Beskrivning
This study analyzes how public bereavement became cemented into the broad geography of Russian culture with the appearance of experiential and local memorials in the 1960s after a half century of instability, contestation, and absence. The author shows how monument builders responded to a need from the population to share an accessible war experience apart from the exclusive Bolshevik memorial culture. He argues that this development of war commemoration has amplified the role of war hero memorialization as an anchor of public stability and social solidarity in Putin’s Russia, where there is little consensus about the past, present, or future.

Recensioner i media
In War Monuments, Public Patriotism, and Bereavement in Russia, 1905–2015, Aaron J. Cohen describes a foundational feature of Russian national identity. Now, for the first time, readers can follow the engrossing story of the construction of Russian statuary of war, from the early twentieth century to current monument building under Putin. Cohen’s discussion of the memorialization of World War II is particularly compelling, and the book will be essential reading for students of Russia’s Great Patriotic War.
