Le nouveau leader entendait faire table rase du passé, et s'employa d'emblée à produire une idéologie et à refondre le droit. Soulignant l'inachèvement du projet national, son gouvernement put compter sur des appuis aux motifs divergents. Il composa avec des logiques d'action concurrentes : épurations, démonstrations de force, stratégies traditionnelles de captation de prébendes, mobilisations étudiante et syndicale, activisme catholique-réformiste, initiatives citoyennes, mais aussi repli sur la sphère privée... C'est ainsi que, peu à peu, dans un contexte de guerre froide, se constituèrent les règles et se dessinèrent les stratégies individuelles qui fournirent un ancrage à une nouvelle forme de vie en commun. Cette enquête portant sur la période 1952-1989 associe des approches philosophique, sociologique et anthropologique pour situer le régime castriste par rapport au nationalisme cubain, aux populismes latino-américains et aux expériences totalitaires du XXe siècle.

Summary:
Founded in 1703 by Peter the Great as Russia's westward-oriented capital and as a visually stunning showcase of Russia's imperial ambitions, has been the country's most mythologized city. Like a museum piece, it has functioned as a site for preservation, a literal and imaginative place where Russians can commune with idealized pasts. Preserving Petersburg represents a significant departure from traditional representations. By moving beyond the "Petersburg text" created by canonized writers and artists, the contributors to this engrossing volume trace the ways in which St. Petersburg has become a "museum piece," embodying history, nostalgia, and recourse to memories of the past. The essays in this attractively illustrated volume trace a process of preservation that stretches back nearly three centuries, as manifest in the works of noted historians, poets, novelists, artists, architects, filmmakers, and dramatists.
