  • Report by Kube on the Extermination of Jews and the Fight Against the Partisans in Belorussia
    Report by Kube on the Extermination of Jews and the Fight Against the Partisans in Belorussia Minsk, July 31, 1942 The Generalkommissar for Belorussia Gauleiter / G 507/42 g To Reichskommissar for Ostland Gauleiter Hinrich Lohse Riga Secret Re: Combating Partisans and Aktion against Jews in the Generalbezirk of Belorussia In all the clashes with the partisans in Belorussia it has proved that Jewry, both in the formerly Polish, as well as in the formerly Soviet parts of the District General, is the main bearer of the partisan movement, together with the Polish resistance movement in the East and the Red Army from Moscow. In consequence, the treatment of Jewry in Belorussia is a matter of political importance owing to the danger to the entire economy. It must therefore be solved in accordance with political considerations and not merely economic needs. Following exhaustive discussions with the SS Brigadefuehrer Zenner and the exceedingly capable Leader of the SD, SS Obersturmbannfuehrer Dr. jur. Strauch, we have liquidated about 55,000 Jews in Belorussia in the past 10 weeks. In the area of Minsk county Jewry has been completely eliminated without any danger to the manpower requirements. In the predominantly Polish area of Lida, 16,000 Jews were liquidated, in Slonim, 8,000, etc. Owing to encroachment by the Army Rear Zone (Command), which has already been reported, there was interference with the preparations we had made for the liquidation of the Jews in Glebokie. Without contacting me, the Army Rear Zone Command liquidated 10,000 Jews, whose systematic elimination had in any case been planned by us.

The purpose of this article is to present the geographic analysis of current spatial structure of the road transportation in Belarus in 2000-2014. The choice of transport mode for the article was influenced by several factors, such as historic devel- opment, network coverage, transformational changes in productivity, rapid increase in car ownership numbers, emergence of logistic centers and intelligent transportation systems. The article reviews the range of topics, including morphology of the major roads network, logistic centers spatial distribution and regional features of passenger and cargo productivity, discusses current transformational changes within the road transportation sector in Belarus. The key findings indicate that current changes in spatial structure of the road transportation in Belarus have uneven nature, shaped by social, economic, political and geopolitical external and internal factors and are a subject of interest for both transportation researchers and practitioners.

  • Vitebsk Tour
    Vitebsk tour Our Vitebsk tour will take you to the most important industrial town in the north-east of White Russia. At the confluence of the Visba and the Dvina you will find this old trading metropolis and cosmopolitan centre of arts with a distinctly western flair. Vitebsk can look back on over 1000 years of history, which started in the Kievan Rus. There was a frequent change of ruler in the Middle Ages when it was a trading centre, and each one left his mark on the appearance of the town. The town was Lithuanian, Polish, Russian and the inhabitants were representative of many nations and religions. Napoleon besieged and devastated Vitebsk and by doing so laid the foundation stone for the catastrophic end of his Russian campaign. Vitebsk city center. In Vitebsk, the tramway is everyone’s pride and joy. Vitebsk was the first town in Belarus to have such a form of transport (since 1898). Tramways were introduced at a later date even in Moscow and St. Petersburg. Vitebsk, like many other eastern European towns, was almost completely destroyed in both World Wars and subsequently rebuilt retaining very little of the original historical substance. The town nevertheless still has sights worth seeing. The name of Marc Chagall is inseparable from Vitebsk. He was born in the town and was a world-renowned member of the Russian avant-garde. Vitebsk was the centre of this art style at the beginning the 1920s. Many museums, galleries and monuments in the town focus on Marc Chagall’s life in Vitebsk and his contemporaries, such as Kasimir Malevich and El Lissitsky.

Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Anna Kovalchuk iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Anna Kovalchuk Doctor of Philosophy Department of Comparative Literature June 2017 Title: Narrating the National Future: The Cossacks in Ukrainian and Russian Romantic Literature This dissertation investigates nineteenth-century narrative representations of the Cossacks—multi-ethnic warrior communities from the historical borderlands of empire, known for military strength, pillage, and revelry—as contested historical figures in modern identity politics. Rather than projecting today’s political borders into the past and proceeding from the claim that the Cossacks are either Russian or Ukrainian, this comparative project analyzes the nineteenth-century narratives that transform pre- national Cossack history into national patrimony. Following the Romantic era debates about national identity in the Russian empire, during which the Cossacks become part of both Ukrainian and Russian national self-definition, this dissertation focuses on the role of historical narrative in these burgeoning political projects.

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.
