Russian post-colonial discussion in the years 2000–2018

Abstract

The article deals with two issues: research on the history of Russia in a post-colonial perspective; manifestations of Russian, imperial and colonizing ideology in contemporary essays and literature until 2018. Variants of Russian postcolonial academic thought are considered: M. Berg, A. Etkind, M. Tlostanova and others. The article also presents the literary and journalistic work of E. Limonov, A. Dugin, and A. Prokhanov, who are considered to be representatives of Russian neocolonial nationalism associated with the government policy of V. Putin.
