    Rethinking the Postwar Era: Soviet Ukrainian Writers Under Late Stalinism, 1945-1949 by Iuliia Kysla A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Iuliia Kysla, 2018 Abstract This dissertation advances the study of late Stalinism, which has until recently been regarded as a bizarre appendage to Stalin’s rule, and aims to answer the question of whether late Stalinism was a rupture with or continuation of its prewar precursor. I analyze the reintegration of Ukrainian writers into the postwar Soviet polity and their adaptation to the new realities following the dramatic upheavals of war. Focusing on two parallel case studies, Lviv and Kyiv, this study explores how the Soviet regime worked with members of the intelligentsia in these two cities after 1945, at a time when both sides were engaged in “identification games.” This dissertation demonstrates that, despite the regime’s obsession with control, there was some room for independent action on the part of Ukrainian writers and other intellectuals. Authors exploited gaps in Soviet discourse to reclaim agency, which they used as a vehicle to promote their own cultural agendas. Unlike the 1930s, when all official writers had to internalize the tropes of Soviet culture, in the postwar years there was some flexibility in an author’s ability to accept or reject the Soviet system. Moreover, this dissertation suggests that Stalin’s postwar cultural policy—unlike the strategies of the 1930s, which relied predominantly on coercive tactics—was defined mainly by discipline by humiliation, which often involved bullying and threatening members of the creative intelligentsia.

Sample Examination Paper 31 3 INTRODUCTION The years from 1880 to the present day have seen an extraordinary series of transformations in Russian history - avant-garde experimentation; the age of Revolution; the rise and gradual dismantling of Stalinist orthodoxies; the collapse of the Soviet Union' and the emergence of contemporary Russian culture on the world stage. Both aesthetically and politically, this period has been extraordinarily rich and varied. This paper covers the full range of this ‘long’ twentieth century, from the early experiments of avant-garde writers and film-makers, through the feel-good ideological texts of Stalinist Socialist Realism, to recent post-Soviet attempts to come to terms with a complex and traumatic past. In the fraught political arena of Soviet Russia, literature and culture were formed in relation to state imperatives, which could be accepted or rejected, but which were difficult to ignore. The literary and visual texts that we study in this paper provide a wide range of responses to the particular contexts of twentieth and twenty-first-century Russia, and reveal the remarkable creativity that flourished, however paradoxically, in that world.
