Book Synopsis
Featuring a number of pioneering essays by the internationally known Russian cultural historians Boris Uspenskij and Victor Zhivov, this collection includes a number of essays appearing in English for the first time. Focusing on several of the most interesting and problematic aspects of Russia’s cultural development, these essays examine the survival and the reconceptualization of the past in later cultural systems and some of the key transformations of Russian cultural consciousness. The essays in this collection contain some important examples of Russian cultural semiotics and remain indispensable contributions to the history of Russian civilization.

Trade Review
“For anyone concerned with or interested in the topic of cultural development in Russia, particularly during the monarchy, this book would be invaluable, providing as it does in-depth information on the developments and transformations in Russian history, culture, politics, customs and traditions. “Tsar and God” and Other Essays in Russian Cultural Semiotics is likely to become a primary reference source for future research in the study of the historical transformation of the Russian state and Russian society.”
— Professor Ayse Dietrich, Middle East Technical University, in the International Journal of Russian Studies, Issue 6, 2/2013
