This special issue illustrates new horizons in Soviet studies as they have developed over the nearly 30 years since the collapse of the USSR, following the clue through this growing body of work in three keywords: memory, legacy, and empire. Memory reflects more as the distance of time or space from the given objects and phenomena grows. The idea of legacy, too, emerges after its objects come to an end and disappear. Thus, the analysis and examination of the Soviet Union in terms of memory and legacy could be introduced only after it ceased to exist in the present.The third term, empire, however, has been part of the discussion of the USSR dating back to the time before it vanished. For instance, Hélène Carrère d’Encausse’s work L’empire éclaté : la révolte des nations en U.R.S.S., first published in 1978, describes the Soviet Union as a multiethnic empire in which the central power, which inhered absolutely in the Communist Party, exercised total control over a vast space. Furthermore, it cannot be doubted that the collapse of the USSR and the Eastern Bloc in the moments immediately before and after a series of ethnic conflicts erupted within its borders expanded this discussion of the Soviet Empire. The imperial order that dominated Soviet territory, along with its regions of influence, has reemerged as an important issue. The series of studies of empire that has developed in historiography and international relations has been driving this orientation. Finally, the Soviet Union has also found its place within the umbrella of comparative studies of empires as well as an intriguing area of research.This special issue explores new horizons of research on the basis of the three concepts of the Soviet Union in memory, the Soviet Legacy, and the USSR as an empire.
