Fall of a New Soviet-Jewish Person
The paper examines the unmaking of an exemplary individual in Stalin's Soviet Union, a New Soviet Person, caught in the anti-Jewish campaign of Stalin's last years, often remembered for the notorious Doctors’ Plot. Aleksandr Litinskii was a Soviet true believer, a veteran of the Second World War, and a Jew whose father died in the Holocaust. When confronted with the anti-Jewish campaign, he was not disillusioned but decided to save the Soviet pro…
AI as a Historical Lens
Chronology is an important framing mechanism in history and changes significantly based on who defines historical eras. The area studies field has recently grappled with the need to decenter perspectives and reconsider the sources that scholars use. This article uses deep learning artificial intelligence methods to process 169,634 images from the Russian State Documentary Film and Photo Archive (RGAKFD), a major archive of photography in the regi…

Aggregate Treason
This article is an analysis of metadata from 955 closed trials of Soviet people accused of being collaborators during World War ii . The trials reveal Soviet officials’ understandings of who was capable of collaboration and what kinds of acts were collaboration. At the same time, the aggregate data from trials demonstrates that the accusations were grounded in the realities of the war and were not falsifications like the investigations of the Gre…
Larry E. Holmes. Stalin’s World War II Evacuations
After Germany and its allies invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, millions of people went east to the Soviet hinterland. Some fled the violence independent of Soviet authorities, while others took part in organized or even forced evacuations. Stalin’s World War II Evacuations: Triumph and Troubles in Kirov, by Larry E. Holmes, follows the evacuees and the institutions responsible for them to east-central Russia’s Kirov Province. The book is the…
Ambiguous Homecoming
In 1944–46, five million Soviet citizens returned from displacement to the USSR. They had been forced labourers, refugees from conflict, and prisoners of war in occupied Europe. As they returned, all faced official scrutiny and some were arrested, but the majority of Soviet repatriates went home and not to the Gulag. Repatriation was not an episode of mass repression perpetrated by an all-powerful state. Instead, recently declassified archival co…

Burying the Alliance
In 1945 Europe was a vast graveyard. The diaspora of the dead was perhaps most prominent in Germany, where the dead of the four occupying forces were spread across the country. As the allies worked through the postwar settlement with Germany, they considered another pressing question: How to treat the dead? The case of occupied Germany highlights different approaches to commemoration. Soviet officials commemorated the war dead as symbols of the c…
Rural Russia on the Edges of Authority
Central Russia's Riazan ́ province was on the front lines of World War II for two weeks in late 1941. Placed between German and Soviet forces, the province was on the edges of authorities' ability to exert full control over the region. In that time, Soviet power dissolved in the countryside. Peasants raided warehouses and dismantled collective farms while enterprising local notables aided the embryonic occupation regime. Documents created during …
Remembering war, remaining Soviet
World War II held and retains a unique place in Soviet and post-Soviet historical memory. Scholars have generally studied the legacy of the war from the perspective of political and cultural elites. This article uses Russian digital commemoration to assess contemporary memory of World War II from a social perspective. A macroanalysis of I Remember, an interview and social networking site, and Pomnite Nas!, a site with user-contributed listings of…

Class Dismissed? New Elites and Old Enemies among the "Best" Socialist Youth in the Komsomol, 1934-41
This article focuses on important facets of recent literature in Russian and Eurasian studies-the impact of Stalinism on Soviet socialism, the role of class in the USSR, and youth. The immediate topic of the paper is membership policy in the Young Communist League (Komsomol) in the early period of Soviet socialism. It argues that the introduction of meritocratic, supposedly class-blind membership policies in 1935-36 created significant tensions i…

Stan Bernstein reviews World Population Policies , by John F. May
Targeting Access to Reproductive Health
Unmet need for contraception represents a major failure in the provision of reproductive health services and reflects the extent of access to services for spacing and limiting births, which are also affected by personal, partner, community and health system factors. In the context of the Millennium Development Goals, family planning has been given insufficient attention compared to maternal health and the control of sexually transmitted infection…

ICPD Goals
The year 2005 is a pivotal year for ensuring that sexual and reproductive health are fully addressed in the implementation and monitoring of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). When the MDGs were developed following the Millennium Summit in 2000 no goal was included on sexual and reproductive health for reasons that are now history. Matters that have an impact on or are components of sexual and reproductive health were included – maternal an…
Post-neonatal mortality in Rural India
In this paper we develop and test a theory of childhood mortality after the first month of life. Parents are assumed to have well-defined family size and sex composition objectives and to face severe budget constraints. In this set of circumstances, it is understandable that they will make allocative decisions that will affect the survival probabilities of children. These decisions and the environmental influences on mortality are the basic force…

Neo-natal mortality in South Asia
First-year mortality in rural Uttar Pradesh is characterized by a predominance (60 per cent) of deaths during the first month of life, of which 66 per cent are reported to be due to tetanus. This pattern is not typical of the historical experience of many developed countries and the current experience of some less developed countries where post-neo-natal mortality predominates. To examine this phenomenon, two causal models of neo-natal mortality …
