  • Babadzhanian, Hamazasp
    Babadzhanian, Hamazasp Born: February 18th, 1906 Died: November 1st, 1977 (Aged 71) Ethnicity: Armenian Field of Activity: Red Army Brief Biography Hamazasp Khachaturi Babadzhanian was a Russian military general who served during multiple wars for the Soviet Union, rising to prominence during the Great Patriotic War. He was born in 1906 into an impecunious Armenian family in Chardakhlu, Azerbaijan. He attended a secondary school in Tiflis in 1915 but due to familial financial difficulties was forced to return home and toil in the fields on his family’s plot of land, later working as a highway worker during 1923-24. Babadzhanian joined the Red Army in 1925 and later attended a Military School in Yerevan in 1926, graduating as an officer in 1929, as well as joining the Soviet Communist Party in 1928. He received various postings, mopping up armed gangs in the Caucasus region in 1930 and aided in liquidating the Kulak revolt. Babadzhanian moved around frequently, generally within the Transcaucasus and Baku regions, until 1939-1940, when he served in the Finno-Soviet war. He played a pivotal role in numerous battles in World War 2, participating in the battle of Smolensk, as well as contributing a fundamentally in Yelnya, where he overcame a far superior German force. For his efforts in recapturing Stanslav he received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. He provided support in Poland, as well fighting in Berlin, contributing to the capture of the Reichstag. After the Great Patriotic War Babadzhanian would prove crucial in quelling the Hungarian Revolution in 1956, and some time after in 1975 became Chief Marshal of the Tank and Armoured Troops, a rank only he and one other attained.

  • Vodka and Pickled Cabbage: Eastern European Travels of a Professional Economist*
    CENTRE FOR ECONOMIC REFORM AND TRANSFORMATION School of Management and Languages, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, EH14 4AS Tel: 0131 451 4202 Fax: 0131 451 3498 email: [email protected] World-Wide Web: http://www.sml.hw.ac.uk/cert (ebook) Vodka and Pickled Cabbage: Eastern European Travels of a Professional Economist* Paul G. Hare‡ September 2008 Discussion Paper 2008/08 Abstract One of the most amazing ‘events’ of the last 15 plus years has been the complete transformation of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, their transition from communist rule and central planning to various forms of market-type economy. Ten of the countries have now joined the EU as full members, and for them this accession marks the real end of the Cold War, the end of the postwar divide between East and West. As a professional economist - initially as a PhD student, eventually as an economics professor based in Scotland - I have worked on the region since the late 1960s, travelling to diverse places in many countries, getting to know the people, observing the economic system both under central planning and as it was transformed to a market system. Finally, in 2006, I decided to write a book about my experiences in the region. The result is not a technical academic work of the sort I normally write. It is a mix of economic history; short accounts of what I do or have done as a professional economist working in an endlessly fascinating part of the world; and travel tale, since my work has taken me to some quite obscure and not at all well known places.

It is necessarily incomp!ete, partly because it is intended to be only a sketch of Jewish aspects of the titanic struggle, and partly because fuller information is in many cases still unobtainable. But, such as it is, this account should serve to enlighten public opinion, which unfortunately knows very little of the martyrdom the Jews are enduring under the barbarous Nazi regime on the Continent, and still less of the contributions-military, economic, and technical-that theJ ews of the Allied Democracies are making to the overthrow of Hitlerism.

He is said to have played a decisive role in almost all critical battles, beginning with the defense of Leningrad and Moscow in the autumn of 1941 and ending with the conquest of Berlin in May 1945. Zhukov is the Soviet commander who on 8–9 May 1945 officially accepted Germany’s surrender in Berlin. (This was a second ceremony of German capitulation that was hastily organized at the insistence of Stalin who considered the original ceremony, held on 7 May in Reims, France, inadequate in highlighting the Soviet contribution.) Stalin appointed Zhukov the inspector of the victory parade that took place in Moscow’s Red Square on 24 June 1945. Zhukov took part in the Potsdam Conference in July 1945, establishing a rapport with Western military leaders such as General Dwight David Eisenhower, Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery, and others.
