The long hangover : Putin's new Russia and the ghosts of the past / Shaun Walker. by Walker, Shaun. Oxford University Press, 2018. Call #: 947.0862 W184L Subjects Putin, Vladimir Vladimirovich, 1952-   Group identity -- Russia (Federation)   Collective memory -- Russia (Federation)   Russia (Federation) -- Politics and government -- 1991-   Russia (Federation) -- History.   Russia (Federation) -- Foreign relations. ISBN:  9780190659240 (hc.) Description:  vii, 278 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "A bottom-up explanation of Russia's resurgence under Putin. By cleverly exploiting the memory of the Soviet victory over fascism in World War II, Putin's regime has made ordinary Russians feel that their country is great again. Shaun Walker provides new insight into contemporary Russia and its search for a new identity, telling the story through the country's troubled relationship with its Soviet past. Walker not only explains Vladimir Putin's goals and the government's official manipulations of history, but also focuses on ordinary Russians and their motivations. How Putin raised victory in World War II to the status of a national founding myth in the search for a unifying force to heal a divided country, and how dangerous the ramifications of this have been. Why Russia, unlike Germany, has failed to come to terms with the darkest pages of its past: Stalin's purges, the Gulag, and the war deportations. The narrative roams from the corridors of the Kremlin to the wilds of the Gulags and the trenches of East Ukraine. It puts the annexation of Crimea and the newly assertive Russia in the context of the delayed fallout of the Soviet collapse. A book about a lost generation: the millions of Russians who lost their country and the subsequent attempts to restore to them a sense of purpose. A thoughtful exploration of the legacy of the Soviet collapse and how it has affected life in Russia and Putin's policies. Shaun Walker is Moscow correspondent for The Guardian"--Provided by publisher.
