Specialists, Spies, “Special Settlers”, and Prisoners of War: Social Frictions in the Kuzbass (USSR), 1920–1950
IRSH 60 (2015), Special Issue, pp. 185–205 doi:10.1017/S0020859015000462 © 2015 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Specialists, Spies, “Special Settlers”, and Prisoners of War: Social Frictions in the Kuzbass (USSR), 1920–1950 J ULIA L ANDAU Buchenwald Memorial 99427 Weimar-Buchenwald, Germany E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The Kuzbass coalmining region in western Siberia (Kuznetsk Basin) was explored, populated, and exploited under Stalin’s rule. Struggling to offset a high labour turnover, the local state-run coal company enrolled deportees from other regions of Russia and Siberia, who were controlled by the secret police (OGPU). These workers shared a common experience in having been forcibly separated from their place of origin. At the same time, foreigners were recruited from abroad as experts and offered a privileged position. In the years of the Great Terror (1936−1938) both groups were persecuted, as they were regarded by the state as disloyal and suspicious. After the war, foreigners were recruited in large numbers as prisoners of war. Thus, migrants, foreigners, and deportees from other regions and countries constituted a significant part of the workforce in the Kuzbass, while their status constantly shifted due to economic needs and repressive politics. From the beginning of the twentieth century, after the building of the Trans- Siberian Railway, the economic resources of Siberia became the subject of political consideration and planning efforts by the Russian and later the Soviet state. The Kuzbass region in western Siberia amazed Soviet planners with its vast supply of very high-quality coal – the layers of coal measuring from 1.5 to 20 metres.1 The content of ash (about 10 per cent) and sulphur (between 0.4 and 0.7 per cent) was comparatively low. -

Introduction
Notes Introduction 1. Several recent studies have considered the role played by Communism in the history of the 20th century, as political orientation and organization: Archie Brown, The Rise and Fall of Communism (New York: Ecco; London: Bodley Head, 2009); Silvio Pons, The Global Revolution. A History of International Communism, 1917–1991, trans. Allan Cameron (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014); David Priestland, The Red Flag: Communism and the Making of the Modern World (New York: The Grove Press, 2009); Robert Service, Comrades: A History of World Communism (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press; London: Macmillan, 2007); Steve A. Smith, ed., Oxford Handbook of the History of Communism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2014). Though argu- ing from various political points of view their focus remains on traditional political history, not on Communism as a collective experience and the Comintern as the site of a particular type of militant practice. 2.

According to Erez Manela, The Wilsonian Moment: Self- Determination and the International Origins of Anticolonial Nationalism (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007), the hopes of self- determination for the colonies that had been prompted by Wilson’s rhetoric were extinguished by Spring 1919 at the latest. -

Private Matters Become Public: Western European Communist Exiles and Emigrants in Stalinist Russia in the 1930S
IRSH 48 (2003), pp. 203–223 DOI: 10.1017/S0020859003001019 # 2003 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis Private Matters Become Public: Western European Communist Exiles and Emigrants in Stalinist Russia in the 1930s Brigitte Studer and Berthold Unfried Summary: This article looks at the experiences of foreigners in the Soviet Union of the 1930s, focusing on the divide between the public and the private. For Party members it was assumed that nothing could remain private or personal. In sessions of ‘‘criticism and self-criticism’’, even intimate questions had to be put into the public domain, since a Party member’s private life had to be exemplary. From a gender perspective, it is interesting to note that the leading justification for the public handling of private affairs in Party forums was the equality postulated between women and men, or more precisely between female and male Party members. In that sense, these discussions can be interpreted as potential tools in the hands of women to stigmatize ‘‘noncommunist’’ male behaviour, that is behaviour that degraded women. But the official attention given to private matters also served other means. For the Party leadership, these discussions proved instrumental in disciplining Party members, and in a particularly effective way, inasmuch as the persons concerned participated in the process. Despite the assumed gender equality, however, Soviet notions of private and public were not only constantly changing but also highly gendered. During the Terror, women and men became victims in different ways, thereby also highlighting their different social positions and functions. In a letter from Moscow in 1932, Bertolt Brecht’s intimate collaborator, Margarete Steffin, told him about the public trial of a man who had raped and hit his wife after she had returned from an abortion.
