Friendship and politics -- Res publica in words and things -- Society and socialness -- A society of common-ism -- Self-cognition and self-fashioning in contemporary Russia -- Inspired and aspiring selves: is Russia doomed to creativity?
Summary
Marxism was the loser in the Cold War, but Oleg Kharkhordin is not surprised that liberal democracy failed to take root after the Soviet Union's dissolution. He suggests that Russians find a path to freedom by looking to the classical tradition of republican self-government and civic engagement already familiar from their history and literature.-- Provided by publisher
