“… There, Grieg discovered a fifth-to sixth-century Christian basilica, "unambiguously" demonstrating the Christian past of the area (Smirnov 2011, 211). On the ideological project of this work, see Kozelsky 2004.  Russians were not alone in this: the British drew parallels with Alexander the Great in their claims to India.…”

For the last three centuries, the ancient pathways running across the Eurasian steppe belt have fallen along the southern fringes of the Russian Empire and its proximate successors, the Soviet Union, and now the Russian Federation, as well as a constellation of post-Soviet states. There has been a long and robust research tradition about Eurasia within the Russian academic sphere-the intellectual space anchored in St. Petersburg and Moscow, but extending far beyond. The Russian school of research on ancient Eurasia, as a result of direct and regular contact with the diverse territories of the Black Sea, the western and eastern reaches of the Eurasian steppe, and Central Asia, offers a wide-angle view on historical, social, and economic developments across the sweeping territory (map 1). It is a perspective

“…Recognized as the place of baptism of Prince Vladimir Svjatoslaviç of Kiev, who embraced Orthodoxy at the end of the 10th century and who is regarded as the father of the Christianization of Russia, Crimea gained significant religious importance (Korpela, 2001: 4–5). According to the literature, Prince Vladimir was baptized in Chersonesos (or Khersones as referred to in the 2014 address), located in today’s Crimea and which has become an important Orthodox point of reference (Kozelsky, 2004: 656). After its inclusion in the Russian empire, Crimea started to serve as the base for the Russian Black Sea fleet, in this way also acquiring military importance.…”

“…In particular in the case of Russia, the Government’s official rhetoric and the Russian religious scholarship have produced the image of holy prince Vladimir as the ‘founder of the spiritual unity’ of the country (Pavković, 2017: 506). The story of holy prince Vladimir ’s conversion to Orthodoxy in Chersonesos occupies a pivotal moment in the conception of Russia’s past and has even been used in war propaganda since Crimea’s first annexation in 1783 (Kozelsky, 2004: 655). Furthermore, the story is also well known among its Orthodox followers (Kozelsky, 2004: 656).…”

This article proposes the analysis of synthetic personalization as a new approach in studying and understanding the legitimization of the Crimean annexation. Drawing upon Norman Fairclough, synthetic personalization is a discursive strategy that identifies how aspects of language, which are regarded as commonsensical and normal, have ideological power, as they can become manipulative and controlling. The application of synthetic personalization to the March 2014 address of Russian President Vladimir Putin draws the audience’s attention to traits that unify the masses and thus stimulate their individual features, in particular by relying on presuppositions. The article argues that the address legitimized the annexation of Crimea by framing the annexation as a result of a religious, military, and heterogeneous unity, which unified Crimea and Russia. The findings also question the impact of the one-sided production process and who is the actual producer of the address.

“…Already during Tsarist times museums were created to scientifically order the past, 20 and excavations were sponsored to raise national awareness. 21 These early engagements were continued in the Soviet period, and the material past was placed at the heart of identity building efforts. Material culture was mobilized as one of the key determinants in designing the maps, census and museums to create an empire consisting of manageable nationalities.…”

Despite the growing interest in post-Soviet space (the countries formerly located in the Soviet Union or its sphere of influence) in the field of memory studies, researchers have only just begun to the study how ‘things and practices’ from the past are mobilized, institutionalized and repackaged in this particular part of the world. This special collection explores how heritage is being made in a highly diverse and multicultural space where Soviet modernist conceptions of culture and identity interact with local deeply rooted attitudes as well as post-Soviet economic and political challenges.
