Funded Activity Summary

Soviet state and society in the Great Patriotic War, 1941-45. This project will produce a sociocultural analysis of what motivated the mass of the Soviet citizenry to defend the Stalinist state against Hitler's onslaught in the Great Patriotic War. Its significance lies in explaining a pivotal but neglected moment in the development of the Soviet Union: massive mobilisation in defence of a repressive state. Expected outcomes include a significant conceptual advance in the understanding of Soviet cultural and social history to be published as a scholarly monograph as well as other contributions to international, refereed journals.
