Abstract: This article examines the reception of Edward Said’s book Orientalism in Russia. While Said made little mention of Russia, a number of scholars, including Russians abroad like Vera Tolz and Alexander Etkind, have examined Russian Orientalism according to Said’s schema. As for Russia itself, the book remains relatively understudied. I explain why Said has been largely ignored in Russia, as well as the appropriation of his ideas by the nationalist right.
