David Brandenberger holds a doctorate in history (PhD.) and is professor of Russian and Soviet history in the Department of History at the University of Richmond (USA). He is also an associate researcher at the National Research University “Higher School of Economics” in Moscow. He is the author of books on the formation of Russian national identity during the Stalin era and on the infl uence that party propaganda and mass culture had on that process. In this interview, David Brandenberger discusses the arguments and methodologies that contributed to his monograph that was initially published in English and then in two Russian editions: National Bolshevism: Stalinist Mass Culture and the Formation of Modern Russian National Identity, 1931-1956 (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2002), Natsional-bol’shevizm: stalinskaya massovaya kul’tura i formirovaniye russkogo natsional’nogo samosoznaniya, 1931-1956 gg. (St Petersburg: Akademicheskiy proekt, 2009) и Stalinskiy russotsentrizm: Sovetskaya massovaya kul’tura i formirovaniye russkogo natsional’nogo samosoznaniya, 1931-1956 gg . (Moscow: ROSSPEN, 2017). Among other things, the author discusses how his thoughts on the topic of this book have evolved since its fi rst publication in light of scholarly debate and the increased availability of primary and secondary sources.

Дэвид Бранденбергер - доктор исторических наук (PhD in History), профессор российской и советской истории кафедры истории Ричмондского университета (США), ассоциированный научный сотрудник Национального исследовательского университета «Высшая школа экономики» в Москве. Автор книг о формировании русского национального самосознания в сталинскую эпоху, о влиянии на этот процесс партийной пропаганды и массовой культуры. В своем интервью Д. Бранденбергер рассказывает о содержании и научных подходах в освещении темы исследования, которая получила отражение на страницах его первой монографии, вышедшей на английском языке, - «National Bolshevism: Stalinist Mass Culture and the Formation of Modern Russian National Identity, 1931-1956» (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2002) и потом в двух российских изданиях - «Национал-большевизм: сталинская массовая культура и формирование русского национального самосознания, 1931-1956 гг.» (СПб.: Академический проект, 2009) и «Сталинский руссоцентризм: Советская массовая культура и формирование русского национального самосознания, 1931-1956 гг. (M.: РОССПЭН, 2017). Автор делится мыслями о том, как с момента появления первой монографии под влиянием проходивших дискуссий и расширения источниковой базы исследования эволюционировали его взгляды на изучаемую проблему.
