Symbolism and the transformation of the national historical narrative in postsoviet Russia
Ch. 33. P. 377-387.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia needed a new symbolism to provide a basis for renewed national identity and a vision of a common past and future. Constructing appropriate symbols became vitally important for cultivating national solidarity and loyalty to the new Russian state. The chapter describes the major stages of evolution of the symbolic programme developed by the Russian state, with a special focus on transformations of the national historical narrative, meaning a shared template for describing the past of the nation in a way that “explains” its present and future.
