Topic | RUSSIA’S CULTURAL LANDSCAPES IN HISTORICAL ASPECT |
| Summary | The article discusses the main discourses of the politics of memory about the era of political repression that developed in Russia in the 1990–2010s (official, liberal, orthodox). Features of the process of understanding the events of the late 1920s — early 1950s are considered in the concept of “trauma” (S. A. Oushakin, Z. Bogumil) and “post-memory” (M. Hirsch) on the example of thematic Internet projects (virtual Gulag museum, “Immortal Barak”, “Letters of the Enemies of the People”, “Memorial” and “Thomas” websites). Particular attention is given to the analysis of the language of each of them, to the defi nition of semantic constructions through which the memory politics of this era is formulated. Representatives of the liberal approach use virtual space most actively and inventively. Orthodox and offi cial memory politics projects on the era of political repression are characterized by fragmentation, situationalism and optional character. The analysis of thematic Internet projects suggests that the media space of the politics of memory in relation to the political repression era has a great potential, including the formation of coordinated narratives about this era and, accordingly, overcoming collective trauma. | ||
