后苏联时代的俄罗斯符号政治

The Politics of Symbols in Post-Soviet Russia

随着苏联政权的崩溃,俄罗斯新的统治者面临着这样的问题:如何处置那些体现苏联时代的符号?如何采取措施与过去切割?然而关键是需要一种新的叙事。尤其是当政治发生剧变时,新的叙事就更为必要了。在叶利钦时期,由于采取强烈的反共姿态,最大程度地否认苏联时代对俄罗斯的经历有任何积极的贡献,结果,以此为基础的叙事受到俄罗斯社会诸多派别的反对,引发了激烈的政治争论。新的叙事应该在全面研究苏联历史、对苏联时期作出有意义的阐述的基础上形成。这种有意义的、具有连贯性的叙事,能够为后苏联时期的俄罗斯提供合法性的长期基础。

With the collapse of the Soviet regime, Russian new rulers faced such questions as how to deal with those symbols reflecting the Soviet era？ How to take measures to cut with the past？ However, the key is a new narrative. Especially when political upheavals occurred, new narratives are all the more necessary. During the Yeltsin era, a strong anti-communist stance was adopted and any positive contribution of the Soviet era to Russia was denied to the greatest extent. Therefore, the narrative based on this has been opposed by various factions of Russian society, resulting in heated political debates. New narratives should be formed on a basis of comprehensively exploring the Soviet history and making meaningful elaborations for the Soviet era. This meaningful and consistent narrative can lay a long-term foundation for the legitimacy for Russia in the post Soviet era.
