Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article aims to determine the mechanism of heritage-making in a borderland in the European periphery. It aims to reveal a bond between heritage making and the politics of identity. The case study is the memory about the three-year exile of Pushkin in Bessarabia, a southern region of the Russian Empire. The article covers how Pushkin steadily became a significant symbolic resource in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first centuries. I argue that every time the borderland changed its rulers, along with nationality policies, the memory of Pushkin’s exile was subjected to preferred means of identity politics towards local population.
