Cossack military violence - Moscow and Chicago - Union crisis policy - Russian New Social Media - Heritage discourses
Research project
The metropolitan Cities of Moscow and Chicago stood in many ways for their nations’ path to modernity. They were places of hope and despair, of reform and revolution, of violence and civility.
PhD Project
Project of the DFG Research Unit “Military Cultures of Violence-Illegitimate Military Violence from the Early Modern Period to the Second World War” (University Potsdam)
The project is dedicated to the study of illegitimate military violence by Cossack units in the period between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the end of the Second World War. Apart from the conventional military historical investigations, this project aims to bring the Cossacks as perpetrators of violence within various military units to the forefront.
Associated research project
The project aims at analysis of the Russian-language historical channels on Telegram and its comparison with historical channels on other Russian-language media platforms (primarily Vkontakte and Instagram). It will investigate how the languages and techniques of historical narratives change in different media platforms and analyze how much they have transformed since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022.
Associated research project
Aleksandr Rusanovs current research aims at analyzing official and unofficial discourses of heritage in contemporary Russia. He analyzes how the concepts of cultural heritage are interpreted and used by official state institutions and public memorial and conservation projects. Though both of them appeal to the international definitions of cultural heritage adopted by UNESCO, their interpretations and uses vary. In the project he explores a defining role that the concept of cultural heritage has in their discourses and practices.
Post-Doc Project
The project at the Institute for Social Movements at the Ruhr University Bochum (ISB Bochum) was a sub-project in the Research Group "History of Left Politics in Germany Beyond Social Democracy and Party Communism", a cooperation between the ZZF Potsdam and the ISB Bochum from 2014-2018. At the ZZF Potsdam, it was headed by Professor Mario Keßler. Ralf Hoffrogge coordinated the doctoral program.
