Abstract:

Focusing on less studied areas of the twentieth-century war experience, this article investigates the notions of “urban beauty” and “urban spec-Slavic Review 69, no. 2 (Summer 2010) tacle” as experienced by the residents of besieged Leningrad. Polina Barskova suggests that, via an estrangement effect, the siege gaze replaces the unrepresentable traumatic experience of presentnesswith an aestheticized cultural past containing such useable notions of cultural memory as ruin, stage set, monument, and frame. This replacement can be described as a siege urbanscape sublime, a sublime lying not in the distinction between the horrific and the beautiful but rather in the observer's tendency to substitute the horrific with the beautiful. This particular species of sublime aims at psychological anesthesia and is thoroughly oxymoronic: the intense clashing of opposites—to the point that oxymoronic sensibility leads to rhetorical confluence—alerts us to the connection between the aesthetic discourse of besieged Leningrad and the perennial Petersburg text, thus opening new opportunities for the study of the functioning of cultural memory in Soviet society.

Abstract:

The subject of this research is the aviation industry during the siege of Leningrad. This topic is gaining relevance due to the recently published documents dedicated to the work of the higher party authorities in the period from 1941 to 1944. In the summer-autumn of 1941, Leningrad was detached from the &ldquo;main land&rdquo;. In these conditions, the full operational control over resource base of the city fell on the shoulders of the Soviet and party authorities, who received additional powers, and thus, responsibilities. The author provides an alternative outlook on the activity of the Leningrad plants under the People's Commissariat of Aviation Industry of the USSR, not from the perspective of classical reconstruction of the history of aviation industry in the USSR during the war, but a specific managerial task that was resolved by the party leadership using the general resource base. The conclusion is made that despite the evacuation of the vast majority of production facilities of aviation industry during the war, the resource base was adapted to the specific tasks of the Leningrad Front. The city manufactured the industrial products in accordance with the orders and requirements of the Soviet Air Force. Mobilization of the Leningrad industrial base for the tasks of aviation units during the war years in many ways became a crucial factor in maintaining the combat effectiveness of the Air Force, namely during the rough winter of 1941/1942, when the replenishment of aviation units with new equipment ceased&nbsp; for the most part.

Abstract:

The official Soviet narrative of the Second World War used the concept of heroism to imbue war commemoration with an obligation towards the state. Such a concept was designed to make subsequent generations feel inferior to their predecessors and obliged to give of their best. Today, the victory serves as the strongest connection between Soviet and modern Russian patriotism. The paper argues that the memory of the Siege of Leningrad (1941-1944) as treated in museums in St Petersburg today is an appropriation by present-day Russian propaganda of the Soviet narrative. Soviet memorial sites are developed to foster support for Russia rather than the former Soviet Union. While the use of the heroic paradigm continues, the definition of heroism has changed to include each and everybody who suffered during the Siege. With collective heroism as the leading image, a critical view of the historic events becomes all but impossible. The paper makes references to the alternative narratives of literature, memoirs and diaries to contrast the version of the Siege presented in the museum exhibitions.

Abstract:

Épisode tragique largement méconnu du public occidental et fortement légendé du côté soviétique, le siège que subit Leningrad durant près de 900 jours par les Allemands et leurs alliés est un terrain d’observation privilégié pour étudier la réaction des individus à un contexte de violence et de pression extrêmes (la guerre, le blocus, le stalinisme). Source extrêmement riche mais encore sous-exploitée, les très nombreux journaux personnels tenus par les assiégés permettent une incursion dans leur univers mental, offrant ainsi un éclairage inestimable non seulement sur l’histoire du siège de Leningrad, mais plus largement sur le vécu intime de l’époque stalinienne en temps de guerre. D’une part, ils donnent à voir le rôle de la pratique diariste dans des conditions infrahumaines (écriture de la survie et entreprise testimoniale) et mettent au jour une façon singulière de narrer leur expérience (la mort de masse, la famine, la désorientation), rejoignant à ce titre le grand vivier de la littérature des catastrophes. D’autre part, ils montrent la façon complexe dont les Soviétiques réagissaient à un environnement idéologique saturé de propagande. L’articulation de trois piliers de l’idéologie soviétique (ethos collectiviste, internationalisme, héroïsme) par les diaristes révèle une tension permanente entre discours intime et discours officiel. Elle se manifeste à travers un large spectre de positionnements, allant du discrédit à l’intériorisation de la voix du pouvoir. À ce titre, les journaux personnels permettent d’affiner notre compréhension de l’expérience intime du stalinisme, dont l’étude a souvent été cantonnée aux années 1930<br>A tragic but largely unknown episode for the Western public--and highly distorted on the Soviet side--the siege initiated by the Germans and their allies that Leningrad underwent for almost 900 days is a privileged observation field for studying the reaction of individuals to a context of extreme violence and pressure (the war, the blockade, Stalinism). The many personal diaries kept by the besieged --an extremely rich but still underexploited source--allow one to penetrate into their mental universe and thereby offer an invaluable insight not only on the history of the siege of Leningrad but more generally on the intimate experience of the Stalinist era in times of war. On one hand they let one see the role of diaries in infrahuman conditions (survival writing and testimonial aspect) and bring to light a singular way of narrating this experience (mass death, starvation, disorientation), joining as such the realm of disaster literature. On the other hand, they show the complex way Soviets react to a propaganda-filled ideological environment. The articulation of the three pillars of the Soviet ideology (collectivism, internationalism, heroism) by the diarists reveals a permanent tension between intimate and official discourses. It manifests itself by a wide spectrum of different stands, from total discredit to the internalizing the voice of the power. As such, the personal diaries allow us to refine our comprehension of the intimate experience of Stalinism, whose study often remains restricted to the 1930s

Abstract:

At the beginning of the Continuation War in 1941, Finnish and German troops commenced a gradual escalation which resulted in swift successive victories against the Soviets. Yet, Finland´s Field Marshal Mannerheim unexpectedly turned his back on military rationality at Leningrad and Murmansk despite his knowledge of how vitally strategic the locations were to the Soviet war effort. Leningrad was encircled by German and Finnish forces and a successful siege was achievable, yet Mannerheim abruptly discontinued the offensive and chose to assume a stale war lasting until 1944. Likewise, Mannerheim withheld his troops from cutting off Murmansk Railway. These events beckon important inquiries regarding Mannerheim´s decision to de-escalate during successful offensives in a total war and presents a conundrum that few have to date examined holistically. As such, this thesis offers an alternative perspective to the current rational explanations of Finnish warfare in the Continuation War. This thesis discusses specific social processes of Finnish society that rationalist explanations overlook and applies the theory of constructivism to identify that normative factors can complement the prevailing rationalist explanations. This thesis further identifies how the social concepts of identity, shared culture and knowledge, and the norms of the Finnish people, and its leadership, contributed to Mannerheim’s decision to disregard military rationality and de-escalate. Lastly, this thesis determines that norms and ideas matter in war studies and future research should incorporate an interpretivist approach which contemplates social constructions and norms as alternative explanations in complex, multi-casual social phenomena like war.
