Dr. Bogdanov will compare the cultural rhetoric displayed in present discussions about how Soviet history should be presented in new textbooks with the concept of ideal history as exemplified by Lucien Febvre of the French school of Annales. The discussion on postSoviet history textbooks is closely connected with the ongoing process of the "restoration of national pride" launched by Putin's cultural politics. Refreshments will be served.
