Research interests
My doctoral research examined the conservative turn in Russia that occurred around 2012-2014, which led to significant changes in cultural legislation. Using a post-structuralist discourse theory framework, I analysed the emergence of Russian cultural policy in terms of hegemony, showing how a new set of relations of coercion and consent emerged in the field since 2012. Specifically, I analysed the legal and political transformation of cultural policy through which the new subject positions were established.
The thesis posits that the post-2012 transformation of Russian cultural policy is a strategic manoeuvre by the ruling elite to harness cultural mechanisms for broader political and ideological purposes, thereby shaping public consciousness and strengthening presidential authority. Putin's regime has fostered an intellectual leadership that promotes a conservative vision of the 'Russian world' and suppresses cultural diversity. This imposes state control over cultural production and the cultural economy, thereby contributing to the further consolidation of Putin's political power.
