papers
The 20th century cultural and political history of Russia as well as its recent political development consistently represent the most radical manifestations and, subsequently, the ultimate test of most progressive Western theories and ideologies; wherein corresponding intellectual and political practices appear as early and extreme realizations of modernity’s potentialities; potentialities that may become actual at any given moment in any given region of the world. Thus, global Slavic Studies might develop as an area of humanities exploring extreme versions and scenarios of modernity.
