This volume includes five case studies on war and the military in
the USSR, Russia and Yugoslavia. It argues that the armed forces
were at the core of socialist statehood and that their role and
their change in late socialism and post-Communism are thus far
understudied. Discussing the similarities as well as the
differences between the Soviet, the Russian, and the Yugoslav case,
the introduction seeks new explanations for war and military
violence in these countries. Rather than pointing exclusively to
ethnic mobilization and nationalism, it views the transformation
and collapse of the Communist party-state and its army as a
precondition for violence and civil war. It places these cases
using innovative methodological approaches to the research on
physical violence, war, and military. These studies explore the
experience and the representation of violence, army service,
combat, and war in late socialism and scrutinize individual actors
and their behaviour within violent spaces. In retrospect the
emerging wars in the post-Soviet space - from Chechnya to the
Donbas - and in Yugoslavia are at least as crucial for the region
as Gorbachev's reforms. They help to better understand the
conflicts of the present in the post-Soviet space. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Nationalities Papers.
