I have been fortunate enough to study with wonderful mentors who have fostered a love of learning and a multidisciplinary approach to understand- ing Russia and its history. As a teenager at the University of Missouri I had the honor to study with historians Charles Timberlake and Russell Zguta, political scientist Robin Remington, geographer Robert Kaiser, and Rus- sian visual art and literature specialists James Curtis and Gene Barbatalo. These scholars and teachers helped me to appreciate the country to which I have devoted my professional life. At Georgetown University I had the pleasure to work with many talented historians, and the guidance provided by Roger Chickering, David Goldfrank, and Richard Stites was essential to the early development of this project. I owe special thanks to Richard for urging me to look at “history from the side” so that I could illuminate the “above” and “below.” Their encouragement and prodding in the last few years have helped to bring this multidisciplinary study to fruition. Along the way a number of other scholars, whether they realize it or not, have helped me to expand my approach to this topic and to sharpen my arguments. To name them all is impossible, but I would especially like to thank Blair Ruble, who has given me guidance since this project’s This content downloaded from 128.197.26.12 on Fri, 23 Oct 2015 18:06:30 UTC All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions xii Acknowledgments inception. Don Raleigh, Don Filtzer, Susan Reid, David Crowley, Marcus Funk, Diane Koenker, Anne Gorsuch, and many others have provided comments at conferences, edited related publications, and /or provided as- sistance securing funding and preparing the project for publication. Jeffry Diefendorf asked the question that started me on this study. “It would be extremely interesting,” Diefendorf wrote, “to know how the Soviet Union dealt with the task of reconstruction.”1 I hope that I have answered some of his questions. The participants in Sheila Fitzpatrick’s “Stalin’s Last De- cade” workshop at the University of Chicago in 2000 provided wonderful critiques at an early stage. The contributors to the “Cities after the Fall” conference hosted by John Czaplicka and Blair Ruble at Harvard’s Center for European Studies in 2005 helped me to extend my investigation of the postwar decade to the beginning of the twenty-first century. A special thanks also goes to a group of young upstarts like myself who in the 1990s started to venture into the postwar period. An even smaller number of researchers began to investigate the Soviet Union outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Discussions with Jeff Jones, Per Brodersen, and Heather DeHaan have been especially helpful. In the last few years I have had the pleasure of exchanging ideas with a group of young East- Central European specialists who have forced me to rethink some of my previous conclusions. I will blame all of the above for the lengthy writing process! Their probing questions and scholarly examples made me keep going back to sources with new ideas in mind. Thank you. Many institutions and organizations have provided assistance and support along the way. Dickinson College’s Research and Development Committee has never turned down a request for time or money to pursue research or to travel to conferences. To these colleagues I am indebted. In the early stages I benefited from financial and administrative support from the Center for the Study of Russia and the USSR, the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies, and the American Council of Teachers of Rus- sian. Generous grants during my sabbatical year provided me with the re- sources to support my family and to travel extensively while chasing leads across Ukraine, Russia, and the United States. Funding was provided by the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research and Inter- national Research and Exchanges Board under the authority of a Title VIII 1.

Paul Getty Fellow- ship provided additional funding that allowed me to extend a sabbatical year to nearly eighteen months. An American Council of Learned Societ- ies Library of Congress Fellowship in International Studies, with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Association of American Universities, and the Library of Congress, provided magnificent facilities in the library for the latter stages of writing, particularly chapter 5. Of course, wonderful, hardworking, and underpaid archivists make re- search much easier. I want to give specific thanks to Liudmila Gennadievna Kiseleva at the State Archive of the Russian Federation (GARF II). Not only were she and the rest of the staff exceedingly helpful, but Liudmila Gennadievna’s excitement about my topic helped me through some tough days. The staff of the State Archive of the City of Sevastopol (GAGS) went well beyond my expectations. There has been turnover in the decade since I first started working there, but the continuity of service, collegiality, and friendship never changed. Although sometimes I just wanted to focus on work, I appreciated their invitations to the various celebrations hosted at the archive. The motherly attention of the archivists when I was sick or homesick made the long months go by quickly. I am grateful to the following for permission to use previously pub- lished material.

To compensate for this apparent injustice, Kommersant Vlast analytical weekly has compiled The Entire Russian Fleet directory. It is especially topical since even Russia’s Commander-in-Chief compared himself to a slave on the galleys a week ago. The directory lists all 238 battle ships and submarines of Russia’s Naval Fleet, with their board numbers, year of entering service, name and rank of their commanders. It also contains the data telling to which unit a ship or a submarine belongs. For first-class ships, there are schemes and tactic-technical characteristics. So detailed data on all Russian Navy vessels, from missile cruisers to base type trawlers, is for the first time compiled in one directory, making it unique in the range and amount of information it covers. The Entire Russian Fleet carries on the series of publications devoted to Russia’s armed forces. Vlast has already published similar directories about the Russian Army (#17-18 in 2002, #18 in 2003, and #7 in 2005) and Russia’s military bases (#19 in 2007).

Vernadsky Crimean Federal University, Simferopol, Russia *E-mail: [email protected] Received 24 November 2020 │ Accepted by V. Pešić: 11 January 2021 │ Published online 20 January 2021. Abstract The results of the first studies of the ecosystem state of the underwater part of the channel, artificially created in the middle of the 20th century on the western shore of the Balaklava Bay (Sevastopol) as a naval base of the Black Sea Fleet for the submarines repair, are presented. Channel's ecosystem is determined by uniqueness of anthropogenic formation and considered as analogue of natural Black Sea cave. Hydrospelological survey of the channel and biological studies allowed assessing its current state, the nature of biofouling of its walls and anthropogenic and technical pollution of the bottom. Macrofauna of the channel wall biofouling is represented by the Mytilaster lineatus community, which has a high level of species abundance (about 80 species have been registered) and quantitative development. Both in taxonomic diversity and in quantitative terms, this community is comparable to the rocky substrate community near open Crimean coasts, but with a smaller share of crustacean group development.

  • The Ecological Condition of Coastal Waters Off the Heracles Peninsula (Crimea, the Black Sea)

Abstract The results of the long-term monitoring of coastal waters off the Heracles Peninsula (Crimea, the Black Sea) are presented. The abiotic and biotic parameters, indicating the ecological condition of the coastal zone, have been studied. The following parameters have been measured by standard methods: water temperature, illuminance, concentration of particulate matter, organic matter, primary production, intensity of biotic reproduction of particulate matter, phytoplankton and meroplankton species diversity, abundance, and biomass, as well as shell morphometrics and sex ratio in mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lam. It has been found that upwelling water circulation is typical for the coastal waters off the Heracles Peninsula. The mean annual sea surface temperature over the study period 2000-2016 proved to be 2.7°С higher than that in the early 20th century. The maximum values of phytoplankton primary production are associated with inner waters of coves and with increased Twater and Еmax values. A reduction in phytoplankton and meroplankton diversity and a dominance of eurybiontic species have been recorded from the waters subject to anthropogenic impacts. The most pronounced shift of sex ratio toward predominance of M. galloprovincialis males and a high mussel Н/L shell index are observed in waters with increased technogenic load.

  • A Case Study in Early Joint Warfare: an Analysis of the Wehrmacht's Crimean Campaign of 1942
    A Case Study in Early Joint Warfare: An Analysis of the Wehrmacht's Crimean Campaign of 1942 JOEL HAYWARD Military theorists and commentators believe that joint operations prove more effective in most circumstances of modern warfare than operations involving only one service or involving two or more services but without systematic integration or unified command. Many see Nazi Germany's armed forces, the Wehrmacht, as early pioneers of 'jointness'. This essay demonstrates that the Wehrmacht did indeed understand the value of synchronising its land, sea and air forces and placing them under operational commanders who had at least a rudimentary understanding of the tactics, techniques, needs, capabilities and limitations of each of the services functioning in their combat zones. It also shows that the Wehrmacht's efforts in this direction produced the desired result of improved combat effectiveness. Yet it argues that the Wehrmacht lacked elements considered by today's theorists to be essential to the attainment of truly productive jointness - a single tri-service commander, a proper joint staff and an absence of inter-service rivalry - and that, as a result, it often suffered needless difficulties in combat.
