"EVERY CENTIMETER OF THIS GROUND IS HISTORY": Heritage, Narrative, and Identity -- CONCLUSION -- APPENDIX -- SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY -- NOTES -- INDEXChronicles in Stone is a study of the powerful and pervasive myth of the Russian Northwest, its role in forming Soviet and Russian identities, and its impact on local communities. Combining detailed archival research, participant observation and oral history work, it explores the transformation of three northwestern Russian towns from provincial backwaters into the symbolic homelands of the Soviet and Russian nations.The book's central argument is that the Soviet state exploited the cultural heritage of the Northwest to craft patriotic narratives of the people's genius, heroism and strength that could bind the nation together after 1945. Through sustained engagement with local voices, it reveals the ways these narratives were internalized, revised, and resisted by the communities living in the region.Donovan provides an alternative lens through which to view the rise of Russian patriotic consciousness in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, adding a valuable regional dimension to our knowledge of Russian nation building and identity politics.NIU series in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian studies.Cornell scholarship online.Historic preservationPolitical aspectsSoviet Union, NorthwesternHistoric preservationPolitical aspectsRussia, NorthwesternHistoric buildingsConservation and restorationPolitical aspectsSoviet Union, NorthwesternHistoric buildingsConservation and restorationPolitical aspectsRussia, NorthwesternCultural propertyProtectionPolitical aspectsSoviet Union, NorthwesternCultural propertyProtectionPolitical aspectsRussia, NorthwesternNationalism and architectureSoviet UnionNationalism and architectureRussia (Federation)RussiansEthnic identityNational characteristics, Russiananthropology, heritage studies, oral history, nationalism, Orthodox Christianity.Historic preservationPolitical aspectsHistoric preservationPolitical aspectsHistoric buildingsConservation and restorationPolitical aspectsHistoric buildingsConservation and restorationPolitical aspectsCultural propertyProtectionPolitical aspectsCultural propertyProtectionPolitical aspectsNationalism and architectureNationalism and architectureRussiansEthnic identity.National characteristics, Russian.363.6/909472Donovan Victoria, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1560173DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910793850703321Chronicles in Stone3825905UNINA
