    Gennady Kretinin Gennady Kretinin This article considers the problematic issue of the prehistory of the Kaliningrad ON THE PERIODISATION region. The author analyses different ap- proaches to the periodisation of the East OF THE BATTLE Prussian offensive, delimits the periods of its stages and determines the date of the FOR EAST PRUSSIA termination of the operation. IN 1944—1945 Key words: history, Kaliningrad region, war, operation, phases of war, of- fensive, East Prussia, Pillau, spit, Frische Nehrung, strait. The history of the Kaliningrad region goes back to April 7, 1946. On that day, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued the decree “On the establishment of the Königsberg region within the RSFSR”. On July 4, 1946, Königsberg was renamed Kaliningrad and the Konigsberg region be- came the Kaliningrad region [1, p. 469]. The western-most region of the Russian Federation has a rich military pre-history. Despite the long time that has passed since the end of the Sec- ond World War, the history of the war is in the focus of attention in Kalinin- grad. The discussion centres on political, sociocultural, demographic, and, of course, military issues. One of such issues is the controversy over the beginning and end of the military operation in East Prussia and the phases of the 1945 East Prussian Offensive per se. Military science has the term “periodisation of war”, which means the division of a war into markedly different phases. Each phase has certain content; different phases are distinguished by the form of military actions; the time framework marks the turning points in the course of a war according to the objective and character of the latter [2, vol.

  • Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945
    Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 By Charles David Shaw A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor Professor Victoria E. Bonnell Summer 2015 Abstract Making Ivan-Uzbek: War, Friendship of the Peoples, and the Creation of Soviet Uzbekistan, 1941-1945 by Charles David Shaw Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Yuri Slezkine, Chair This dissertation addresses the impact of World War II on Uzbek society and contends that the war era should be seen as seen as equally transformative to the tumultuous 1920s and 1930s for Soviet Central Asia. It argues that via the processes of military service, labor mobilization, and the evacuation of Soviet elites and common citizens that Uzbeks joined the broader “Soviet people” or sovetskii narod and overcame the prejudices of being “formerly backward” in Marxist ideology. The dissertation argues that the army was a flexible institution that both catered to national cultural (including Islamic ritual) and linguistic difference but also offered avenues for assimilation to become Ivan-Uzbeks, part of a Russian-speaking, pan-Soviet community of victors. Yet as the war wound down the reemergence of tradition and violence against women made clear the limits of this integration. The dissertation contends that the war shaped the contours of Central Asian society that endured through 1991 and created the basis for thinking of the “Soviet people” as a nation in the 1950s and 1960s.

  • Warsaw Pact Mobilization and Reinforcement
    0 APPROVED FOR RELEASE - HISTORICAL COLLECTION DIVISION HR70-14 DATE: 07-18-2012 Interagency Team on . Mobilization and Reinforcement of the Verification Panel Working Group for MUTUAL AND BALANCED FORCE REDUCTION WARSAW PACT MOBILIZATION AND REINFORCEMENT SR JS 71-2 February 171 ET The Report in Brief 1. The Objective This report is an interagency assessment of the organization,.operation, and size of a Soviet and East European mobilization and reinforcement in an- ticipation of imminent hostilities against the Central Region of NATO. The work underlying this report has concerned itself primarily with the mobilization and movement of forces from the USSR (Baltic, Carpathian, and Belorussian military districts). The report was prepared in accordance with the directions and guidance of the Verification Panel Working Group for MBFR and the Staff of the National Security Council. 2. Mobilization From an examination of all available intelligence on the mobilization requirements, procedures, and potential capabilities of the USSR and of the East European nations, we conclude that there are no serious obstacles to the rapid peacetime mobilization of the force with which the USSR would seek to reinforce against the NATO Central Region. The Findings: There is good evidence that the Warsaw Pact would seek to create a five-front force of some 1.3 million men for a campaign in Central Europe. The five fronts would contain 20 field armies, 83 divisions, and five tactical air armies. To build this force, some seven Soviet field armies containing 25 divisions plus three Soviet tactical air armies would be brought from the USSR. This reinforcing Soviet force could be filled out in one to two days with some 200,000 men and 50,000 major items of equipment.

  • Robertson and Malinin: Two Men and Their Missions – a Cold War Footnote
    Parallel History Project on Cooperative Security (PHP) April 2007 British Commanders'-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany www.php.isn.ethz.ch Edited by Peter Williams and Leo Niedermann ________________________________________________________________________________________________ Robertson and Malinin: Two Men and Their Missions – A Cold War Footnote Peter Williams In contrast with some other wars, the aftermath of the Second World War in Europe was the subject of long debate and detailed preparation by the Allies, in this case by the Big Three (UK, USA & USSR). One requirement that was foreseen by the European Advisory Commission was the need for effective liaison between the Allied high commands: ‘Each commander-in-chief in his zone of occupation will have attached to him military, naval and air representatives of the other two commanders-in-chief for liaison duties’1. For reasons that remain unclear the first of the agreements to set up reciprocal military liaison missions (MLMs) was not finalised until 16th September 1946, when the ‘Agreement regarding the Exchange of Military Liaison Missions between the Soviet and British Commanders- in-Chief of Zones of Occupation in Germany’ was signed in Berlin2. This brief and rather unremarkable document was long on administrative details, but short on specific taskings for these MLMs3. Whether this was intentional is uncertain, but the text was to remain unamended until the Missions ceased to be operational on 2nd October 1990, the eve of German unification. By tradition the document was known by the name of the senior officers who signed it and so it was always described as the Robertson-Malinin Agreement (RMA).

During my visits in Russia to research in the former Soviet archives it was not possible to see the origi- nal plans for operations. It was pointed out to me that the "ground level vegetation" is still the same in the border areas of Russia and Finland. This, of course, was a friendly way of saying to me that the legislation still forbids of giving those materials for researchers.

Here, I consider textbooks not only as a source of knowledge about the past times, but first and foremost as a tool to cre- ate the state’s historical policy. I examine the GPW, in turn, as a fundamental myth of the Russian society which—without any doubt—constitutes one of the main pillars of identity of modern Russians. Another subject of this study is the chang- es in Russian education that took place in 2013-2015, that is during the presidency of Vladimir Putin. In so doing, I focus primarily on the creation of the concept of a new educational and methodological complex for teaching national history and the introduction of new national history textbooks (the idea of the so-called “single textbook”). I strive to show in the article that the picture of the GPW in the new textbooks is mainly based on success—of the Red Army, the Union of Soviet So- cialist Republics and the Soviet nation.

Glantz A Paper Presented as the 20th Anniversary Distinguished Lecture at the Strom Thurmond Institute of Government and Public Affairs Clemson University October 11, 2001 Clemson, South Carolina Colonel (Ret) David Glantz Expert on the Russo-German War A Leading world expert on the Russo-German War. Colonel Glantz discusses the many aspects of the war that have been neglected. * The current state of historiography and archival access, * a brief sketch of the 40 percent of the war that has gone unreported, * some of the ongoing controversies associated with the war, * the legacies of the war on the current Russian psyche, and * the need for more historians willing and able to work in the field. Colonel Glantz earned degrees in modern European history from the Virginia Military Insti- tute and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is a graduate of the Defense Language Institute, the US Army Institute for Advanced Russian and Eastern European Studies, the US Army Command and General Staff College and the US Army War College.

  • Glantz Soviet Military Operations During the Soviet-German War 1941-45 As Indicators of the USSR’S Postwar Territorial Ambitions and International Influence
    Glantz Soviet Military Operations during the Soviet-German War 1941-45 as Indicators of the USSR’s Postwar Territorial Ambitions and International Influence 研究会記録 Soviet Military Operations during the Soviet-German War 1941-45 as Indicators of the USSR’s Postwar Territorial Ambitions and International Influence David M. Glantz Defining the Question Recent research on military operations the Soviet Army conducted during the Soviet-German War (1941-45) and the Soviet-Japanese War (August-September 1945), together with new Russian archival releases, indicate that Josef Stalin, Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars and Generalissimo of the Soviet Union, sought territorial acquisitions and the expansion of the USSR’s foreign influence to a far greater degree than formerly believed. Research demonstrates that, as early as February 1943 and to a vastly increased extent thereafter, Stalin orchestrated Red Army offensive actions designed not only to restore the territorial integrity of the prewar Soviet Union but also to extend Soviet control or influence over other territories external to its prewar boundaries. Further, in the winter campaign of 1945, Stalin’s insistence on accomplishing these goals prompted him to alter existing strategic plans fundamentally in order to exploit unanticipated opportunities afforded by sharply altered diplomatic circumstances. Admittedly, since important Soviet archival materials remain to be released, this study is inherently incomplete. However, the facts and patterns the study identifies leave no doubt about the fundamental premise; that is, for whatever reason, Stalin’s program for aggrandizing Soviet power in the postwar world was indeed genuine. The First Period of the War, 22 June 1941-18 November 1942 Of necessity, as he orchestrated military operations during the first period of the Soviet-German War, Stalin’s actions and strategic intent were governed largely by defensive concerns.

  • 1996 US-Russia Joint Commission on Pows/Mias
    This document was compiled and edited by https://www.b24.net towards this objective are set forthunder the World War II Working Group section below. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS WORLD WAR II WORKING GROUP The World War II Working Group (WWII WG) has conducted extensive research into the measures undertaken by both the Soviets and Americans in 1944 and 1945 to plan for, document and account for prisoners of war liberated by each side: The efforts of the working group have been based almost entirely on historical records which have been found in Russian and Americanarchives. Thousands of pages of documents have been exchanged by the two sides of the working group. The principal focus of the U.S. side of the working group has been to research and analyze the wartime experience of American prisoners of war liberated from German POW camps by the Soviet Red Army. In its comprehensive report, the U.S. side of the WWII WG provides a detailed analysis of the historical record regarding the numbers of U.S. POWs freed from the German camps in the Soviet zone of occupied Germany. Research completed thus far by the WWII WG confirmsthat over 28,000 U.S. prisoners of war were repatriated under extremely chaotic and stressfulcircumstances from Soviet occupied territory during the final months of World War II. Information collected to date by the working group indicates that American servicemen were not held against their will as a matter of Soviet policy. However, as General Volkogonov noted on several occasions, at the end of World War TI the repatriation of some American servicemen with Slavic, Baltic or Jewish names was delayed because of their 6 C CAMPS LIBERATED LATE BY SOVIETS, OR BY US AND SOVIET..'} C.l.
