In this compelling account of life and death in a Russian province
under Nazi occupation, Johannes Due Enstad challenges received
wisdom about Russian patriotism during World War II. With the
benefit of hindsight, we know how hopelessly destructive Germany's
war against the Soviet Union was. Yet ordinary Russians witnessing
the advancing German forces saw things differently. For many of
them, having lived through collectivization and Stalinist terror in
the 1930s, the invasion created hopes of a better life without the
Bolsheviks. German policies on land and church helped sustain those
hopes for parts of the population. Drawing on Soviet and German
archival sources as well as eyewitness accounts, memoirs, and
diaries, Enstad demonstrates the impact of Nazi rule on the mostly
peasant population of northwest Russia and offers a reconsideration
of the relationship between the Soviet regime and its core Russian
population at this crucial moment in their history.
