Rees, the EUl (Supervisor) Professor Lynne Viola, the University of Toronto Professor Jay Winter, the EUI L ifi 9 4 7 . 0 8 4 4 -fi<KAZ \ 'S' ' S- To my wife and children with the warmest love Acknowledgements The present work came about as a result of a personal crisis, which my wife and I underwent in May 1999. Our firstborn daughter, Dorothea, aged only 10 months, died, fix>m a congenital disease. This experience influenced our perception of the “afterlife” tremendously. During that difficult period, I was writing my MA thesis at the Centre of Russian and East European studies at the University of Southern Denmark. My then supervisor, Professor Bent Jensen (who was in the midst of writing his award-winning book on the GULAG and oblivion) identified some potential in my work, and suggested that I undertook related research. I realised that this would be an obvious opportunity to combine our own personal tragedy with my professional skills. Although this thesis is not about our daughter, her sad fate inspired me when defining the scope. The thesis is my way to make clear to her and to our surroundings that, “you are not forgotten and never will be”. The research was undertaken within the framework of the four-year doctoral programme at the European University Institute (EUI) m Florence. Professor E.A. Rees of the EUI demonstrated an immense interest in the project right from the outset, and willingly he took it upon himself to be my supervisor. His competent guidance, through the span of Soviet history, has been important in shaping of the scope of the work. His admirable role as a devil’s advocate has, hopefully, sharpened the arguments, or at least forced me to consider and reconsider important aspects o f my personal view on the history of the Soviet Union. Professor Lynne Viola of the University of Toronto offered extremely valuable information on the situation of deported kulak children, which was a crucial point of departure. Her own work on deported children in Northern Russia and her interest in my work has been much appreciated. Professor Andrea Graziosi of University of Naples Federico II also reacted very positively to my initial contact, and his suggestions for further reading were very important. It was he who drew my attention to the autobiography of Nicholas Vionov (a pseudonym), which became central in the discussion of personal memories of former kulak children. Although Professor Jay Winter of the EUI is not a specialist in Soviet history, his work on remembrance and the First World War is tremendously important for the discussions undertaken in this thesis. Therefore, I could not have asked for a better jury to examine this thesis. A number of Russian and Ukrainian scholars have helped me at various stages. Professor S.A. Krasilnikov made it possible for me to go to Novosibirsk, and he helped me to organise the interviews with former kulak children. For this I am indebted, as it raised my discussion to a attiiJii iMtìifti if iiiiii iKiiilfÌriilìIiitÌiiiulMiaikiÌM^ìkMM^ m much higher level than would have been otherwise possible. I would like to express my gratitude to the late V.P. Danilov and also to N.A. Ivnitskii, lurii Shapoval, Oleg Khlevniuk and Valerli Vasiliev, whose help was most appreciated. I received important assistance from the staff of the State Archives in Novosibirsk (GANG) and Tomsk (GATO) and the Party Archive of Kiev (TsDAGO). Particularly, I would like to offer thanks to Elena P. Fominykh of GATO and Anna Riabova (a Russian Ph.D. student working in GANG), who assisted me in tracing crucial material in both state archives. Many librarians offered valuable help during the whole process, and I would like to thank the staff of the library at the EUI especially. Although the collection on Soviet history is not terribly wide in this library, the staff always offered assistance in locating the literature elsewhere. Inge Marie Larsen of the Slavic department of the State Library at Aarhus University was outstanding - no request was too difficult. Irina Lukka of the Slavonic Library of Helsinki University Library and Nigel Hardware of the European Resource Centre at Birmingham University also supported me with vital information and material on various occasions. Vasilii Khatevich, of the local department of the Memorial Foundation in Tomsk guided me through the humble but highly informative memorial museum in the former NKVD detention centre in Tomsk. During this visit he provided me with a copy of the NKVD Order No. 00447 of 30 July 1937 concerning the round-up of former kulaks. I would like to offer thanks to the “Tomskoi Memorialnyi Muzei Istori! Politicheskii repressi! sledstvenii tiurma NKVD” for providing me with the photographic material which is included in the thesis. This thesis could not have taken the form it has without the ten interviews with former kulak children. The narratives of Teodor Karlovich Shults, Tatiana Ivanovna Kiprianova, Maria Vikentevna Kaidalova, Georgii Mikhailovich Nosikov, Anatolii Dmitrevich Edukov, Valentin Vasileevich Levykin, Julia Vasileevna Ausheva, Aleftina Vasileevna Krasilnikova, Uliana Petrovna Koropkina and Agrafena Alekseevna Pevneva, add an essential human element to the work. I caimot express enough gratitude for their allowing me to interview them. Melanie IU6 read and commented on the first draft of the thesis, and her understanding of Soviet history combined with an admirable skill in editing was a great source of inspiration. Although I did not adopt all of her suggestions, I hope that she is satisfied with what I have accomplished. Dori Laub read my chapter on memory and kulak children, and his comments and personal experiences with Holocaust survivors were a real inspiration. Likevrise, I am thankful for the help offered to me by Dorena Caroli, who read and commented on chapter 5. Erik Kulavig I thank for drawing my attention to the existence of the EUI and for his willingness to discuss my research. I would also like to thank R.W. Davies, Sheila Fitzpatrick, D’Ann Penner, James Harris, Boris Weil, Niels Erik Rosenfeldt, and Catriona Kelly, who have all been immensely helpful during various stages of my work. My colleagues at the EUI should be remembered for their fruitful discussions and support during my work: Gunvor Simonsen, Poul Noer, Claus Comeliussen, Stine Andersen, David Lebovitch Dahl, Jakob Skovgaard, Caroline Gautier, Jens Pyper, Paulina Bochenska, Chiara De Santi and Irina Kotkina have all been excellent company. A special thank goes to Evgenii Kuznetsov and his family, who kindly offered me accommodation during my stay in Tomsk. My dear friend, Stacy Chambless, performed a Herculean task in proof-reading the language of this thesis. I would like to say to him and his lovely family: “let the ball drop from the ceiling, as we will return to Denmark now”. In terms of language revision I have also depended on the invaluable help offered by Natasha Carver. Also the support of the Language Service at the EUI and particularly that of Miriam Ann Nyhan should be recorded. Any mistakes are entirely my own responsibility, but these people raised my English to a level which would have been impossible for me to attain alone. A very special category of people is that of fnends. Instead of listing names, I will say; none mentioned and none forgotten. The same can be said about my family, although I would like to mention the support we have always received from my parents and in-laws. It is difficult, especially when you have small children, to live apart for so many years. Brit Aaskov Kaznelson is a very special person and I would like to express my enormous gratitude for the constant and sacrificing support I receive on a daily basis. I would probably never have become what I am, without her devoting help. Aside from being a lovely wife, who has given birth to our four precious children, she is and has always been my most competent commentator. Her critical reading and sharp understanding of the nature of Russia and the Soviet Union has been a great inspiration. Finally, I will mention our lovely children, Viktoria, David and Elisabeth, who constantly remind me that this world contains more important things than my research.

The Trial of the New Woman: Citizens-in-Training in the New Soviet Republic Elizabeth A. Wood Our task consists in making politics accessible for every labouring woman and in teaching every [female] cook [kukharka] to run the government. – Vladimir Lenin, Third Congress of Soviets, 1918 The accusations were flying thick and fast against the defendant. She had pretensions to running the government and meddling in public affairs. She had taken part in strikes and demonstrations. She was trying to put all women on an equal footing with men. She had destroyed her own femininity, ceasing to be an object of beauty and pleasure for men, ceasing as well to raise her children and, instead, giving them into others’ hands. All these things, it was alleged, con- tradicted woman’s very nature, which was to serve as decoration in men’s lives. The setting was The Trial of the New Woman. The prosecution witnesses included a factory director, a lady secretary, a rich peasant, a priest, and a traditional family woman. The so-called ‘bourgeois’ court initially found the defendant guilty, but then workers appeared on stage, and her judges ran away. Her rights were restored, and she was recognised to be ‘equal to men in all respects’. This Trial of the New Woman was, of course, a mock trial, and the new woman herself emerged as the heroine of the play.

  • Industrialization of Housing Construction As a Tool for Sustainable Settlement and Rural Areas Development

Lomonosov, 163002, Severnaya Dvina Emb., 17, Arkhangelsk, Russia 2 Moscow State University of Civil Engineering, 26, Yaroslavskoeshosse, 129337, Moscow, Russia Abstract. The development of the construction industry, conducting construction in accordance with standard projects, and transforming the construction materials industry in hard-to-reach and sparsely populated areas will make significant progress in solving the housing problem. Industrialization of housing construction is a catalyst for strong growth of the region’s economy and the quality of life of citizens. The purpose of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing the level of industrialization of the territory’s construction complex and its development potential for increasing the volume of low-rise housing stock. Research tasks: 1) assessment of the need to develop housing construction, including low-rise housing, on a particular territory; 2) development of a methodology for calculating the level of industrialization of construction in the area under consideration to determine the possibility of developing low-rise housing construction in this area in the proposed way; 3) approbation of the method using the example of rural areas of the Arkhangelsk region. It was revealed that the districts of the Arkhangelsk region have medium and low levels of industrialization. The districts that are most in need of an increase in the rate of housing construction have been identified.

  • Socialism in Europe and the Russian Revolution India and the Contemporary World Society Ofthefuture
    Socialism in Europe and II the Russian Revolution Chapter 1 The Age of Social Change In the previous chapter you read about the powerful ideas of freedom and equality that circulated in Europe after the French Revolution. The French Revolution opened up the possibility of creating a dramatic change in the way in which society was structured. As you have read, before the eighteenth century society was broadly divided into estates and orders and it was the aristocracy and church which controlled economic and social power. Suddenly, after the revolution, it seemed possible to change this. In many parts of the world including Europe and Asia, new ideas about individual rights and who olution controlled social power began to be discussed. In India, Raja v Rammohan Roy and Derozio talked of the significance of the French Revolution, and many others debated the ideas of post-revolutionary Europe. The developments in the colonies, in turn, reshaped these ideas of societal change. ian Re ss Not everyone in Europe, however, wanted a complete transformation of society. Responses varied from those who accepted that some change was necessary but wished for a gradual shift, to those who wanted to restructure society radically. Some were ‘conservatives’, others were ‘liberals’ or ‘radicals’. What did these terms really mean in the context of the time? What separated these strands of politics and what linked them together? We must remember that these terms do not mean the same thing in all contexts or at all times. We will look briefly at some of the important political traditions of the nineteenth century, and see how they influenced change.

  • Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence
    Russia • Military / Security Historical Dictionaries of Intelligence and Counterintelligence, No. 5 PRINGLE At its peak, the KGB (Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti) was the largest HISTORICAL secret police and espionage organization in the world. It became so influential DICTIONARY OF in Soviet politics that several of its directors moved on to become premiers of the Soviet Union. In fact, Russian president Vladimir V. Putin is a former head of the KGB. The GRU (Glavnoe Razvedvitelnoe Upravleniye) is the principal intelligence unit of the Russian armed forces, having been established in 1920 by Leon Trotsky during the Russian civil war. It was the first subordinate to the KGB, and although the KGB broke up with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the GRU remains intact, cohesive, highly efficient, and with far greater resources than its civilian counterparts. & The KGB and GRU are just two of the many Russian and Soviet intelli- gence agencies covered in Historical Dictionary of Russian and Soviet Intelligence. Through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory HISTORICAL DICTIONARY OF essay, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries, a clear picture of this subject is presented. Entries also cover Russian and Soviet leaders, leading intelligence and security officers, the Lenin and Stalin purges, the gulag, and noted espionage cases. INTELLIGENCE Robert W.

Brodnikov* Petr E. Podalko** The penetration of the Russian people into Siberia probably began more than a thousand years ago. Old Russian chronicles mention that already in the 11th century, the northwestern part of Siberia, then known as Yugra1), was a “volost”2) of the Novgorod Land3). The Novgorod ush- * Associate Professor, Novosibirsk State University ** Professor, Aoyama Gakuin University 1) Initially, Yugra was the name of the territory between the mouth of the river Pechora and the Ural Mountains, where the Finno-Ugric tribes historically lived. Gradually, with the advancement of the Russian people to the East, this territorial name spread across the north of Western Siberia to the river Taz. Since 2003, Yugra has been part of the offi cial name of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug: Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug—Yugra. 2) Volost—from the Old Russian “power, country, district”—means here the territo- rial-administrative unit of the aboriginal population with the most authoritative leader, the chief, from whom a certain amount of furs was collected. 3) Novgorod Land (literally “New City”) refers to a land, also known as “Gospodin (Lord) Veliky (Great) Novgorod”, or “Novgorod Republic”, with its administrative center in Veliky Novgorod, which had from the 10th century a tendency towards autonomy from Kiev, the capital of Ancient Kievan Rus. From the end of the 11th century, Novgorod de-facto became an independent city-state that subdued the entire north of Eastern Europe.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.
