Abstract

The Russian protests, aroused by the 2011 Duma election, have been widely portrayed as a colourful but inconsequential middle-class rebellion, confined to Moscow and organised by an unpopular opposition. In this sweeping new account of the protests, the sociologist and historian Mischa Gabowitsch challenges these journalistic cliches. Discussing protests across Russia and abroad, he analyses the biggest wave of demonstrations since the end of the Soviet Union. He shows that explanatory frameworks referring to the rise of an anti-Putin middle-class or the struggle between the opposition and the regime stem from wishful thinking and media bias rather than from accurate empirical analysis. Drawing on numerous interviews, an original database of protest events, photos and slogans, as well as a wide range of data assembled by research teams in different parts of Russia, the author places the wave of mobilisation in the context of protest and social movements in Russia as a whole, particularly outside Moscow and St Petersburg.

Abstract

This collection examines what happens when one country’s experience of dealing with its traumatic past is held up as a model for others to follow. In regional and country studies covering Argentina, Canada, Japan, Lebanon, Rwanda, Russia, Turkey, the United States and former Yugoslavia, the authors look at the pitfalls, misunderstandings and perverse effects - but also the promise - of trying to replicate atonement. Going beyond the idea of a global or transnational memory, this book examines the significance of foreign models in atonement practices, and analyses the role of national governments, international organisations, museums, foundations, NGOs and public intellectuals in shaping the idea that good practices of atonement can be learned. They also show how one can productively learn from others: by appreciating the complex and contested nature of atonement practices such as Germany’s, and by finding the necessary resources in the history of one’s own country.

Abstract

Der 9. Mai ist der weltweit wahrscheinlich am breitesten zelebrierte Kriegsgedenktag und vor allem in Russland, den ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken und Ländern mit großen russischsprachigen Bevölkerungsanteilen ein Volks- und Familienfest. Der 2015 gefeierte 70. Jahrestag des Kriegsendes 1945 war mit besonderer Emotionalität aufgeladen. Das Buch liefert eine Biographie dieses Tages, beschreibt Nachleben und Verwandlungen der sowjetischen Festkultur, Initiativen wie das »Unsterbliche Regiment« in Russland, den Kampf um das Kriegsgedenken in der Ukraine und anderen postsozialistischen Staaten. Aber auch die liberale und linke Kritik an der »Vereinnahmung« des 9. Mai durch die russische Staatsführung oder die Bedeutung dieses Tages für das Selbstverständnis der russischsprachigen Minderheiten von Estland bis Deutschland werden betrachtet.

Abstract

Groupuscules se référant au nazisme, au fascisme ou au national-bolchevisme, mouvances skinheads, contre-culture jeune, courants néo-païens et aryens : la Russie post-communiste est animée par de virulents mouvements d’extrême droite qui regroupent un large spectre idéologique. L’objectif de cette étude est de retracer leur histoire depuis l’effondrement de l’Union soviétique, de comprendre leur évolution politique, mais également de se donner des clés de lecture plus générales sur la société russe contemporaine. Décrire et analyser le phénomène du nationalisme en soi, tel est l’objet de ce livre sans précédent. L’extrême droite, loin d’être archaïque, révèle indirectement les profonds bouleversements auxquels Moscou fait face depuis deux décennies, à commencer par le besoin de reformuler une nouvelle identité collective. Un ouvrage international regroupant de nombreux spécialistes russes et allemands sous la direction de Marlène Laruelle, à qui l’on doit Mythe aryen et rêve impérial dans la Russie du xixe siècle (2005).
