  • More about Appropriating History: The Soviet Past in Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian Popular Culture

Popular media in Eastern Europe use Soviet history to reconstruct collective imaginations of history, offering role models, action patterns, and justifications for current political and military developments. Case studies from Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian popular cultures explore this phenomenon.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 318 pages
Publication date: 27 September 2024
Publisher: Transcript Verlag


Popular media have a significant impact on shaping collective perceptions of history, particularly through the dramatic events and ruptures of the 20th century. These events provide fertile ground for playful, neo-imperialist, and nationalist appropriations of the past. The contributors to this volume explore this phenomenon through case studies from Belarusian, Russian, and Ukrainian popular cultures. They demonstrate how mainstream films, TV series, novels, comics, and computer games incorporate references to Soviet history, serving as role models, providing action patterns, and even justifying current political and military developments. This volume offers valuable insights into the complex and explosive dynamics of popular culture in Eastern Europe.
