La Grande Guerre patriotique : narrations sociales et monuments de guerre
Keywords:
Russia, monuments, war, memoryAbstract
War monuments are abundant in Russia; they are
part of the landscape, while defining the terrain. Calling to the
past and bringing forth memories, they define belonging, com
memorating the past while shaping the future. Remembering a
war is a political act and, in remembering, we define our place
in our community, country and the world. Such is the case in
Eastern Europe and Russia whose territories have been invaded
many times over the centuries, which has led to development
of a selective memory, the "curation" of the nation. This article
explores memories of Russia to demonstrate how monuments
and museums of war define the past, present and dreams for
the future.
