Imperial Russia

louisem@ias.edu

Research Statement: In my project I am exploring how tsarist Russia’s archeologists constructed an “imperial imaginary”; by this I mean, how they generated a set of values and symbols that allowed subjects of the Russian tsar to recognize themselves as members of a multi-national, multi-confessional empire whose roots stretched back not just centuries, but millennia.
