Throughout its modern history, Russia has seen a succession of highly performative social acts that play out prominently in the public sphere. This innovative volume brings the fields of performance studies and Russian studies into dialog for the first time and shows that performance is a vital means for understanding Russia's culture from the reign of Peter the Great to the era of Putin. These twenty-seven essays encompass a diverse range of topics, from dance and classical music to live poetry and from viral video to public jubilees and political protest. As a whole they comprise an integrated, compelling intervention in Russian studies.Challenging the primacy of the written word in this field, the volume fosters a larger intellectual community informed by theories and practices of performance from anthropology, art history, dance studies, film studies, cultural and social history, literary studies, musicology, political science, theater studies, and sociology.

This edited volume honors the research and teaching of Dan Healey in Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies (REES). Rather than draw exclusively on those whom Dan has taught, as would a traditional Festschrift, the volume includes contributions from Dan’s former students, as well as his colleagues, who together represent several generations, diverse genders and sexualities, multiple national traditions, and a variety of academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The volume seeks to reflect the full range of Dan’s research interests, from Soviet and Russian history to the history of sexuality, medicine, and the Gulag. Essays in the volume represent different genres of writing and pay special attention to Dan’s influence in crossing, breaching, and even breaking the disciplinary, geopolitical, and generational boundaries that have defined REES since the Cold War. When taken together, the volume’s essays demonstrate how Dan’s research and teaching have not simply broadened the scope of REES overall, but just as importantly aided in current efforts to decolonize the field.The volume aims to document the full breadth of Dan’s influence, with each contributor explicitly considering the ways in which Dan’s work has had an impact on them, be it through the archives they consult or the methods and theories they employ. We have asked that contributors limit their essays to six thousand words, so that the volume may have a total of sixteen essays divided into three sections. After an introductory essay by Dan himself, the first section addresses the different methodologies that Dan’s work has inspired and includes an intellectual biography of Dan, while the second section examines how Dan’s research has illuminated the significance of everyday experience. The third and final section turns to transnational flows that transform our understanding of local histories and is followed by a conversation between Dan and Elena Gusiatinskaia, founder of Moscow’s Lesbian and Gay Archive. While a handful of essays address topics and material from contributors’ “desk drawer,” the majority of essays represent fresh research undertaken specifically with the volume in mind.
