This article discusses two books, "Russia against modernity" by Alexander Etkind and "Memory Makers: The politics of the past in Putin's Russia" by Jade McGlynn, which examine the politics of history and the motivations behind Russia's actions in the war in Ukraine. Etkind argues that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is an assault on the principles of western modernity, while McGlynn explores how the Kremlin manipulates historical narratives to suit its own political agenda. Both books provide valuable insights into the complex factors driving the conflict and the role of historical memory in shaping Russian identity. [Extracted from the article] |
