Myth Making in the Soviet Union and Modern Russia

Myth Making in the Soviet Union and Modern Russia

Vicky Davis

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
2020
nidottu
The 1943 battle to free the Soviet Black Sea port of Novorossiisk from German occupation was fought from the beach head of Malaia zemlia, where the young Colonel Leonid Brezhnev saw action. Despite widespread scepticism of the state's appropriation and inflation of this historical event, the heroes of the campaign are still commemorated in Novorossiisk today by an amalgam of memoir, monuments and ritual. Through the prism of this provincial Russian town, Vicky Davis sheds light on the character of Brezhnev as perceived by his people, and on the process of memory for the ordinary Russian citizen. Davis analyses the construction and propagation of the local war myth to link the individual citizens of Novorossiisk with evolving state policy since World War II and examines the resultant social and political connotations. Her compelling new interdisciplinary evidence reveals the complexity of myth and memory, challenging existing assumptions to show that there is still scope for the local community - and even the individual - in memory construction in an authoritarian environment. This book represents a much-needed departure from the study of myth and memory in larger cities of the former Soviet Union, adding nuance to the existing portrait of Brezhnev and demonstrating the continued importance of war memory in Russia today.

Central Asia in World War Two

Central Asia in World War Two

Vicky Davis

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2024
nidottu
Central Asia has long been situated at the geographical crossroads of East and West, once strategically located on the ancient Silk Road. The envy of the expanding Russian empire, it was colonized in the 19th century by Cossacks and traders from the north. This book examines how Central Asia, by then part of the Soviet Union, experienced population displacements on an even greater scale during the Second World War. Vicky Davis analyses how troops were sent westwards into action, only for waves of civilians to travel eastwards into the region: evacuees, refugees and even internal deportees sent into exile from their homelands in other parts of the vast Soviet Union. Central Asia in World War Two is the first book to tackle the subject of minorities fighting for the Soviet Union under Stalin in the Second World War. Based on meticulous archival research, it considers the interactions of the individual citizen and the Soviet state, weaving together the experiences of over three hundred ordinary men and women in Central Asia as they coped with their new roles on the front line or in the rear. Suffering incredible economic and physical hardship, racism and religious oppression, these mainly Muslim citizens were subjected to a forced process of Sovietization under the influence of Stalin’s ubiquitous propaganda machine. Davis reveals how, while conscripts were all too often slaughtered or scapegoated in their regiments, the women and children left at home slaved in factories and communal farms to fuel the machinery of a war taking place thousands of kilometres away. She convincingly argues that the impact of forced assimilation, cultural indoctrination, anti-Semitism and re-education on the region were as great as the daily fight for survival in wartime. The legacy of the period is almost as complex, with struggles over the ownership and revision of history continuing even today.

This fearless memoir is a collection of war stories that offer a glimpse into the life of RET SFC Vicki Davis. She fought for nearly 22 years-on the battlefield and off it. These battles included the troubles of failed family care plans, failed marriages, financial hardships, domestic violence as well as the inner conflict caused by a sexist system while she fought for her life in Iraq.SFC Davis could not have imagined how signing her life away at 18 would impact her three children in the future. The price they would pay and the sacrifices they would make during her service. The unspeakable hardships, trauma, and disappointments they would have to deal with. The real heroes are her children, who sacrificed their childhood, friends, and, most importantly, their only parent-their mother. However, she questions whether her children are struggling with PTSD because of everything they endured during her service. SFC Davis also talks of tales of love, of laughter mixed with blood, of the silent tears that became her life story.While penning this memoir, SFC Davis as well as her children faced unspeakable sexual abuse, domestic violence, and financial hardships. They dealt with many setbacks over the years. The chief of these hardships was the death of her oldest son.Humbly, she hopes this book can be a token of appreciation for her children, her fallen comrades, and other female veterans who have endured similar trials. This book was written in the hope of bringing awareness to the issues faced by single parents in the military and their effect on their children. This book is a tribute born of gratitude as well as a message to keep fighting the good fight.

Victoria, Princess Royal, known as Vicky, is best known as the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and the mother of Kaiser Wilhelm II. Yet, she is a fascinating figure in her own right. Intelligent, strong-willed, opinionated and politically liberal, she faced opposition at the conservative German Royal Court. With the death of her father Albert in December 1861, Vicky lost her mentor and teacher. This left her politically exposed and also meant she has to take on the role of close confidante to her mother. Their relationship is fully described in their 40-year correspondence and in Queen Victoria’s journals. Despite all their hardships, Vicky and Fritz’s love story is a genuine one. A meeting as children led to a long and happy marriage – in a similar way to that of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip. With Queen Victoria as her mother, Wilhelm II as her son and Bismarck as her political nemesis, Vicky’s story is central to the era. An eyewitness to the wars which led to German unification, Vicky’s thoughts are recorded in her correspondence, which gives us the opportunity to see these events through her eyes
