From politicians’ speeches to popular culture, from Orthodox Christianity to neo-paganism, the medieval Russian past remains crucial in constructing national identity, mobilizing society during times of crisis, and providing alternative models of communal belonging. Frequent appeals to a medieval Slavic past, its heroes and myths, have provided—and continue to provide—a particularly powerful tool for animating imperialist and populist sentiments. This study explores persuasive—and pervasive—recourse to tropes concerned with the Middle Ages in Imperial, Soviet, and post-Soviet Russia, seeking to explain why an often romanticized medieval past remains potent in Russian politics, society, and culture today.HISTORY / MedievalbisacshImperial Russia.Middle Ages.Russian politics.Soviet Russia.Ukraine.post-Soviet Russia.HISTORY / Medieval.947Smelyansky Eugene, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1827663DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9911009212803321Medievalisms and Russia4395802UNINA
