This comprehensive volume presents groundbreaking new research on World War II memory in the Soviet Union and Russia today. By delving into a wide array of war remembrance practices, including official histories, school textbooks, museums, monuments, literature, films, and Victory Day parades, the chapters shed light on how the heroic narrative of the war was established in Soviet times and how it continues to shape war memorialization under Putin's leadership. The war narrative resonates deeply with the Russian population, owing to decades of Soviet commemoration that persisted even after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The volume explores key themes such as the political use of World War II memory for patriotic mobilization, the striking continuities between Soviet and post-Soviet commemorative practices, the significance of Holocaust memorialization in contemporary Russia, Putin's invocation of the war to bolster national pride and international prestige, and the interplay between individual memory and collective remembrance.
Written by an esteemed international group of distinguished specialists, this collection is an invaluable resource for scholars of Russia across various disciplines, including history, political science, sociology, and cultural studies. It provides a deep understanding of the complex and multifaceted ways in which World War II memory is shaped and transmitted in Russia, offering valuable insights into the country's historical and political landscape.
