Publisher's Synopsis
Despite its unique ideological pathway and sizeable community, the socio-political context of archaeology in Russia and the former Soviet world remains relatively unexplored. Post-Soviet Heritages provides an analysis of the socio-political enmeshment of archaeology and heritage in Russia's resource colony: Siberia. Exploring indigenous communities, minority groups, governance models and the political and cultural use of cultural heritage this book fills a large gap in our understanding of Russian archaeology and heritage.
