Index
Stephen M. Norris is Walter E. Havighurst Professor of Russian History and Director of the Havighurst Center for Russian and Post-Soviet Studies at Miami University. He is author of Blockbuster History in the New Russia: Movies, Memory, Patriotism and editor of five books on Russian history and culture, including Russia's People of Empire: Life Stories from Eurasia, 1500 to the Present.
The chapters do present a series of stimulating (and sometimes
provocative) case studies about the situation in particular
countries. It is a book which will be of interest to postgraduate
students and researchers with interests in the post-communist world
and more broadly in issues of post-communist memory politics.
*Eurasian Geography and Economics*
Both empirically and theoretically, this volume manages the rare
trick of adding up to much more than the sum of its parts; it is
essential reading for all scholars and students of Eastern European
memory politics and museology.
*The Russian Review*
