    Unraveling the Threads of History: Soviet-Era Monuments and Post-Soviet National Identity in Moscow Revised for The Annals of the Association of American Geographers August 2001 Benjamin Forest Juliet Johnson Department of Geography Department of Political Science Dartmouth College Loyola University Chicago Fairchild Hall (HB 6017) 6525 N. Sheridan Road Hanover, NH 03755 Chicago, IL 60626 Phone: (603) 646-0404 Phone: (773) 508-3059 Fax: (603) 646-1601 Fax: (773) 508-3131 E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Both authors contributed equally to the research and writing of this paper. The research was funded by an Anne U. White Grant from the Association of American Geographers and a Regional Studies Grant from the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center at Dartmouth College. The authors would like to thank John Dunlop, Ron Suny, Karen Till, Michael Urban, participants in the Russian Studies Workshop at the University of Chicago, participants in the Collaborative Research Network Workshop on “Official and Vernacular Identifications in the Making of the Modern World” at Chiang Mai University (Thailand), and four anonymous reviewers for their thoughtful comments on earlier drafts. In addition, we especially thank Irina and Olga Kalina for their invaluable research assistance in Moscow. The wheel of history has turned 180 degrees as Moscow became Russia’s first city to start sailing away from utopia and toward the nation’s rebirth.... This means that a whole layer of national culture -- the lost toponymy created by our ancestors throughout the centuries -- has come back (Zhigailov 1996, 162). The central memorial commemorating the Soviet victory over Nazism at Poklonnaia Gora in Moscow strikes one with visceral force.

It was therefore necessary to wait until groups of monuments as famous as Vatican City (19841, the Acropolis in Athens (1987) or Sanchi (1989) could be included on a list on which all of them could, legitimately, have been the very first entries.
