  How the last years of Stalin's rule led to an imperial Soviet consciousness
  
  In this nuanced historical analysis of late Stalinism organized chronologically around the main events of the period-beginning with Victory in May 1945 and concluding with the death of Stalin in March 1953-Evgeny Dobrenko analyzes key cultural texts to trace the emergence of an imperial Soviet consciousness that, he argues, still defines the political and cultural profile of modern Russia.
