Book Description
Prozorov offers a radical reinterpretation of contemporary Russian politics in terms of Agamben’s philosophy. Reconstructing Agamben’s conception of the end of history, that challenges the Hegelian thesis, Prozorov approaches post-communist Russia as a post-historical terrain, in which the teleological dimension of politics has been deactivated.
