Summary:

This book explores the interplay between family memory and public memory in Putin's Russia, focusing on the veneration of Soviet victory in World War II and the neglect of Soviet-era terror. It examines how cultural artifacts such as films, architecture, and rituals shape collective memory and affect public sentiment. The author, Ekaterina V. Haskins, delves into the rhetoric of memory politics, illustrating how these narratives are manipulated to foster patriotism while obscuring past atrocities. The book is intended for scholars and students interested in memory studies, Russian history, and political rhetoric. Generated by AI.
