SUMMER 2019 NEWSLETTER Baltic Leaders Celebrate Independence
SUMMER 2019 NEWSLETTER Baltic Leaders Celebrate Independence One hundred years ago, the countries of Central and Eastern Europe declared their independence amid collapsing empires. A generation of Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Poles, and others from the region set out to determine their own future and enjoyed independence until the Nazis and Soviet communists conspired in 1939 to invade and then occupy their homelands. In the 1980s, Europe’s Captive Nations led the dismantling of the Soviet Union and are once again free, prosperous, and vital members of the free world. On November 14, 2018, we convened hundreds of friends of freedom in Washington, DC’s Union Station for the Triumph of Liberty Annual Conference and Gala Dinner, to remember the vic- tims, celebrate the heroes, and commit Left to right: H.E. Tunne Kelam, founding member of the Estonian National Independence Party and laureate of VOC’s Truman-Reagan Medal of Freedom; Marion Smith, VOC executive director; H.E. Sandra Kalniete, ourselves to defending the independence leader of the Latvian independence movement and Medal of Freedom laureate; and General Peter Pace, USMC of freedom-loving people of Central and (Ret.), former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and keynote speaker at the Foundation’s annual gala dinner on November 14, 2018, at Union Station in Washington, DC.

The Role of "Homeland" in the Forging of National Identity: The Case of the Crimean Tatars BRIAN G. WILLIAMS Introduction For many political scientists and foreign policy experts the years 1989-1991 were a heady period of great international expectations. The turning of the last decade of this century promised a new era on the world stage as the Berlin Wall, which had for so long divided Europe tumbled to the ground, the European Union began work on creating a single European community sans frontiers and a "New World Order", in which borders and national differences were expected to lose their importance, appeared on the horizon. -
Free Trade Awry? on the Export of 'Double Genocide' Revisionism
DRAFT OF DOVID KATZ’S PAPER “Free Trade Awry? On the Export of ‘Double Genocide’ Revisionism” that appeared in the 2017 volume MEDIEVALES 63: De Christine de Pizan à Hans Robert Jauss Etudes offertes à Earl Jeffrey Richards par ses collègues et amis à l’occasion de son soixante- cinquième anniversaire Textes recueillis par Danielle Buschinger et Roy Rosenstein Presses du “Centre d’Études Médiévales de Picardie” Amiens 2017 413 Free Trade Awry? On the Export of ‘Double Genocide’ Revisionism DOVID KATZ (Vilnius Gediminas Technical University) PREAMBLE The fall of the Iron Curtain swiftly enabled free trade in goods and services between the nation states of Eastern Europe freed from Soviet domination with the West and much of the rest of the world. No less important was a new flow of ideas, generally on a west-to-east trajectory, including organizing principles for political processes and governments, education, media, the arts, and more, in short, models for societal structure and governance. Western mores and institutions readily took root in those nations with substantial anti-Soviet and often anti-Russian sentiments, both among the former Warsaw Pact nations, such as Poland and Hungary, and in some former Soviet republics, principally the three Baltic states, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. One common denominator was a legacy, strong by virtue of personal memory and convincingly conveyed immediate family legacy, of the facts of generally successful independent statehood in the interwar period. By contrast, new states such as Belarus and Ukraine had eastern “halves” that had been part of the Soviet Union from around the time of the Russian Revolution. -

MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History. By Siobhan K. Doucette, M.A. Washington, DC April 11, 2013 Copyright 2013 by Siobhan K. Doucette All Rights Reserved ii MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: POLISH INDEPENDENT PUBLISHING, 1976-1989 Siobhan K. Doucette, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Andrzej S. Kamiński, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation analyzes the rapid growth of Polish independent publishing between 1976 and 1989, examining the ways in which publications were produced as well as their content. Widespread, long-lasting independent publishing efforts were first produced by individuals connected to the democratic opposition; particularly those associated with KOR and ROPCiO. Independent publishing expanded dramatically during the Solidarity-era when most publications were linked to Solidarity, Rural Solidarity or NZS. By the mid-1980s, independent publishing obtained new levels of pluralism and diversity as publications were produced through a bevy of independent social milieus across every segment of society. Between 1976 and 1989, thousands of independent titles were produced in Poland. Rather than employing samizdat printing techniques, independent publishers relied on printing machines which allowed for independent publication print-runs in the thousands and even tens of thousands, placing Polish independent publishing on an incomparably greater scale than in any other country in the Communist bloc. By breaking through social atomization and linking up individuals and milieus across class, geographic and political divides, independent publications became the backbone of the opposition; distribution networks provided the organizational structure for the Polish underground. -

Crimean Tatar Diaspora and Cultural Identity Between “Yeşil Ada”
Part 2 Crimean Tatar Diaspora and Cultural Identity between “Yeşil ada”, Poland and Germany: History, Structures, Reflections by Mieste Hotopp-Riecke and Dominik Jakub Napiwodzki This article seeks to shed light on the historical relationships between Poland, Germany and the Crimean Tatars, and how these relations affect the current negotiation of Crimean Tatar identity. We try briefly to illustrate this by first addressing the genesis of historical Tatar-German-Polish relations. In the sec- ond step, we present actors and structures of the Crimean Tatar scene between Crimea and Diaspora, as it has been since returning from deportation at the end of the 1980s to the second annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014. In the last step, we look at the cultural activities of Crimean Tatars in Germany and Poland in the field of tension between “Staying in the Crimea” and “Working for a free Crimea”. The latter usually explicitly implies taking actions outside Crimea, a life in the diaspora that is sometimes more concerned with preserv- ing Crimean Tatar identity than with their Yeşil Ada (Green Island) itself. Keywords: Crimean Tatars, Crimean Tatar-German relations, Crimean Tatar Di- aspora, Crimean Tatar-Polish relations. The Tatars of Poland are an agile dynamic piece of the Polish society. While in Europe the discussions regarding the so called Euro-Islam do not come to an end, Europe has to recognize that we are here - Tatars, European Muslims - for hundreds of years in the heart of Europe!
