Post-Soviet Nostalgia: Confronting the Empire's Legacies

This collection explores post-Soviet nostalgia as a discursive practice serving a variety of agendas. The authors show how post-Soviet feelings of loss and displacement are turned into effective tools of state building, as well as into weapons for resistance and the assertion of individual autonomy.
