Сборник Статей

This book presents an unusual view of the cultural life of present day Russia from the perspective of theoretical geography. How is everyday space structured? What was the space of the USSR and what is happening to it now? What is new about its space and what stays the same? How does modern Russia reflect its own space? According to the author Vladimir Kagansky (b. 1954), a geographer with a broad outlook, the present day Russia is a conglomerate of parts and fragments of the world`s last empire. "Soviet space" integrated the whole structure of everyday life and of the enormous country. It was not a synonym for the former USSR, but was a specific type of space: both landscape and that of meaning and indications. The book explains the phenomenon and mythology of Soviet space, the logic of the disintegration of USSR as of Soviet space, and the logic of modern regional and national politics in terms of this concept.
