| Summary/Abstract |
In the regions of Central Russia, museum expositions actualize history
not only by putting it into the national context, but also by including
numerous references to the outside world. This is one of the mechanisms
by which representatives of local cultural elites, who are not directly related to the science and practice of international relations, provide guidelines
for the public understanding of world politics. Analysis based mainly on
field studies shows that the outside world simultaneously appears as both
something hostile and as a space of cooperation. “Russian antiquity” and
the Russian province are looking for conceptualization in international and
transnational perspectives, which are not always reduced to conflict.
