Abstract

The article traces the transition from the Soviet to the post-Soviet Russian political imaginary as it unfolds at the site of state-sponsored Russian concerts. It contends that the idea of the Russian nation is being invented by translating the Soviet political imaginary, based on the logic of time, into a political imaginary based on the geography of space. The article shows that the political imaginary of Russia does not stand on its own, but is constantly injected with references to the Soviet past, thus generating ambivalence in the collective imagination of the Russian people.

俄罗斯群众音乐会和俄罗斯政治想象

摘要

这篇文章追溯了在国家赞助的俄罗斯音乐会现场展开的从苏联到后苏联的政治想象的过渡。它认为，俄罗斯民族的思想是通过将基于时间逻辑的苏联政治想象转化为基于空间地理的政治想象而发明的。这篇文章表明，俄罗斯的政治想象力不是独立存在的，而是经常被提及苏维埃的过去，从而在俄罗斯人民的集体想象中产生了矛盾。
