THE MUSEUM OF THE REVOLUTION: The Peter and Paul Fortress and Early-Soviet Memory Politics

30.11.2015
  On 10 December 2015, the International Graduate Student Workshop in Soviet History will meet at 18:00 in Room 414. We will discuss the work of Nicholas Bujalski (Ph.D. Candidate, Cornell University). In 1924, the Peter and Paul Fortress – that founding site of St. Petersburg, sacred burial ground of the imperial family, and dread prison of the Tsarist autocracy – was proclaimed a ‘Museum of the Revolution.’
