Soviet Self-Hatred: The Secret Identities of Postsocialism is the first volume of the three-book series with the unofficial title Russia’s Alien Nations. It looks at the negotiation of identity in the aftermath of the Soviet collapse. Serialization of the book was completed in 2019, and is followed by the draft blog Unstuck in Time: On the Post-Soviet Uncanny. At some time in the future, the project will be completed in a volume entitled Unidentified Russian Objects: On Soviet Melancholy.
