Summary
This monograph provides a novel long-term approach to the role of Russias imperial legacies in its interactions with the former Soviet space. It develops Hybrid Exceptionalism as a critical conceptual tool aimed at uncovering the great powers self-positioning between East and West, and its hierarchical claims over subalterns situated in both civilizational imaginaries. It explores how, in the Tsarist, Soviet, and contemporary eras, distinct civilizational spaces were created, and maintained, through narratives and practices emanating from Russias ambiguous relationship with Western modernity, and its part-identification with a subordinated Orient. The Romanov Empires struggles with Russianness, the USSRs Marxism-Leninism, and contemporary Russias combination of feigned liberal and civilizational discourses are explored as the basis of a series of successive civilising missions, through an interdisciplinary engagement with official discourses, scholarship, and the arts. The book concludes with an exploration of contemporary policy implications for the West, and the former Soviet states themselves.
