This is a book about grief for the victims of Soviet repression, about the cultural mechanisms of memory and grief. The work of grief reproduces the past in imagination, texts, and rituals; it brings the dead back to life, but it is not really life. Cultural memory in the aftermath of social catastrophe is a complex environment in which victims, executioners, and witnesses of crime coexist. Among them live also quite strange creatures - vampires, zombies, ghosts. From The Historians' Case to masterpieces of Soviet cinema, from monuments to the victims of the Gulag to post-Soviet "magical historicism," Alexander Etkind's new book paints a bizarre panorama of post-catastrophe culture.
