Abstract

This article examines nostalgia in contemporary Russia, where it has been actualized and concretized across society since the middle of the 1990s. The features and mechanism of Russian nostalgia, especially its cultural forms of representation, are investigated by means of statistical data and public opinion research. The problem of the politics of nostalgia is analyzed in terms of nostalgia's connection with identity formation. The uses of the Soviet past in Russia are considered in the larger framework of the multifaceted aspects of nostalgia as a widespread phenomenon, taking in both the global and the local in the era of globalization.
