It was a kind of upright floor-to-ceiling ceramic tile stove, the same one where Papa used to warm the eiderdown to cover me on cold winter nights. I opened the creaky door. To my astonishment inside was a gas burner instead of the coal or wooden logs we used in my time. Still caressing the cold tile stove, as if merely by touching it I could reproduce the feelings of a pampered and sheltered infancy, I collapsed into a nearby chair.

  • Svetlana Frunchak the Making of Soviet Chernivtsi: National “Re
    1 Svetlana Frunchak The Making of Soviet Chernivtsi: National “Re-unification,” World War II, and the Fate of Jewish Czernowitz in Postwar Ukraine. Dissertation abstract This dissertation is a study of the incorporation of Chernivtsi into the Ukrainian Republic of the Soviet Union. One of the several developed cities acquired by the USSR in the course of World War II, Chernivtsi (aka Czernowitz and Cernăuţi) was a onetime Hapsburg provincial capital (1774-1918) and a part of the Romanian state in the interwar period (1918-1940). Dominated by its German ―lingua franca,‖ this urban space was also equally used to the sounds of Yiddish, East Slavic, Romanian, and Polish languages up until World War II. Yet Chernivtsi emerged from World War II, the Holocaust, and Soviet reconstruction as an almost homogeneous Ukrainian city that allegedly had always longed for re-unification with its Slavic brethren. Focusing on the late Stalinist period (1940-53) but covering earlier (1774-1940) and later (1953-present) periods, this study explores the relationship between the ideas behind the incorporation; the lived experience of the incorporation; and the historical memory of the city‘s distant and recent past. Central to this dissertation is the fate of the Jewish residents of Czernowitz-Chernivtsi. This community was transformed from an influential plurality to about one per cent of the city‘s population whose past was marginalized in local historical memory. This study demonstrates a multifaceted local experience of the war which was all but silenced by the dominant Soviet Ukrainian myth of the Great Patriotic war and the ―re- unification of all Ukrainian lands.‖ When the authors of the official Soviet historical and cultural narratives represented Stalin‘s annexation as the ―re-unification‖ of Ukraine, they in fact 2 constructed and popularized, in the form of state legislation, ethnographic and historical scholarship, and cultural productions, a new concept of ―historical Ukrainian lands‖ that was never fully elaborated by radical Ukrainian nationalists.
