Rahim Rahimov joined the Cold War childhood collective memories and biography project as a political analyst. His involvement in that project eventually led him to become a researcher of one of the greatest Azerbaijani-Turkish intellectuals, Ahmet bey Agaoglu, and his legacy. Indeed, that project inspired him to childhood memory studies, which represent to him a new perspective to look into the world that has shaped us. Rahim was born in Soviet Azerbaijan, USSR but grew up in both Soviet and post-soviet independent Azerbaijan. Perhaps, as a child of the transition period, his desire to contemplate the logic of a (dis-)connection between these two worlds underlies his interest in the memory studies. His latest publication is Between Russia and Islam (Lynne Rienner Publishers, London, 2023).
