  • 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.

Zinovii Tolkachev was a Ukrainian artist and Pavel Antokol’skii a Moscow poetry professor. Tolkachev drew both Jewish and Socialist themes, while Antokol’skii created no Jewish motifs until his son was killed in combat and he encountered Nazi concentration camps; Tolkachev was at the liberation of Majdanek and Auschwitz.

Germany's Eastern Front in World War II saw many campaigns and battles that have been forgotten by a Soviet Union that tried to hide its military failures. Although Konev's and Malinovsky's offensives ultimately failed, the Red Army managed to inflict heavy losses on Axis forces, exacerbating the effects of Germany's defeats in the Ukraine and making it more difficult for the Wehrmacht to contain the Soviet juggernaut's ultimate advance toward Berlin. Liquidlasagna rated it really liked it Sep 18, He discloses General Ivan Konev's strategic plan as the 2nd Ukrainian Front prepared its Iasi offensive and fought a climactic battle with the German Eighth Army and its Romanian allies in the Tirgu-Frumos region in early May, then the regrouping of General Rodion Malinovsky's 3rd Ukrainian Front for its decisive offensive toward Kishinev, which aborted in the face of a skillful counterstroke by a threadbare German Sixth Army.

  • Fighting for Tyranny: How State Repression Shapes Military Performance
    Fighting for Tyranny: How State Repression Shapes Military Performance Arturas Rozenas Roya Talibova Yuri M. Zhukov New York University University of Michigan University of Michigan [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] A state’s military power ultimately rests on the efforts of ordinary citizens in battle. But what if people see the state they are defending as unjust or even tyrannical? To investigate this question, we assemble a novel dataset from over 100 million declassified personnel records of Red Army conscripts in the Second World War, and detailed data on Stalin’s mass repression before the war. Results from three empirical designs show that soldiers from places with more pre-war repression were more likely to fight until death and less likely to flee, but they also displayed less initiative in battle. This finding underscores an overlooked negative externality of repression: past exposure to repression induces con- formity, which may help solve some principal agent problems associated with fighting, but it comes at the expense of military effectiveness and higher wartime casualties. October 2020 11,924 words When Soviet troops raised the red victory banner atop the Reichstag in 1945, they marked an end to the costliest military campaign in history. During the Great Patriotic War – the eastern front of World War II – the Soviet Union lost over 11.2 million military personnel and 17.9 million civilians (Surinov and Oksenoyt, 2015). Almost 40% of the battlefield losses comprised soldiers who were captured, surrendered, deserted, or went missing (Krivosheev, 1997). Incentives to avoid fighting were compelling.
