Empire of Memory: Historical Narratives, Geopolitics, and the Legacy of Russian Imperialism offers a compelling, multi-perspective analysis of Russian imperialism as both a historical phenomenon and a contemporary strategy. Spanning from the Tsarist period to the present, the volume examines how imperial ideologies continue to shape national identities, memory politics, and geopolitical conflicts.
Drawing on case studies from Ukraine, Poland, Georgia, the Baltic states, Finland, Azerbaijan, and beyond, leading scholars explore disinformation, cultural domination, manipulated historical narratives, and other mechanisms through which imperial power persists and adapts.
Timely and interdisciplinary, Empire of Memory is an essential resource for understanding how empire is remembered, reinvented, and weaponized in the modern world.
