Abstract

When the Soviet Union collapsed and was replaced by fifteen independent republics, each country began to cultivate a unique perspective on their national history, especially the Soviet period. However, Western study of post-Soviet national memory is largely limited to a focus on Russia and the Baltics states. Less studied is the way in which the Caucasian and Central Asian states have framed their national histories vis-a-vis the USSR. This paper takes Kazakhstan as a case study and shows how this country has processed, displayed, and interpreted Soviet history in its museums.
