Abstract

Heritage is becoming a significant element of the urban landscape of the post-socialist city. The emerging contested landscapes reflect new political identities and competition between different political actors for influence. In the 1990s, state-sovereignty movements in Russia's ethnic republics gave rise to urban projects aimed at expressing the ideas of nation building, ethnic and religious awareness and new interpretations of the past. The article explores the role of the state in creating heritage discourses and practices by using as a case study the ‘resurrection’ of the Kul-Sharif Mosque in the Kazan Kremlin in the period 1995–2005.
