• In Event: Time, Chronologies, and Progress: Peripheral Temporalities in Eurasia

Abstract

This paper will discuss the representations of Fomenko / Nosovsky revisionist historical concepts in the Museum of New Chronology, opening in Yaroslavl in 2019. On the one hand, our questions concern the role of these representations in the construction of a new regional identity. On the other hand, our study will question various economic (interest in regional tourism) and political (interaction with the nationalist discourse of power) issues in relation to the creation of this museum.
