Many of the slave labourers had been Red Army POWs, who were forced to construct the V-I and V-2 rockets in the enormous tunnels dug into the Hartz Mountains. When the prisoners became too weak to work, they faced the gas chamber or the rope: weekly hangings were a feature at Nordhausen. (photo taken by Staff Sergeant James T. O'Neal, 690th Field Artillery.) Plate 2 In October 1941 the Wehrmacht used the dead bodies of Red Army soldiers as planks as their drive to Moscow bogged down in what Russians call the rasputitsa. Two months later these corpses would have been stripped of their boots and warm clothing by frozen German soldiers, whom the overconfident Hitler had not prepared or fitted out for the cruel Russian winter. Plate 3 Lithuanian civilians beat Jews in the summer of 1941 while German soldiers watch. On June 28, in Kaunas (called Kovno under Polish rule between the two world wars) local police joined with released convicts to search out and beat Jews to death with iron bars. On this one day several hundred were murdered. ix x List of Maps and Plates Plate 4 On 30 June 1941, only a week after their invasion of the Soviet Union, the Germans entered Lvov. Within hours, mobs of Ukrainians began combing the city's streets and houses for Jews. Here a Jewish girl, stripped and raped, appeals to the camera for help. Other Jews were murdered in their homes, or beaten to death in the streets. The Metropolitan of the Ukrainian Catholic Church issued a proclam­ ation against the killings, but to no avail. Plate 5 In the Latvian town of Daugavpils (which had been called Dvinsk under Polish rule) the Germans trapped more than 16000 Jews by the rapidity of their advance. Here women and girls have been forced to strip naked before they are killed by an Einsatzgruppe detachment staffed by Latvian auxiliaries. Plate 6 At Kiev, in September 1941, a million Soviet soldiers were surrounded, in part due to the ineptitude of Marshal Budyonny, one of Stalin's cronies. Budyonny himself was flown out to safety, leaving his troops to fight on until they ran out of ammunition. Over 600000 Soviet men and women were taken captive in the worst defeat in military history. Out of a given 1000, fewer than 30 would return to see their country again. Two members of a women's battalion wait disconsolately, trying to guess at what lies ahead. Plate 7 The German Army offered some of its millions of Red Army prisoners a devil's bargain: death, whether immediate or more slow and painful in a camp - or collaboration as Hilfsfreiwilliger ('Hiwis'), that is, labourers, cooks, servants and other auxiliary jobs. An estimated 1.5 million Soviet soldiers accepted, including these three men. Plate 8 On a Moscow street in late October 1941, NKVD troops check for 'spies, enemy agents and agitators'. Panic gripped the city and what was called the 'Great Skedaddle' had begun on 15 October, with the Party machinery and the citizenry fleeing in disorder. Once his exploratory offer of a separate peace met with silence, Stalin declared martial law on 20 October, and brought in 'special purpose' (osobogo naznacheniya) NKVD troops to restore order. Notorious for their cruelty, they shot or imprisoned citizens on the slightest pretext. Plate 9 Greeting cards, badges, stamps and coins are the low end of the scale in Soviet iconography of the Great Patriotic War. However, their wide use indicates the Party's determination to spread its official List of Maps and Plates xi image of the war by all available means. These items were readily available in Moscow in 1991. The cover of this greeting card and the embossed envelope both feature the Spassky Tower, crowned with a ruby red star, symbol of Soviet power.

  • FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS in the SOVIET UNION: a COMPARATIVE APPROACH * T~Omas E
    1967] FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN THE SOVIET UNION: A COMPARATIVE APPROACH * T~omAs E. TowE t INTRODUCTION The Soviet Constitution guarantees many of the same funda- mental rights as are guaranteed in the Constitution of the United States, plus several others as well. Indeed, these rights are described in greater detail and appear on their face to be safeguarded more emphatically in the Soviet Constitution. However, the mere existence of constitutional provisions for fundamental rights does not necessarily guarantee that those rights will be protected. Western scholars often point to discrepancies between rhetorical phrases in the Soviet Con- stitution and actual practices in the area of fundamental rights.' Soviet legal scholars insist, however, that such criticism should be aimed instead at Western constitutions. Andrei Vyshinsky has stated that it is precisely in the area of fundamental rights that "the contra- dictions between reality and the rights proclaimed by the bourgeois constitutions [are] particularly sharp." 2 Soviet legal scholars claim that bourgeois laws are replete with reservations and loopholes which largely negate their effectiveness in protecting fundamental rights generally, and those of the working man in particular.3 There is undoubtedly some truth in both claims, for, as Professor Berman has stated, "The striking fact is that in the protection of human rights, the Soviet system is strong where ours is weak, just as it is weak where ours is strong." 4 The full impact of this statement can only be understood by comparing the different approaches which * The author wishes to acknowledge the helpful comments and suggestions of Dr. Branko M.

A work selected for publication as a Land Warfare Paper represents research by the author which, in the opinion of the editorial board, will contribute to a better understanding of a particular defense or national security issue. Publication as an AUSA Institute of Land Warfare Paper does not indicate that the Association of the United States Army agrees with everything in the paper, but does suggest that AUSA believes the paper will stimulate the thinking of AUSA members and others concerned about important defense issues.

  • Ideological and Real Socialism of My Soviet Childhood, Schooling, and Teaching: Multi-Consciousness1
    ISSN: 2325-3290 (online) Ideological and real socialism of my Soviet childhood, schooling, and teaching: Multi-consciousness1 Eugene Matusov University of Delaware, USA Abstract Through my autobiographical reflective ethnography of my Soviet childhood, schooling and teaching, I try to investigate the phenomenon of political multiple consciousness that I observed in the USSR and its development in children. In my analysis, I abstracted eight diverse types of consciousness, five of which are political in their nature. Eugene Matusov is a Professor of Education at the University of Delaware. He studied developmental psychology with Soviet researchers working in the Vygotskian paradigm and worked as a schoolteacher before immigrating to the United States. He uses sociocultural and Bakhtinian dialogic approaches to education. His recent books are: Matusov, E. (2017). Nikolai N. Konstantinov’s authorial math pedagogy for people with wings, Matusov, E. & Brobst, J. (2013). Radical experiment in dialogic pedagogy in higher education and its Centauric failure: Chronotopic analysis, and Matusov, E. (2009). Journey into dialogic pedagogy. Introduction Famous Soviet comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky commented in one of his 1970s monologue that it was very difficult to learn what exactly a Soviet person thought on any issue. He suspected that the answer could be given only through a physiological examination of the person’s body, “A person who says ‘yes’ undergoes a careful examination to check if behind this ‘yes’ is lurking hidden ‘no’. The exact answer can be achieved only by a urine test, which is very difficult to obtain from the person” (Zhvanetsky, 2001, p. 175, translation from Russian is mine). For the purpose of this investigation, I define a type of political consciousness heuristically as somewhat consistent subjectivity.

  • Jewish Behavior During the Holocaust
    VICTIMS’ POLITICS: JEWISH BEHAVIOR DURING THE HOLOCAUST by Evgeny Finkel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Political Science) at the UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN–MADISON 2012 Date of final oral examination: 07/12/12 The dissertation is approved by the following members of the Final Oral Committee: Yoshiko M. Herrera, Associate Professor, Political Science Scott G. Gehlbach, Professor, Political Science Andrew Kydd, Associate Professor, Political Science Nadav G. Shelef, Assistant Professor, Political Science Scott Straus, Professor, International Studies © Copyright by Evgeny Finkel 2012 All Rights Reserved i ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation could not have been written without the encouragement, support and help of many people to whom I am grateful and feel intellectually, personally, and emotionally indebted. Throughout the whole period of my graduate studies Yoshiko Herrera has been the advisor most comparativists can only dream of. Her endless enthusiasm for this project, razor- sharp comments, constant encouragement to think broadly, theoretically, and not to fear uncharted grounds were exactly what I needed. Nadav Shelef has been extremely generous with his time, support, advice, and encouragement since my first day in graduate school. I always knew that a couple of hours after I sent him a chapter, there would be a detailed, careful, thoughtful, constructive, and critical (when needed) reaction to it waiting in my inbox. This awareness has made the process of writing a dissertation much less frustrating then it could have been. In the future, if I am able to do for my students even a half of what Nadav has done for me, I will consider myself an excellent teacher and mentor.

  • Vestments of a Russian Bishop. a Cultural Study, W: Szata Liturgiczna, Red
    Per-Arne Bodin, Vestments of a Russian Bishop. A Cultural Study, w: Szata liturgiczna, red. Adelajda Sielepin CHR, Jarosław Superson SAC, Kraków 2016, s. 87–108. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15633/9788374386029.06 Per-Arne Bodin Stockholm Vestments of a Russian Bishop. A Cultural Study The aim of the present article is to investigate from a cultural perspective the Russian Orthodox garment tradition, particularly the bishop’s robes and dressing ritual. Its primary focus is the use and significance of these phenom- ena rather than their history. My methodology is based on Russian semiotics and the conviction that every component of a cultural tradition has something to contribute to our understanding of the entire culture. The vesting ceremony is almost identical for bishops, metropolitans or patriarchs, and it is the ritual as a whole that is of interest here. In his memoirs, the Russian émigré Bishop Johann von Gardner recalls a scene from his childhood in 1914 in which he witnessed the ceremony in the Uspenskij Cathedral in the Moscow Kremlin. Concluding the narrative he wrote much later in emigration he notes: I marveled at the structured, measured, symmetrically synchronized move- ments of the subdeacons vesting the bishops. And again, in them as well, one sensed the traditions that had been established over the centuries, something inexpressible in words, the centuries-old tradition of our pious fathers. It was expressed in everything: in the movements of the clergy, and in how the people stood in church, and in how and what the choir sang. One had the sensation that here the best of the best had been assembled.
