Dramatic events and ruptures of the 20th century provide the material for playful as well as neo-imperialist and nationalist appropriations of the past. The contributors to the volume investigate this phenomenon using case studies from Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian popular cultures. They show how in mainstream films, TV series, novels, comics and computer games, the reference to Soviet history offers role models, action patterns and even helps to justify current political and military developments. The volume thus presents new insights into the multi-layered and explosive dynamics of popular culture in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Overview Chapters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Frontmatter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Contents<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Popular Culture and History in Post-Soviet Nation States<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 1: More than Nostalgia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 2: Drawn History<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 3: Narrating Russia\u2019s Multi-Ethnic Past<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 4: The Zone as a Place of Repentance and Retreat<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 5: Alternative Versions of the Past and the Future<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Chapter 6: Ludic Epistemologies and Alternate Histories<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 7: Partisan, Anti-Partisan, pARTisan, Party-Zan, Cyberpartisan<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 8: Mummified Subversion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 9: Dealing with Cultural Traumas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 10: Nostalgia for Trauma<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 11: The Affective Landscapes of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chapter 12: Come and See, Once Again<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Public History, Popular Culture, and the Belarusian Experience in a Comparative Perspective<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Acknowledgments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Authors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>9 September 2024, 318 pages<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Open Access \/ Full text (PDF)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcript-publishing.com\/978-3-8376-6077-7\/appropriating-history\">https:\/\/www.transcript-publishing.com\/978-3-8376-6077-7\/appropriating-history<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46089,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[19,8,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46088","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-e-knjige","category-knjige","category-novosti"],"acf":{"facebook_opis":""},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/historiografija.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/A_History.jpg?fit=827%2C1280&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":54174,"url":"https:\/\/historiografija.hr\/?p=54174","url_meta":{"origin":46088,"position":0},"title":"Yanni Kotsonis, &#8220;The Greek Revolution and the Violent Birth of Nationalism&#8221;","author":"Branimir Jankovi\u0107","date":"18. lipnja 2026.","format":false,"excerpt":"A sweeping global history of the birth of modern Greece In 1821, a diverse territory in the southern Balkans on the fringe of the Ottoman Empire was thrust into a decade of astounding mass violence.
