    National Park Service National Park Service U. S. Department of the Interior Civic Engagement www.nps.gov/civic/ Civic Engagement and the Gulag Museum at Perm-36, Russia Through communication with former prisoners and guards and an international dialogue with other "sites of conscience," The Gulag Museum at Perm-36, Russia, is building all its programs on a foundation of civic engagement. In December 1999, National Park Service (NPS) Northeast Regional Director Marie Rust became a founding member of the International Coalition of Historic Site Museums of Conscience. At the Coalition’s first formal meeting, Ms. Rust met Dr. Victor Shmyrov, Director of the Gulag Museum at Perm-36 in Russia, another founding institution of the Coalition. Dr. Shmyrov’s museum preserves and interprets a gulag camp built under Joseph Stalin in 1946 near the city of Perm in the village of Kutschino, Russia. Known as Perm-36, the camp served initially as a regular timber production labor camp. Later, the camp became a particularly isolated and severe facility for high government officials. In 1972, Perm-36 became the primary facility in the country for persons charged with political crimes. Many of the Soviet Union’s most prominent dissidents, including Vladimir Bukovsky, Sergei Kovalev and Anatoly Marchenko, served their sentences there. It was only during the Soviet government’s period of “openness” of Glasnost, under President Mikael Gorbachev, that the camp was finally closed in 1987. Although there were over 12,000 forced labor camps in the former Soviet Union, Perm-36 is the last surviving example from the system.

  • Lithuanian Writers and the Establishment During Late Socialism: the Writers Union As a Place for Conformism Or Escape Vilius Ivanauskas
    LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 15 2010 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 51–78 LITHUANIAN WRITERS AND THE EStabLISHMENT DURING LatE SOCIALISM: THE WRITERS UNION AS A PLACE FOR CONFORMISM OR ESCAPE Vilius Ivanauskas ABSTRACT This article analyses how the changes in the dominant attitude of local Soviet writers were encouraged, screened or restricted by the Writers Union [WU] through mechanisms of planning, control and even through measures of creating a secure daily environment. The author looks at the tensions and conflicts between writers of different generations, observing less ideology in the younger generation than in their predecessors since the development and dissemination of national images among the declared values of communism were increasing. The union as a system covered both aspects – conformism and the escape (manoeuvre). Though the WU had a strong mechanism of control, it managed to ensure for the writers such a model of adaptation where even those, who were subject to restrictions, had a possibility of remaining within the official structure, through certain compromises, while actually avoiding involvement in dissident activities or samizdat publishing. Introduction In August 1940 a group of Lithuanian intellectuals, most of whom were writers, went off to Moscow “to bring back Stalin’s Sunshine”, at the same time asking for Lithuania to be incorporated into the USSR. Forty eight years later in early June 1988 a few members of the local literary elite joined the initial Sąjūdis Group and from thenceforth stood in the vanguard of the National Revival. These two historic moments, witnessing two contrary breaking points in history, when Lithuanian writers were active participants in events, naturally give rise to the question of how the status and role of writers and their relationship with the Soviet regime changed.

  • Modernism and Andrei Amalrik's Nose! Nose? No-Se!
    Fall 1992 89 Dark Images of Dissidence: Modernism and Andrei Amalrik's Nose! Nose? No-se! Nancy Kindelan I Critics describe the dissident drama of Andrei Amalrik (1938-1980), especially Nose! Nose? No-se! (1968), as following the Russian tradition of the absurd, grotesque, and satire. Amalrik's adaptation of Gogol's short story, "The Nose" (1936), and his reading of Ionesco, Beckett, and the futuristic plays of Khlebnikov, link Amalrik to prior and modern perceptions of absurdist literary and dramatic techniques. In the absurdist world, reality is depicted as disjointed and disoriented, complete with characters who cannot communicate, fear authority and define life in isolation. Although it appears that Amalrik's play and the absurdist's world are similar, there is evidence that this play's intricate form allows for multiple interpretations. In Twentieth-Century Drama, Harold Segel notes that while there is a connection between Amalrik's plays and the absurdist and grotesque drama, "the complexity of his plays sets him apart." Particularly, he states that the "strange configurations of character and incident often make interpretation a matter of intuition or impression" (396). Nose! Nose? No-se! has received some literary and dramatic attention; however, little consideration has been afforded to how this play's "complexity," and the "strange configurations of character and incident" have combined to shape Amalrik's dramatic form. Russian dramatic criticism specifies that German expressionism played a minor role in the development of their drama; however, while there are no significant Russian expressionistic playwrights, Amalrik's play contains significant components of this form. More Nancy Kindelan is an Assistant Professor in the Theatre Department at Northeastern University.

  • The Conference of Enslaved and Oppressed Peoples in Edinburgh
    THE CONFERENCE OF ENSLAVED AND OPPRESSED PEOPLES IN EDINBURGH Cossackia 15-16 (IX.X.1950): 7-14 Translated by Maria Artamonova Over the last years of the Second World War and during the harsh post-war years, the Anti- Bolshevik Bloc of Nations carried out a lot of work in order to consolidate the aspirations and actions of the nations enslaved by Bolshevism, to coordinate their joint efforts in a national liberation movement, and to provide adequate coverage of the problem of these nations for the Western social and political audience. The rich and diverse publications produced in all the main languages and sent to all the countries of the world have accomplished a colossal task. A whole range of socio-political circles in the West now have a considerable interest in the plight of the nations enslaved and oppressed by Bolshevism. Among these circles, it was the Scottish League for European Freedom that put forward the initiative to convene a conference of these nations in the United Kingdom, to make it possible for British circles to get to know the representatives of these nations and their problems. The Scottish League has brought under its protection the conference of all nations enslaved by the Bolsheviks and taken an active part in procuring the required travel documents for the delegates; during the conference itself, the heads of the delegations of the nations represented at the conference were its guests of honour. In order to give the British an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the facts about these nations, the Scottish League released a special English-language brochure on each of them.

  • Russian Novels in Marathi Polysystem 87
    RUSSIAN NOVELS IN MARATHI POLYSYSTEM 87 Chapter IV: RUSSIAN NOVELS IN MARATHI POLYSYSTEM The Marathi polysystem created a subsystem of translated literature in the historical colonial context. It also created a space for Russian literature within the subsystem of translated literature as a result of the factors mentioned in the last chapter. This chapter attempts to analyse the trends of translation of some representative Russian texts in Marathi polysystem. We conduct this study with concrete literary works translated into Marathi and try to find out exactly which literary works have been entered into Marathi polysystem since 1932. We need to analyse the factors, which played a decisive role in the selection of these works by Marathi polysystem. It is important to determine the function of Russian literature (Novels, Short Stories and Dramas) in Marathi polysystem. This is what we attempt to touch in our next three chapters. II Russian Literature: A Brief Historical Sketch Before we analyse the translations of Russian literary works in the Marathi polysystem, it becomes essential for us to have a brief historical view of the Russian literature. An account of the development of Russian literary polysystem acquaints us with the process of its formation as well as the major events and literary creations in Russia. This shows us how vast the Russian polysystem is and what part of it has entered into Marathi polysystem through translations. Secondly, this also helps us to define the status of the literary texts (chosen for translation into Marathi) in Russian polysystem. Then eventually we can compare it with the status/role/function of the translated text in the Marathi polysystem.
