The articles in this collection offer a postcolonial perspective on Baltic societies and cultures - that is, a perspective sensitive to the effects of Soviet colonialism. The colonial situation is typically sustained by the help of colonial discourses which carry the pathos of progress and civilization. In Soviet colonial discourse, the pathos of progress is presented in terms of communist value systems, which developed certain principles of the European Enlightenment and rearticulated them through Soviet ideology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection explores the establishment of Soviet colonial power structures, but also strategic continuities between Soviet and Tsarist rule and the legacy of Soviet colonialism in post-Soviet Baltics. Soviet norms and rules, imposed upon the Baltic borderlands, produced new forms of transculturation, gave birth to new cultural 'authenticities, ' and developed complex entanglements of colonial, modern and national impulses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnalyses of colonial patterns in Soviet and post-Soviet Baltic societies helps bring us closer to understanding the Soviet legacy in the former Soviet borderlands and in present-day Russia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters were originally published in a special issue of the \u003cem\u003eJournal of Baltic Studies. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEpp Annus\u003c\/strong\u003e is a lecturer at Ohio State University and a senior researcher with the Estonian Literature Museum.
