BASEES 2018 Annual Conference BASEES 2018 Annual Conference 13 April – 15 April 2018 Fitzwilliam College – Churchill College University of Cambridge United Kingdom 1 Dear conference participants, It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the BASEES conference. Much has happened since last year’s conference in the “BASEES region” that makes our theme of human rights particularly timely. Taking as our starting point the events of 1968 in Czechoslovakia, our keynote panels will be examining modern interpretations of protest and revolution in East Central Europe in the 1950s and 60s and the prospects for human rights activism in the post- Soviet space today. We are also reviving a conference tradition that I remember from the first conferences I attended, of inviting leading experts to give delegates the opportunity to get up to speed on the events that have unfolded in their particular specialist area across the region in the past year. There is an impressive range of panels on offer, with the major disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences and all the geographic and cultural regions of the Eurasian continent represented, that provide platform for the presentation of our members’ cutting-edge research. On behalf of the BASEES committee, I wish you all a good conference! Professor Judith Pallot President, British Association for Slavonic and East European Studies We are most grateful to our sponsors for their generous support. 2 Academic Conference Organiser: Dr Matthias Neumann (University of East Anglia) [email protected] Dr Chris Jones (University of East Anglia) [email protected] Local Organisers: Suzy Howes & associates ltd [email protected] Follow us on Twitter and Facebook: Follow @basees Conference Hashtag: #basees2018 Subscribe to the BASEES Bulletin at www.basees.org Become a BASEES Member 3 Conference Schedule Friday, 13 April 2018 Registration opens……………………………………………………. 10:00 Lunch………………………………………………………………………… 11:30-12:30 Keynote (1)…….……………………….................................... 12:30-13:30 Session 1…………………………………………………………………… 13:45-15:15 Coffee/Tea/ ……………………………………………………………… 15:15-15:45 Book Launch: Gendering Postsocialism (Routledge)………………………………………………….. 15:25-15:35 Session 2…………………………………………………………………… 15:45-17:15 Keynote (2)……….…….………….......................................... 17:30-19:00 Dinner ……………………………….……………………….……………. 19:00-20:00 BASEES Women's Forum Roundtable and Drinks.………. 21:00-22:00 Saturday, 14 April 2018 Session 3………………………………………………………………….. 09:00-10:30 Coffee/Tea……………………………………………………………….. 10:30-11:00 Meet the PG Poster Presenters………….………. 10:30-11:00 Session 4………………………………………………………………….. 11:00-12:30 Lunch……………………………………………………………………….. 12:30-13:45 BASEES Annual General Meeting………………... 12:45-13:30 Session 5………………………………………………………………….. 13:45-15.15 Coffee/Tea ……………………………………………..……………….. 15:15-15:45 Book Launch: The Politics of Football in Yugoslavia (I.B.

The election will have taken place against a backdrop of concerns about just how free and fair the electoral process is in Russia and whether the movement towards greater democratisation in the country is stalled. No less than in Russia events in East Central Europe during the last decade have raised similar concerns, which are particularly poignant given that 2018 is the fiftieth anniversary of the Prague Spring and its suppression by Soviet armed forces.

    Mystery of the Third trip or time pressure Levanevskogo The author-composer: Kostarev Evgeny . 2007/2008 Part 1. Start "Flying high above, and the farthest the fastest! " Battle cry of the Soviet government. Shortcut In autumn 1934 the Hero of the Soviet Union, the polar marine pilot Sigismund Alexandrovich Levanevskogo enticed by the idea Flight. He was the first in the Soviet Union, who suggested the idea of non-stop flight across the North Pole. The starting point of the route was Moscow; fit to accomplish the same in the U.S. The Soviet government in this project was received with great interest and supported the idea of non-stop transpolar flight. Of course! From Moscow to San Francisco can be reached in three ways - through the pole across the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean. In this case, the distance will be 9,605 km, 14,000 km and 18,000 respectively. Sigismund Levanevsky Zygmunt A. Levanevsky - a very controversial figure in the history of Soviet aviation. He was born in 1902 in St. Petersburg. Levanevskogo father, a Polish worker, died when he was only 8 years old. In 1916, after graduating from three classes of the district school, Sigismund gave up teaching and went to work in a factory the company "Spring" in order to feed his family. Revolution scattered Levanevskogo the world - Sigismund in 1919, joined the Red Army, and his family moved from Petrograd. During the Civil War Levanevsky managed to get a fighter requisition, party members, eliminate gangs in Dagestan, and assistant warden 4th aeronautic squad in Petrograd.

  • Retention of Supremacy in the Air, Major Air Operations in Europe
    Hero of the Russian Federation Pyotr Deinekin General of the Army, Doctor of Military Sciences Retention of supremacy in the air, major air operations in Europe Dear ladies and gentlemen, comrades! At this conference, I was committed to speak on such an important military factor in the armed struggle, as supremacy in the air. A famous doctrine of General Douhet that victory can be achieved only through military operations of Air Force, is incorrect. The experience of two world wars confirms that to win in modern warfare is possible only with cooperation of all branches of the armed forces on land, at sea and in the air. Along with that, «Since the beginning of the last century to the present time, the most important expression of the state’s military power is supremacy in the air. Fleet and land army must come to terms with their secondary position.» These wise words were said by Winston Churchill in 1940, during his speech in parliament after the «Battle of Britain» between the German Luftwaffe and the Royal Air Force of Great Britain. — 75 — This position was deeply understood by Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. Under his winged motto «Fly above all, beyond all, the fastest of all» he created the Soviet aviation industry before the beginning of the Second World War. During the war, the aircraft factories delivered more than 100,000 combat aircraft to the Red Army, and flight schools trained 100,000 pilots. War propaganda was in full swing on foreign soil. In June 1941, the Luftwaffe inflicted a severe defeat on our troops, won control in the air and on 22 July bombed Moscow.

  • The Ideal Soviet Person at the World's Fairs Ashley Lanni a Thesis in the Department Of
    Connecting Spaces and Conquering Bodies: The Ideal Soviet Person at the World's Fairs Ashley Lanni A Thesis In The Department of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada August 2019 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Ashley Lanni Entitled: Connecting Spaces and Conquering Bodies: The Ideal Soviet Person at the World's Fairs. and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final Examining Committee: ___________________ Chair Anya Zilberstein ___________________ Examiner Barbara Lorenzkowski ___________________ Examiner Theresa Ventura ___________________ Supervisor Alison Rowley Approved by ________________________________ ____________ 2019 ________________________________________ ii Abstract While several historians have explored the Soviet presence at World’s Fairs, few have looked at the presentation of Soviet identity and none have asked questions about how the senses were evoked in the Soviet pavilions and the materials that they displayed. World’s Fairs, as international events, provide an opportunity to see how this identity was distilled for a foreign audience. The Soviet pavilions at the 1939 New York World’s Fair and the 1958 Brussels Expo were chosen as the center-point of this research so as to explore the differences in Soviet identity as they existed under Stalinism and during the Khrushchev-era cultural Thaw. Using photographs of the Soviet pavilions, accounts by journalists and visitors, and Soviet ephemera from the pavilions themselves, this thesis strives to offer a composite of not only Soviet identity but Soviet presence at these Fairs.

  • Boris Chertok
    chertok cover full 12/21/04 1:51 PM Page 1 Rockets and People Rockets and People Volume I and Much has been written in the West on the history Rockets of the Soviet space program but few Westerners have read direct first-hand accounts of the men and women who were behind the many Russian People accomplishments in exploring space.The memoirs of Academician Boris Chertok, translated from the original Russian, fills that gap. Chertok began his career as an electrician in 1930 at an aviation factory near Moscow.Twenty-seven years later, he became deputy to the founding figure of the Soviet space program, the mysterious “Chief Designer” Sergey Korolev. Chertok’s sixty-year-long career and the many successes and failures of the Soviet space program constitute the core of his memoirs, Rockets and People. In these writings, spread over four volumes,Academician Chertok not only describes and remembers, but also elicits and extracts profound insights from an epic story about a society’s quest to explore the cosmos. Volume I In Volume 1, Chertok describes his early years as an engineer and ends with the mission to Germany after the end of World War II when the Soviets BiEChtk captured Nazi missile technology and expertise. Volume 2 takes up the story with the development of the world’s first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and ends with the launch of Sputnik and the early Moon probes. In Volume 3, Chertok recol- lects the great successes of the Soviet space program in the 1960s including the launch of the world’s first space voyager Yuriy Gagarin as well as many events connected with the Cold War.
