Projektinformationen
The project focuses on the crimes against civilians in the occupied and liberated territories of the Soviet Union, in particular in Russia and Ukraine, during World War II. It involves scholars of Soviet history and World War II from Heidelberg University (Germany), Higher School of Economics (Moscow, Russia), and the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. The study dwells upon recent developments in the historiography that include burgeoning studies of the local practices of German occupation, including the Holocaust in the East, and growing interest in repressive actions of the Soviet regime during the war, as well as wartime Stalinism. The project emphasizes six major areas: 1) the study of experiences of civilians under specific German occupation regimes and study of violence as particular method of rule; 2) a focus on local contexts of violence and correlation with the ideology and politics; 3) study of the Holocaust in conjunction with other major forms of violence; 4) study of violence in Soviet home front areas as a reaction to the German invasion; 5) study of violence as part of liberation by the Red Army and re-Sovietization; 6) study of local cultures of violence. Besides furthering a purely scholarly agenda, this project aims to bring groups of scholars of World War II from Russia, Ukraine and Germany into close interaction. This will strengthen cross-border cooperation and further a scholarly dialogue on a topic that remains highly politicized in post-Soviet space. The project will result in a collected volume published in Russian, a thematic issue of a German scholarly journal containing articles on different aspects of and perspectives on violence, and a documentary publication on the Nazi occupation in Ukraine based on Ukrainian archival collections with additional materials from Russian and German archives.
