This edited collection contributes to the current vivid
multidisciplinary debate on East European memory politics and the
post-communist instrumentalization and re-mythologization of World
War II memories. The book focuses on the three Slavic countries of
post-Soviet Eastern Europe - Russia, Ukraine and Belarus - the
epicentre of Soviet war suffering, and the heartland of the Soviet
war myth. The collection gives insight into the persistence of the
Soviet commemorative culture and the myth of the Great Patriotic
War in the post-Soviet space. It also demonstrates that for
geopolitical, cultural, and historical reasons the political uses
of World War II differ significantly across Ukraine, Russia and
Belarus, with important ramifications for future developments in
the region and beyond. The chapters 'Introduction: War and Memory
in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus', 'From the Trauma of Stalinism to
the Triumph of Stalingrad: The Toponymic Dispute over Volgograd'
and 'The "Partisan Republic": Colonial Myths and Memory Wars in
Belarus' are published open access under a CC BY 4.0 license at
link.springer.com. The chapter 'Memory, Kinship, and Mobilization
of the Dead: The Russian State and the "Immortal Regiment"
Movement' is published open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license
at link.springer.com.
