Russia’s complicated memory
Russia’s complicated memory

Summary/Abstract: Russia is very often referred to as a “neo-imperial” power. Such a label is used mostly due to Russia’s political, economic, cultural and military engagement in its “near abroad”: the countries that are regarded by Russia as its sphere of influence. Russian neoimperialism, however, is not limited to foreign policy alone as it feeds itself on a collective memory of an imperial past. Yet, there is also another type of Russian identity which is largely ignored: its post-colonial one.
