“Imagining Russian Hackers: Myths of Men and Machines” is a multi-part research initiative that seeks to study this phenomenon. We aim to combine careful and contextualized studies of the prehistories and traceable present of Russian and East European “hacker culture” with close readings of cultural depictions of hacker imaginaries from both sides of the former/revived Cold War.
