Fortress Dark and Stern
In Fortress Dark and Stern, two distinguished historians join forces to tell what they call the “epic tale” of the Soviet homefront during World War II (1). Goldman and Filtzer, who have written important books on Soviet industry, family policy, the purges, and urban life, and who co-edited a volume about hunger during World War II, are uniquely qualified guides to this vital moment in Soviet history. Drawing on a wide range of state and party ar…
Revolution Rekindled
Polly Jones tells the story of the long-running ‘Fiery Revolutionaries’ series of biographies published by Politizdat, the most ideologically correct and connected of Soviet publishers. Jones recognises that much, if not most, of the series’ output, 156 biographies of Soviet, Russian and international revolutionaries published between 1968 and 1990, could be classified as hack work. What interests her is the series’ most experimental and popular …

The War Within
The Russian Revolution and Spanish Communists, 1931–5
The article examines connections between Spanish communists and the Russian Revolution of 1917. Focusing on the period beginning with the founding of the Second Spanish Republic in 1931, it analyzes how ‘revolutionary’ Spain not only borrowed from the Soviet experience but also became an emotional core of the international communist project. To examine these exchanges, the article investigates two topics that are often treated separately: the rev…
Christine Varga-Harris. Stories of House and Home
From 1917 to 1991, one constant in Soviet life was the shortage of adequate housing. Immediately after the revolution, the Bolsheviks tried to solve the housing problem by expropriating and subdividing bourgeois apartments, thus creating the quintessentially Soviet institution of the communal apartment (kommunalka), in which perhaps twenty or thirty tenants shared a single kitchen, bathroom, and toilet. The problem only got worse in the 1930s, as…
The Meaning of Resilience
During World War II, the Soviet media depicted children suffering as well as children actively participating in the war effort and mothers making sacrifices for them. Such mixed messages served clear political purposes, publicizing Nazi atrocities while deflecting attention from the Soviet state's failure to protect its children. Historians have tended to approach such images and stories within a framework of trauma that validates stories of chil…

Exile, Gender, and Communist Self-Fashioning
Focusing on the Soviet exile of the Spanish communist and orator Dolores Ibárruri (La Pasionaria), Lisa A. Kirschenbaum brings into dialogue two topics often treated in isolation: Soviet subjectivities and the selfunderstandings of international communists. During the Spanish civil war, the Soviet media popularized Ibárruri's performance of fierce communist motherhood. The article traces Ibárruri's efforts in exile to maintain and adapt this publ…

Remembering and Rebuilding
Remembering and Rebuilding: Leningrad after the Siege from a Comparative Perspective The paper takes as its starting point the recognition that when compared with other post-catastrophic cities, Leningrad appears to be an outlier that offers little insight into more «typical» cases. Blockaded for almost nine-hundred days, Leningrad suffered less damage to its physical plant than the iconic destroyed cities of World War II. At the same time, the c…
Introduction World War II in Soviet and Post-Soviet Memory
This essay introduces the five articles that comprise the special issue of Soviet and Post-Soviet Review on “World War II in Soviet and Post-Soviet Memory.” It highlights the variety of means employed by the contributors to explain and assess the construction, reconfi guration, and uncanny persistence of the Great Patriotic War in individual, local, and national narratives. The essay also suggests pathways for future research
A War of Images
Gender and the Construction of Wartime Heroism in Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union
During World War II, the Soviet media featured both male and female military heroes as part of an effort to mobilize the entire nation for the protection of hearth and home. The wartime hero cults inspired post-war commemoration in both the Soviet Union and in countries it `liberated' from Nazism. However, no single Communist/Soviet model of commemoration and heroism was imposed on post-World War II Eastern Europe. The relative lack of female her…
Learning To Be Soviet
The two books under review focus on the processes, meanings, and out comes of education in the Soviet Union of the 1930s as a means of illumi nating the nature not only of Stalinist schools but of Stalinism as a whole. Both take seriously the state's own claims about the centrality of education in the grand Stalinist project of creating a new society and new men and women. 1 Moreover, both align themselves with revisionist studies that have empha…
Scripting the Revolution
Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
Gender, Memory, and National Myths
In Russia, the memory of the Second World War has been at once deeply personal and profoundly political. Largely erased from official memory until Stalin's death, the story of the war became, in the 1960s, a key means of legitimizing the Soviet state. The mythic “20 million”—more recent estimates are closer to 30 million war dead—became the heart of a lasting and state-sanctioned collective memory of shared suffering, patriotism, and redemption. …
Our City, Our Hearths, Our Families
During World War II, images of mothers constituted one of the most striking-and lasting-additions to Soviet propaganda. The appearance of "Mother Russia" has been understood as a manifestation of the Soviet state's wartime renunciation of appeals to Marxism-Leninism and its embrace of nationalism. Yet "Mother Russia"(rodina-mat',more literally, the "motherland mother") was an ambiguous national figure. The wordrodina,from the verbrodit',to give b…
