While Russia?s historical process is by no means unique, two features of its historical development stand out. First, the country?s history is characterized by dramatic political discontinuity. In the past century, Russia changed its ?historical skin? three times: following the disintegration of the Tsarist Empire accompanied by violent civil war, it was reconstituted as the communist USSR, whose breakup a quarter century ago led to the emergence of the present-day Russian Federation. Each of the dramatic transformations in the 20th century powerfully affected the notion of what ?Russia? is and what it means to be Russian. Second, alongside Russia?s political instability, there is, paradoxically, a striking picture of geopolitical stability and of remarkable longevity as an imperial entity. At least since the beginning of the 18th century, ?Russia? has been a permanent geopolitical fixture on Europe?s north-eastern margins with its persistent pretense to the status of a great power. Against this backdrop, the book?s three sections investigate (a) the emergence and development of Eurasianism as a form of (post-)imperial ideology, (b) the crucial role Ukraine has historically played for the Russians? self-understanding, and (c) the contemporary Russian elites? exercises in historical legitimation. 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society ;$v191. 606 $aPost-Soviet 606 $aRussia 606 $aPolitics 606 $aRussland 606 $aPolitik 615 4$aPost-Soviet 615 4$aRussia 615 4$aPolitics 615 4$aRussland 615 4$aPolitik 676 $a940.5 700 $aTorbakov$b Igor$4aut$01837007 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$4edt 702 $aPlokhy$b Serhii$4aui 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972420403321 996 $aAfter Empire$94415269 997 $aUNINA
