The Ukrainian Weekly 1979 Carter reaffirms America's Moroz's wife, son arrive in U.S. 'fundamental faith in freedom' 200 greet them at JFK airport WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Story and photos by ihor Dlaboha Jimmy. Carter reaffirmed the United States' "fundamental faith in human freedom" in his 1979. Captive Nations proclamation signed here on June 22. The proclamation designated the week of July 15-21 Captive Nations Week. The full text of the president's pro– clamation follows. Twenty years ago, by a joint resolu– tion approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), the 86th Congress authorized and requested the president to proclaim the third week in July of each year as Captive Nations Week. However greatly the world has changed in the past generation, our country's fundamental faith in human freedom remains constant.

Porous Empire: Foreign Visitors And The Post-Stalin Soviet State Abstract “Porous Empire” is a study of the relationship between Soviet institutions, Soviet society and the millions of foreigners who visited the USSR between the mid-1950s and the mid-1980s. “Porous Empire” traces how Soviet economic, propaganda, and state security institutions, all shaped during the isolationist Stalin period, struggled to accommodate their practices to millions of visitors with material expectations and assumed legal rights radically unlike those of Soviet citizens. While much recent Soviet historiography focuses on the ways in which the post-Stalin opening to the outside world led to the erosion of official Soviet ideology, I argue that ideological attitudes inherited from the Stalin era structured institutional responses to a growing foreign presence in Soviet life. Therefore, while Soviet institutions had to accommodate their economic practices to the growing numbers of tourists and other visitors inside the Soviet borders and were forced to concede the existence of contact zones between foreigners and Soviet citizens that loosened some of the absolute sovereignty claims of the Soviet party-statem, they remained loyal to visions of Soviet economic independence, committed to fighting the cultural Cold War, and profoundly suspicious of the outside world.

  • The Myth of Stalingrad in Soviet Literature, 1942-1963
    The Myth of Stalingrad in Soviet Literature, 1942-1963 by Ian Roland Garner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures University of Toronto © Copyright by Ian Roland Garner 2018 The Myth of Stalingrad in Soviet Literature, 1942-1963 Ian Roland Garner Doctor of Philosophy Department of Slavic Languages & Literatures University of Toronto 2018 Abstract This study explores representations of the Battle of Stalingrad in Soviet literature between 1942 and 1963, asking how Stalingrad became central to Russian identity in this period. The work reads Stalingrad’s cultural significance within a body of scholarship on Soviet subjectivity and memory of the Second World War. My analysis begins with a survey of frontline newspaper stories, including material by Konstantin Simonov and previously unstudied stories by Vasily Grossman, which characterized the battle in eschatological terms. I then explore efforts to encode Stalingrad in epic form immediately following the battle and further chart how the story became a vehicle for Stalin’s deification in the late 1940s by comparing Il’ia Ehrenburg’s novel The Storm and minor works. I then show how Grossman’s For a Just Cause links wartime and Stalinist motifs. Finally, I uncover how Simonov and Grossman rewrote Stalingrad during the Khrushchev period. Simonov’s Not Born Soldiers suggested Stalingrad was a resurrection that could be repeated in the present; Grossman’s Life and Fate disrupted the epic wholeness of the Stalingrad myth with polyphony. Drawing on Frank Kermode’s work on myth, I read representations of Stalingrad as being imbued with kairotic significance for a Russian nation attached to an historicist view of the world.
