It considers the effects their discussions have had on Russia's Antarctic policy and may yet have on Antarctica itself. In particular, it examines the Soviet decision in 1949, in line with the cultural policies of late Stalinism, to revise the traditional view of the expedition in order to claim that it was Russian seamen that first sighted the Antarctic mainland in January 1820; this claim remains the official position in Russia today. The author illustrates, however, that the case for such a claim has never been established, and that attempts to make it damaged the work of successive Russian historians. Providing a timely assessment of Russian historiography of the Bellingshausen expedition and examining the connections between the priority claim and national policy goals, this book represents an important contribution to the history of the Antarctic. . 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aPolitical History 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 14$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aPolitical History. 676 $a526.0979809033 676 $a947.0072 700 $aBulkeley$b Rip$053286 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484534703321 996 $aThe Historiography of the First Russian Antarctic Expedition, 1819-21$91892911 997 $aUNINA
