Résumé
Cet article explore les formes contemporaines et émergentes de la nostalgie dans la ville de Moscou. Il examine ce thème à travers le prisme de trois espaces architecturaux qui nous parlent de la nostalgie en tant que condition culturelle et temporelle spécifique, postsocialiste : le Parc des sculptures de Moscou, la cathédrale du Christ-Sauveur reconstruite et le centre commercial de la place Manezh. J’avance que ce qui est à l’oeuvre, sur le plan politique, dans ces lieux est un certain type de dé-idéologisation qui est devenue le « nouveau style » de la Russie postsoviétique. La dé-idéologisation a tourné en norme historique, en mode affective, et j’avance que c’est précisément en raison de ce processus que « l’industrie de la nostalgie » est apparue. Cet article prend l’attachement à la nostalgie au sérieux, mais plutôt que de considérer la nostalgie comme un symptôme sur un plan analytique, mon intérêt se porte sur son examen en tant que condition historique, en tant que réponse temporelle qui apparaît à un moment particulier.

Abstract
This article explores the current formations of nostalgia as they have emerged in contemporary Moscow. It examines this theme through the prism of three architectural spaces that tell us something about nostalgia as a postsocialist and specific cultural and temporal condition : Moscow’s Park of Sculpture, the rebuilt Cathedral of Christ the Savior, and the shopping mall in Manezh Square. I argue that what is politically at work at these sites is a certain kind of de-ideologization that has become “the new style” in postSoviet Russia. De-ideologization has turned into a historical norm, an affective fashion, and I argue that it is precisely because of this process that a “nostalgia industry” has emerged. This article takes the attachments of nostalgia seriously, but rather than looking at nostalgia as an analytical symptom, I am interested in examining it as a historical condition, a temporal response that emerges in a particular moment in time.
Key Words:

Resumen
Este artículo explora las formas contemporáneas y emergentes de la nostalgia en la ciudad de Moscú. Examina dicho tema a través del prisma de tres espacios arquitectónicos que nos hablan de la nostalgia en tanto que condición cultural y temporal específica post-socialista: El Parque de las esculturas de Moscú, la catedral de Cristo-Salvador reconstruida y el centro comercial de la plaza Manezh. Propongo que la causa operante, sobre el plan político, en dichos sitios es un cierto tipo de desideologización que se ha convertido en el «nuevo estilo» de la Rusia post-soviética. La desideologización se ha convertido en norma histórica, en modo afectivo, y propongo que es precisamente debido a ese proceso que ha surgido «la industria de la nostalgia». Este artículo toma en serio el apego a la nostalgia, en lugar de considerarla como un síntoma en el plano analítico y la examina en tanto que condición histórica, en tanto que respuesta temporal que surge en un momento particular.
