Stalin to Putin H Arizona State University Criteria Checklist for HISTORICAL AWARENESS [H] Rationale and Objectives Recent trends in higher education have called for the creation and development of historical consciousness in undergraduates now and in the future. History studies the growth and development of human society from a number of perspectives such as—political, social, economic and/or cultural. From one perspective, historical awareness is a valuable aid in the analysis of present-day problems because historical forces and traditions have created modern life and lie just beneath its surface. From a second perspective, the historical past is an indispensable source of identity and of values, which facilitate social harmony and cooperative effort. Along with this observation, it should be noted that historical study can produce intercultural understanding by tracing cultural differences to their origins in the past. A third perspective on the need for historical awareness is that knowledge of history helps us to learn from the past to make better, more well- informed decisions in the present and the future. The requirement of a course that is historical in method and content presumes that "history" designates a sequence of past events or a narrative whose intent or effect is to represent both the relationship between events and change over time. The requirement also presumes that these are human events and that history includes all that has been felt, thought, imagined, said, and done by human beings. The opportunities for nurturing historical consciousness are nearly unlimited. History is present in the languages, art, music, literatures, philosophy, religion, and the natural sciences, as well as in the social science traditionally called History. The justifications for how the course fits each of the criteria need to be clear both in the application tables and the course materials. The Historical Awareness designation requires consistent analysis of the broader historical context of past events and persons, of cause and effect, and of change over time. Providing intermittent, anecdotal historical context of people and events usually will not suffice to meet the Historical Awareness criteria. A Historical Awareness course will instead embed systematic historical analysis in the core of the syllabus, including readings and assignments. For courses focusing on the history of a field of study, the applicant needs to show both how the field of study is affected by political, social, economic, and/or cultural conditions AND how political, social, economic, and/or cultural conditions are affected by the field of study.

Each of nation's history. the 7 films is historically accurate, the way in which particular characters act is indicative of the dender/class/profession/geographic location of individuals of that particular era. Week 2 "The Purges of the 1930s" continues the focuse in week 1 on the various factors which contributed to the 1917 revolution and Stalin's revolution from above, which began in 1928. The film students watch explores how class tensions led to the revolution, along with belief in communism and nationalism. Discusison post 1 requires the reading of a primary souurce, a plea from the most well known victim of the Stalinist purges. This plea, like the film which accompanies it, requires the students to think deeply about whether prominent communists who were untimately victims of the revolution, believed in Marxist ideology, and if they stopped believing in it, what triggered their deconversion, and when? This question is one of the major questions scholars of Stalinism still study, and my lecture which accompanies it, and their secondary reading, introduce themto the various theories historians propose. Week 3: "The Great Patriotic War" examines how Nazi and Soviet policies in the occupied Western Soviet Union fed the grassroots partisan movement, which helped ensure Soviet victory over the Nazis. Individuals were forced to make difficult decisions, choosing between colloboration or resistance. Their ultimate overwhelming participation in the war effort against the Nazis is one of the reasons the war is remembered in the Soviet Union as a war without victims, the prompt students write about in their discussion. Week 5: "The Revolution far from Moscow" examines how three generations of Siberians from a single village endured 1917, the purges, W.W. II and industrialization/modernization. It explains the motivation some villagers had to support the Bolesheviks, engage in class warfare, and to harness the unique envirornment to further Soviet industrial needs, while also examining how others resisted these attempts. In the end some individuals switched sides in this struggle between modernization and tradition. In their dicussion, students are asked to consider the pluses and minues of this modernization drive, and, while understanding that the film is entirely "factually" correct, try and tease out the director's Historical Awareness [H] Page 5 interpretations of the momemtus events in his country's history. Week 6: "Glastnost' and Perestroika" explores the factors that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. The film the students watch depicts some of these factors--such as class identity, attitudes toward the West and poverty--are unnderstood entirely differently by two very different Soviet citizens, whose clash is a metaphor for the failure of these reforms. The course offers an inside look at the Week 2 explores how the instiution of the family .

Connections between Gilles Lipovetsky’s Hypermodern Times and Post-Soviet Russian Cinema James M. Brandon Associate Professor [email protected] Department of Theatre and Speech Hillsdale College Hillsdale, MI ABSTRACT In prominent French social philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky’s Hypermodern Times (2005), the author asserts that the world has entered the period of hypermodernity, a time where the primary concepts of modernity are taken to their extreme conclusions. The conditions Lipovetsky described were already manifesting in a number of post-Soviet Russian films. In the tradition of Slavoj Zizek’s Enjoy Your Symptom (1992), this essay utilizes a number of post-Soviet Russian films to explicate Lipovetsky’s philosophy, while also using Lipovetsky’s ideas to explicate the films.

GREKOVA TO LIUDMILA ULITSKAIA Benjamin Massey Sutcliffe, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2004 Gender and byt (everyday life) in post-Stalinist culture stem from tacit conceptions linking the quotidian to women. During the Thaw and Stagnation the posited egalitarianism of Soviet rhetoric and pre-exiting conceptions of the quotidian caused critics to use byt as shorthand for female experience and its literary expression. Addressing the prose of Natal'ia Baranskaia and I. Grekova, they connected the everyday to banality, reduced scope, ateleological time, private life, and anomaly. The authors, for their part, relied on selective representation of the quotidian and a chronotope of crisis to hesitantly address taboo subjects. During perestroika women’s prose reemerged in the context of social turmoil and changing gender roles. The appearance of six literary anthologies gave women authors and Liudmila Petrushevskaia in particular a new visibility.

  • Sexism on the Silver Screen: Misogyny and Cultural Continuity in Soviet Glasnost Cinema, 1987–1991
    the soviet and post-soviet review 44 (2017) 209-232 brill.com/spsr Sexism on the Silver Screen: Misogyny and Cultural Continuity in Soviet Glasnost Cinema, 1987–1991 Svetlana Y. Ter-Grigoryan Department of History, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio [email protected] Abstract In the early 1990s, scholars largely viewed the height of the glasnost years, 1987 to 1991, to be a culturally and socially distinct period in comparison to the rest of the Soviet epoch. One of the main pieces of evidence employed in this argument was glasnost filmmakers’ novel use of sexuality and nudity. The debate about the cultural signifi- cance of the glasnost period, however, has been muted in recent decades. In this reevaluation, I suggest that the misogynistic nature of glasnost filmmakers’ sexuality and nudity depictions actually reflected cultural continuity with previous Soviet eras. This study ultimately challenges the idea of a culturally liberal glasnost period, and supports the case for conservatism throughout the Soviet period. Keywords glasnost – sex – sexuality – film – cinema – chernukha – cultural – misogyny In the late 1980s and 1990s, scholars of Russian culture mostly viewed the years of perestroika and glasnost (1986–1991) as a socially, culturally, and morally lib- eral period in comparison to the rest of the conservative Soviet epoch.1 Among 1 Communication scholars and political scientists such as Joseph Gibbs, Isaac J. Tarasulo, and Elena Androunas argued in the late 1980s and early 1990s that the discourses of the glasnost era represented expanded social and moral liberalism in the Soviet Union. Their definitions of “liberalism,” however, typically drew from western notions of egalitarian society, as well as democratic capitalism.

The history of Russian cinema goes back more than a century, it knew the stages of rise and fall, ideological repression and complete creative freedom. This controversial history was studied by both Russian and foreign scientists. Of course, Soviet and Western scientists studied Soviet cinema from different ideological positions. Soviet filmmakers were generally active in supporting socialist realism in cinema, while Western scholars, on the contrary, rejected this method and paid great attention to the Soviet film avant-garde of the 1920s. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the situation changed: russian and foreign film historians began to study cinema in a similar methodological manner, focusing on both ideological and socio-cultural aspects of the cinematographic process. Keywords: history, film, movie, cinema, USSR, Russia, film historians, film studies. 1. Introduction Birth of the Russian "Great Mute" (1898–1917). It is known that the French brought the movies to Russia. It was at the beginning of 1896. However, many Russian photographers were able to quickly learn a new craft. Already in 1898, documentary plots were shot not only by foreign, but also by Russian operators.

INTRODUCTION On June 28, 1990, Soviet artists engaged in an unprecedented pro- test against the history of cultural repression in their country.' Artists throughout the country staged a general strike of silence which was held to protest the repressed state of their country's culture.2 Protests re- curred throughout the day in the creative unions, as journalists halted their work and as employees stopped their work at publishing houses.3 At 7:30 p.m., plays, concerts, cinemas, clubs, as well as the Bolshoi ballet and other cultural and artistic institutions halted performances.4 Com- mon grievances permeate all areas of Soviet culture, but this Comment focuses on the areas of film, music, theater and painting in particular.
