Andreas X Schonle is a Professor at the University of Bristol, where his research interests encompass the cultural and ideological construction of time and space in Russia during the eighteenth century. His exploration began with Russian travel literature from 1790 to 1840, focusing on the political and social narratives intertwined with landscape design in imperial Russia. His seminal work, 'Architecture Oblivion: Ruins Historical Consciousness Modern Russia' (2011), discusses the treatment of ruins throughout Russian history and their significance to various communities and subcultures. Schonle's inquiries extend to urban studies, with a specific interest in Moscow's dramatic development in recent decades. He has collaborated on projects examining the self-invention of the Russian elite in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, resulting in a forthcoming collective volume. His ongoing research investigates plural temporalities in Russia and engages with Transnational Studies, reflecting a deep commitment to understanding Russia's historical consciousness and its hybrid identities within a broader European context.
