Etkind A. Rossija protiv sovremennosti
| Author | Etkind A. |
| Title | Rossija protiv sovremennosti |
| Description | Alexander Etkind is a cultural historian and a scholar of Russian history whose work has long focused on memory, empire, and internal colonisation. In Russia Against Modernity, he treats the war against Ukraine as the high point of a deep crisis that had been forming within the Russian state for many years. Etkind rejects easy explanations that reduce everything either to one ruler or to some timeless national destiny. His question lies elsewhere: why did Russian power turn away from modernity, and why was society prepared to follow that turn? He connects the present crisis with the logic of resource extraction and with an imperial cast of mind. He also shows how the state reshaped society for war and how the gap between generations sharpened that process. A central idea runs through the whole book - Russia has entered into conflict with modernity itself. |
