose your condition —Aleksandr Kustaryov1 t the end of June 2010, a remarkable text appeared on the website of the Russian A liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy. Its author, the prominent Russian lawmaker Kon- stantin Kosachev, suggested that it was time for Russia to elaborate upon what he called a comprehensive “set of principles, an ‘historical doctrine’ of sorts” that would help Moscow Igor Torbakov is currently a Visiting Fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations in Berlin.

  • "Russian Foreign Policy Towards Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1992
    Mehrzod N. Sharifzoda RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY TOWARDS BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA IN 1992-2019 BASIC RESEARCH PROGRAM WORKING PAPERS SERIES: INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS WP BRP 38/IR/2020 This Working Paper is an output of a research project implemented at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). Any opinions or claims contained in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of HSE Mehrzod N. Sharifzoda1 RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY TOWARDS BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA IN 1992-2019 This article is devoted to analyzing the Kremlin's foreign policy in the post-Yugoslav space by the case of Russia's foreign policy towards Bosnia and Herzegovina. An analysis of Russia's foreign policy towards Bosnia and Herzegovina will help to identify the strengths and weaknesses of Russia's foreign policy towards the post-Yugoslav countries. In addition, the author, examining the Russian-Bosnian relations during the last 27 years, tries to show the foreign policy of the superpower towards quasi-confederation and determine the place of Russia in the Western Balkans. Special attention is paid in the article to relations between Russia and the Republika Srpska which is against the entry of BiH to NATO. The close relations of Republika Srpska with Russia contradict the plans of the USA, which want to see BiH in NATO. Since the 1990s, the US has been trying to oust Russia from the Western Balkans. However, Russia demonstrates an aspiration to prevent the entry of BiH to NATO and supports the policy of Republika Srpska. JEL Classification: F59. Key words: BiH, Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik, CIS, NATO, Russia, Western Balkans, Yugoslavia.
