Culture militaire et patriotisme dans la Russie dÂ’aujourdÂ’hui
[Military Culture and Patriotism in TodayÂ’s Russia]
Anne Le Huérou and Elisabeth Sieca-Kozlowski (Eds)
Paris: Karthala, 2008
With its commemorations celebrating bravery and heroism in combat, its exaltation of patriotism in political discourse and in the public space, its putting forward of foreign policy and the armed forces with a view to regaining the status of a great power, Russia today seems engulfed in an unprecedented wave of patriotism, whose most radical forms – the discourse on Russian « national preference », racist attacks, say nothing of the extreme violence of the Chechen conflict – are worrying. This book, a collection of articles by specialists on subjects dealing with military education, relations between the Church and the Army, the reform of the
army, the production of patriotic TV serials, strategies for the control of information, focuses on the role of the military in contemporary Russian institutions and society with particular emphasis, apart from their spectacular side, on the production, diffusion and implementation of patriotic and military discourse and initiatives.
