How the last years of Stalin’s rule led to the formation ofan imperial Soviet consciousness

In this nuanced historical analysis of late Stalinism organized chronologically around the main events of the period — beginning with Victory in May 1945 and concluding with the death of Stalin in March 1953 — Evgeny Dobrenko analyzes key cultural texts to trace the emergence of an imperial Soviet consciousness that, he argues, still defines the political and cultural profile of modern Russia.
