Marlene Laruelle

In her latest work, currently in the writing stage, Marlene Laruelle explores what she calls "Russia’s ideological grammars"; that is, the overarching frameworks of legitimacy through which one apprehends the world. Laruelle argues that the Russian state has developed several repertoires––or grammars––of power whose articulations remain in constant flux, even in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine, which has seen a rigidification of ideological production.
