Guardians of the Archive and the Memory of War in Soviet Films After the Thaw
This article identifies a sub-genre of the Soviet war film: a quartet of feature films released between 1964 and 1967 ( Enemy of the State , I Want to Believe , Someone Else ' s Name , and Dissenting Opinion ) that centre on unmasking former Nazi collaborators. Produced in the USSR's western borderlands during the pivotal transition from the Khrushchev Thaw to Brezhnev-era conservatism, these films served as a cultural arena for negotiating the m…
Continuity or Change? The Russo-Ukrainian War and Decolonization of Memory in Lithuania
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has been described as an “inflection” point, a “post-colonial moment” which has fundamentally reshaped identities and memory politics in Central Eastern Europe, including the Baltic states (Mälksoo 2022; Michta 2022). Is it really so? What was the transformative power of this event, as distinct from that of other epochal turns, such as the collapse of the USSR? How does this event as a “critical sit…
Slow Memory. Perspectives from Central and Eastern Europe. Introduction
The rustic turn during late socialism and the popular movement against Soviet rule
The success of mass mobilization in Lithuania against Soviet rule in the late 1980s can be attributed in part to the spread of the ethnocultural movement in the post-Stalin era. Characterized in this paper as the “rustic turn,” it began in the late 1950s with the Soviet-wide rehabilitation of kraevedenie (local area studies), part of Khrushchev’s effort to rejuvenate grassroots political participation across the USSR. In Soviet Lithuania, the reh…
Agonistic homecomings
This essay explores the relationship of trauma, memory and locality in works of autobiographical nonfiction by Daniel Mendelsohn, Rita Gabis and Julija Šukys. While the lineage of the first extends to historical victims of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe and the lineage of the latter extends (mainly) to historical perpetrators, their works are examined here as examples of third-generation Holocaust postmemory. Each reflects on the experience of w…
The Gaze of the Implicated Subject
The outbreak of communal violence against Jews catalysed by the German invasion of the USSR was long neglected by scholarship due to biases against eyewitness testimony and the opacity of local events to outside observers. A growing number of studies on the topic have recently emerged, drawing from the eyewitness testimonies of Jewish survivors and previously inaccessible Soviet archives. This article analyses the lesser-known audio-visual record…
Local Testimony and the (Un)Silencing of Sexual Violence in Lithuania under German Occupation during WWII
The memory of sexual violence in Eastern Europe under German occupation during WWII has long been silenced by the opacity of local events to outside observers, a conspiracy of silence on the issue of collaboration, and conventions on how the Holocaust should be represented. Since the collapse of the USSR, the opening of archives has stimulated the production of a large and growing literature on the nature and causes of communal violence, but with…
The Baltic Model of Civic-Patriotic History
The transition away from communist rule “no longer represents the dominant political paradigm in Eastern Europe,” according to Krawatzek and Soroka. Instead, they associate the recent rise of illib
Genealogical Writing and Memory of the Holocaust in Lithuania
Diverse works of autobiographical non-fiction on the Holocaust in Lithuania reflect a pattern of generational memory familiar to students of German historical memory, but with key differences. Cold War taboos against discussions of local participation in the Holocaust delayed the appearance of second-generation Holocaust memory until the post-Soviet 1990s, such that it coincided with the natural emergence of third-generation memory. This overlapp…

Sovietizacija ir kinas
[only abstract in English; full article and abstract in Lithuanian] This article analyzes post-war Sovietization through the prism of the first feature film made in Soviet Lithuania – Marytė – directed by Vera Strojeva and released in 1947, revealing the intention, process and outcome of propaganda in the newly occupied society under Stalinism. As the culture of cinema was part of a broader ideological endeavor, the analysis of this film helps to…
L'imbrication des expériences historiques. La mémoire de la déportation des Juifs lituaniens par les Soviétiques
Le retour de la mémoire pendant le mouvement populaire de la fin des années 1980 porta sur les crimes du Stalinisme, pas sur l'Holocauste. On considéra que les premiers concernaient la mémoire et l'identité lituanienne, le second uniquement les Juifs. Cette opposition diminue depuis une décennie à mesure que l'on prend conscience de l'imbrication des expériences historiques, notamment de la collaboration des Lituaniens de souche avec les nazis et…

The Sovietization of Lithuania after WWII
This article approaches the Sovietization of the Baltics in the light of two critical notions developed by the noted Latin American critic Angel Rama: “narrative transculturation” and “the lettered city.” By revisiting key moments in the development of Soviet Lithuanian culture and intellectual class against a backdrop of forced collectivization, urbanization, and modernization, the article aims at a novel interpretation of what Sovietization mea…

The postcommunist politics of truth and justice in the Baltic states, a complex and controversial topic by any standard, are skillfully dissected and analyzed in this well-balanced monograph, the d

Shalamov’s Memory
Varlam Shalamov’s Kolyma Tales, known for their laconic style and deep pessimism, defy an easy generic categorization as short stories or memoirs. As an alternative, I read Shalamov’s prose as an unconscious revival of the classical and medieval “art of memory” by tracing the elaboration of typographical (the taiga as text) and topographical (the taiga as tomb) metaphors of memory in Kolyma Tales. The analysis of the stories is supplemented by a …
