The article focuses on the production of alternative knowledge. While official knowledge maintains and reproduces the hegemony of the elite, alternative knowledge is the intellectual and cultural germ of another world. Web 2.0 has provided new possibilities and improved the basis for generating, sharing and disseminating alternative knowledge. However, in order to have a social impact, alternative knowledge needs to undergo a socialization process and to have driving forces behind it. Normally, these tasks are accomplished by social movements. The author argues that social movements in the West and the ex-Soviet region differ substantially in the nature of knowledge they produce and bring into the public space. Latvia is in an anomalous situation because the complete absence of social movements reduces the country's ability to find alternatives and new perspectives. In periods of crisis and emergency situations, the lack of such an ability can have tragic consequences.

This study deals with the issues of political socialisation and the contents of political literacy within the framework of a multinational empire, using the examples of and European Russia during the period 1875-1917/18. The educational process is understood as communicative space for the transfer of the official vision of politics, which is analysed through textual analysis of reading books and the textbooks of history, geography, civics and homeland study and geography. The authoress has focused her attention upon several research areas: historical narration; visions of the Empire in terms of the requirement for unity; polical actors and the formation of citizen and citizenship concepts. Through their analysis she has attempted to gain an understanding of official definitions and visions of the political arena. She also touches upon the issues of cultural and mental heritage of the 'imperial' political culture in Central and Eastern Europe.
