  • Growing up in Post-War Germany
    Chapter 5 – Growing up in Post-War Germany At the end of April or the beginning of May [1945] something happened that in one bolt structured the disorder and suffering in my head and developed my image of the world with big strides. (…) Within the period of one week, seamlessly, a child is turned into an unripe adult. Jochen Neumann101 “My childhood was a happy one, in all respects,” writes Jochen Neumann in one of his private essays, in which he reflects on his own life.102 “It ended more or less abruptly in 1945, together with the turning of tides shortly before the middle of the century.” Indeed, the period 1944-1945 was a turning of tides, and so was actually the whole period of the Second World War. It is almost three quarters of a century later and hard to imagine the immensity of the destruction that befell the regions that quickly and unwillingly turned into battlegrounds. Millions of people were uprooted, became victims of acts of war, pillaging, rape and mass murder. In particular Eastern Europe was victimized, being caught between the military and ideological powers of two totalitarian regimes that, on one hand, collaborated extensively but at the same time plotted to overthrow the other. Much of the hardships of the second half of the twentieth century were a direct consequence of this war, which ended in a standoff between two military blocs. Central and Eastern European countries were either annexed or subjugated to a Soviet-oriented regime and Western Europe entered a prolonged period of political polarization, fear of a Soviet attack and a constant urge to profess its superiority.

  • Ballet, Culture and Elite in the Soviet Union on Agrippina Vaganova’S Ideas, Teaching Methods, and Legacy
    Ballet, culture and elite in the Soviet Union On Agrippina Vaganova’s Ideas, Teaching Methods, and Legacy Magdalena L. Midtgaard Magdalena Midtgaard VT 2016 Examensarbete, 15 hp Master program, Idéhistoria 120 hp Balett, kultur och elit i Sovjetunionen Om Agrippina Vaganovas idéer, undervisningsmetoder och arv Magdalena Midtgaard vt. 2016 Abstract. Balettutbildning har varit auktoritär och elitistisk i århundraden. Med utgångspunkt i Agrippina Vaganova och hennes metodiska systematisering av balettundervisning diskuteras frågor om elit, lärande och tradition inom balettundervisning. Vaganova var en länk mellan tsartidens Ryssland och det nya Sovjet och bidrog aktivt till att balett som konstform, trots sin aristokratiska bakgrund, fördes vidare och blev en viktig kulturpolitiskt aktivitet i Sovjet. Med underlag i texter av Bourdieu och Said diskuteras elit, kulturellt kapital och elitutbildning för att förklara några av de politiska och samhällsmässiga mekanismer som bidragit till balettens unika position i Sovjet. För att placera Vaganova som pedagog i förhållande till balettundervisning och balett genom tiden, presenteras korta informativa kapitel om baletthistoria, och utveckling och spridning av Vaganovas metod, både i Sovjet/Ryssland och i andra länder. Key words: Classical ballet, Vaganova, ballet education, elite education, cultural politics in the Soviet Union My sincere thanks to Sharon Clark Chang for proof reading and correcting my English, and to Louise Midtgaard and Sofia Linnea Berglund for valuable thoughts on Vaganova and ballet pedagogy and education in general. 2 Contents 1.

    Centre for Economic and Financial Research at New Economic School November 2006 Dictators, Repression and the Median Citizen: An “Eliminations Model” of Stalin’s Terror (Data from the NKVD Archives) Paul R. Gregory Philipp J.H. Schroder Konstantin Sonin Working Paper No 91 CEFIR / NES Working Paper series Dictators, Repression and the Median Citizen: An “Eliminations Model” of Stalin’s Terror (Data from the NKVD Archives) Paul R. Gregory Philipp J.H. Schr¨oder University of Houston and Aarhus School of Business Hoover Institution, Stanford University Denmark Konstantin Sonin∗ New Economic School Moscow November, 2006 Abstract This paper sheds light on dictatorial behavior as exemplified by the mass terror campaigns of Stalin. Dictatorships – unlike democracies where politicians choose platforms in view of voter preferences – may attempt to trim their constituency and thus ensure regime survival via the large scale elimination of citizens. We formalize this idea in a simple model and use it to examine Stalin’s three large scale terror campaigns with data from the NKVD state archives that are accessible after more than 60 years of secrecy. Our model traces the stylized facts of Stalin’s terror and identifies parameters such as the ability to correctly identify regime enemies, the actual or perceived number of enemies in the population, and how secure the dictators power base is, as crucial for the patterns and scale of repression. Keywords: Dictatorial systems, Stalinism, Soviet State and Party archives, NKVD, OPGU, Repression. JEL: P00,

  • Secret Intelligence Service
    Secret Intelligence Service Room No. 15 A few notes on KGB. Military Counter-Intelligence (C-IV) The modern history of the state security forces in Russia began in July 1918. First it was of fragmented bodies acting under military control of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic, as well as extraordinary Commission for Combating Counterrevolution, formed SNK of the RSFSR on the Eastern and other fronts. On December 19, 1918 the decree of the Bureau of the Central Committee of the RCP (b) front and army Cheka were combined with the military control, and based on this formation was a new body - the Special Department of the Cheka at SNK RSFSR. The day – December 19th, is traditionally celebrated as a professional holiday of workers of the military counterintelligence. In the future, with the formation of the special departments, fronts, military districts, fleets, armies, and special departments of provincial Cheka was created a single centralized system of security forces. From the earliest days special departments always operated in close cooperation with the military command. This approach to the organization of the military counterintelligence has become one of the fundamental principles of their work. At the same time was born the other principle of the military counterintelligence, the importance of which had never been questioned by anyone and which is; a close relationship with the personnel of military units , workers, military facilities, staffs and institutions under the operational support of security forces.. The military counterintelligence largely contributed to the victories of the Red Army during the Civil War. Serious challenge to the military counterintelligence began during the Great Patriotic War.
