Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to deepen the study of the 'politics of memory' by identifying how Russian state museums contribute to the creation of a historical image of Russia in the context of cultural diplomacy. Due to the difficulties of travelling to Russia throughout the research period, caused by the pandemic and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it was not possible to carry out the project based on the field research as originally planned. However, through research and analysis of museum exhibitions and the formation of collections in Japan and the Russian Empire, it has been revealed how the view of Russian history and 'tradition' has had an impact on Japan and international society to the present day.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

戦後日本でのロシア・ソ連観の形成と、ウクライナ侵攻下でロシア、ウクライナのいずれもがとりあげる「伝統」がいかに形成されたかについて、それぞれに関係するミュージアムの展示とコレクション形成の論理から明らかにすることができた。そうした成果を、一般向け啓蒙図書である巽由樹子 訳・解説『ミコラ・サモーキシュ「ウクライナの装飾文様」』（東京外国語大学出版会）として刊行し、市民向け講座を実施したことで社会に向けて還元した。事業年度終了後、「昭和のロシア」についても同様の成果公開を目指す。
