'Introduction' and 'Broken History and Crumbling Stones: The Romantic Conception of Architectural Preservation and Its Legacy'
This cluster of articles originated in a conference on architectural preservation in Russia organized by Schönle and Catriona Kelly at Queen Mary University of London in 2008. Schönle selected three papers for publication in Slavic Review in order to provide an historical overview of preservation in Russia and illustrate the paradoxical ways in which Russia treated its past to legitimate its present. The introduction sets recent practices of heritage in Russia in the context of its subtle politics and economics globally. We enter the entire cluster to demonstrate the context in which Schönle's pieces are situated.
