SUMMARY:WEEKLY COLLOQUIUM: Anatoly Reshetnikov — Chasing Greatness: Exploration into a Conceptual History of Russia’s Great Power Discourse
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nOver the last two and a half decades\, it has become clear that Russia insists on its great power status\, even at considerable cost. It has also demonstrated its readiness to back up its great power rhetoric with aggressive military action\, both in its immediate neighborhood and in other regions. Why is the idea of being a great power so important to Russia that it maintains this position even at the cost of international isolation and heavy Western sanctions? \nIn this presentation\, Anatoly Reshetnikov provides an interpretive explanation of the tacit rules that shape Russia’s great power identity today\, drawing primarily on his recent book published by the University of Michigan Press. In the book\, Reshetnikov argues that this ongoing pursuit of greatness results from how Russia and its predecessors\, including the USSR\, the Russian Empire\, Muscovy\, and Kievan Rus’\, historically interacted with their neighbors to the east\, the south\, and especially the west. The presentation and the book are based on the analysis of an extensive body of original source material\, including diplomatic correspondence\, programmatic political speeches\, ideological manifestos\, political journalism\, as well as ancient and early modern Russian religious literature. \nThe main ambition is to reconstruct a millennial history of the Russian concepts that express political greatness. The author also examines numerous encounters between Russia and the West\, as well as Russia’s troubled integration into the European society of states in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries\, to show how these concepts have shaped Russia’s interaction with international society. \nDespite their historical depth\, neither the book nor the presentation is a conventional work of history. Rather\, it is a synthetic social science project inspired by the continental tradition of the critical history of modernity. As such\, the presentation focuses more on the present than on the past. Its main aim is to expose and explain the conceptual foundations behind Russia’s persistent great power rhetoric\, both domestic and international\, and how this rhetoric drives current international crises involving Russia. \nSpeaker bio: \nAnatoly Reshetnikv is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at Webster University in Vienna\, Austria. He holds a PhD in Political Science from Central European University. Previously\, he was a visiting researcher at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London and at Lund University. His research has been published in the European Journal of International Relations\, Security Dialogue\, Journal of International Relations and Development\, and Nationalities Papers\, among other academic journals. He is the author of Chasing Greatness: On Russia’s Discursive Interaction with the West over the Past Millennium (University of Michigan Press\, 2024). Reshetnikov also serves as an Associate Editor of New Perspectives\, an interdisciplinary journal focusing on Central and Eastern Europe. \nClick here to join via ZOOM \nFollow us on social media to stay informed about upcoming events: \nInstagram | Bluesky | LinkedIn \n
