Varia: Postsowieckość ≠ postkolonialność ≠ postimperialność, czyli co robić po końcu historii?
Varia: Post-sovietness ≠ Post-coloniality ≠ Post-imperiality, or What to Do after the End of History?

Summary/Abstract: The article contemplates social and cultural consequences of the fall of communism as the dominating socio-political ideology and some attempts to fill up the ideological void left by the withering dogmas of the previous regime. One of the discourses, whose premises seem applicable to the post-soviet reality, is post-colonial theory. However, its immediate application does not seem possible for the variety of geo-political reasons which result in a sense of ideological disappointment turning Russians into new subalterns, devoid of their former imperialist pride and uncertain of their status in the globalized and still globalizing world.
