Summary
This course offers an exploration of the evolution of cultural policy in Russia, examining its organisational features and approaches to cultural governance across three distinct political regimes: the total control of culture during Stalin's rule, the liberal state during the post-Soviet period, and the authoritarian state under Putin's leadership. By analysing cultural legislation, the role of ideology and the dynamics of cultural memory and subversion, students will understand how cultural policy shapes and is shaped by the political landscape.
