Bringing together scholars from Russia, the United States and Europe, this collection of essays is the first to explore the slippery phenomenon of post-Soviet nostalgia by studying it as a discursive practice serving a wide variety of ideological agendas. The authors demonstrate how feelings of loss and displacement in post-Soviet Russia are turned into effective tools of state building and national mobilization, as well as into weapons for local resistance and the assertion of individual autonomy. Drawing on novels, memoirs, documentaries, photographs and Soviet commodities, Post-Soviet Nostalgia is an invaluable resource for historians, literary scholars and anthropologists interested in how Russia comes to terms with its Soviet past.

This book examines a wide range of contemporary Russian writers whose work, after the demise of Communism, became more authoritative in debates on Russia’s character, destiny, and place in the world. Unique in his in-depth analysis of both playful postmodernist authors and fanatical nationalist writers, Noordenbos pays attention to not only the acute social and political implications of contemporary Russian literature but also literary form by documenting the decline of postmodern styles, analyzing shifting metaphors for a “Russian identity crisis,” and tracing the emergence of new forms of authorial ethos. To achieve this end, the book builds on theories of postcoloniality, trauma, and conspiracy thinking, and makes these research fields productively available for post-Soviet studies.

Victor Pelevin is one of the most widely read and debated writers to emerge from the post-Soviet world, yet his work speaks far beyond it. This volume offers the first in-depth account of Pelevin as a simultaneously post-Soviet and global author, demonstrating how his fiction mediates between local experience and global, even cosmic systems of power, control, and belief. Moving beyond readings that cast him either as a postmodernist chronicler of the post-Soviet condition or fully assimilate him into familiar Western paradigms, the contributors demonstrate how his writing constantly navigates between these frameworks. Pelevin’s novels and stories explore a world shaped by multinational capitalism, digital networks of communication, conspiracy thinking, and metaphysical doubt, while remaining firmly rooted in the experience of the post-Soviet transformation. Bringing together international scholars, the volume offers complementary and critical perspectives on Pelevin’s literary qualities, evolving concerns, and the shifting politics of his prose, integrating works that have never been translated. Taken together, the contributions to this volume present Pelevin as a writer who can be read as iconoclastic, polemical, conformist, or self-reflexive. Yet above all, Pelevin emerges as a writer who is uniquely attuned to the contemporary zeitgeist.
