{"product_id":"tsars-soviets-putin-wojciech-materski-9783111625164","title":"Tsars, Soviets, Putin: A Study of Russia's Politics of Memory","description":"\u003cp\u003e Wojciech Materski's book From the Tsars to \"The Tsar\" gives a synopsis of the politics of memory \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e practiced by Russia from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century. He shows how irrespectively of \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e the period in its history, Russia's politics of memory have always been used as a tool to integrate \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e the country's inhabitants, reinforce the cult of their leader, cultivate the social attitudes and \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e stereotypes its rulers wanted the people to embrace, and relativize their mistakes and crimes.The broad perspective Materski adopts provides a very substantial supplement to earlier work on \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e the subject, or in fact takes the time range he considers much further, offering the latest, highly \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e original and thoroughly researched synthesis of Russia's politics of memory from the sixteenth to \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e the twenty-first century. These qualities, alongside the current geopolitical situation overshadowed by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, make Wojciech Materski's book an attractive offer not only for historians, political scientists, sociologists and specialists in international relations, but also for students and non-specialists looking for information on Russia's history and foreign policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wojciech Materski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3111625168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783111625164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter Oldenbourg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Wojciech Materski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526540873983,"sku":"9783111625164","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d25fefa0-fde3-4226-ac09-37e5920df9d4.jpg?v=1737556477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tsars-soviets-putin-wojciech-materski-9783111625164","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
