This book explores the ways in which memories of Stalin-era repression and displacement manifest across times and places through diverse forms of materialization. The chapters of the book explore the concrete mobilities of life stories, letters, memoirs, literature, objects, and bodies reflecting Soviet repression and violence across borders of geographical locations, historical periods, and affective landscapes. These spatial, temporal, and psychological shifts are explored further as processes of textual circulation and mediation. By offering novel multi-sited and multi-media analyses of the creative, political, societal, cultural, and intimate implications of remembrance, the collection contributes fresh interdisciplinary perspectives to both the field of memory studies and the study of Soviet repression. The case studies in this collection focus on the personal, autobiographical, and intimate representations, experiences, and practices related to the remembrance of Stalinist repression and displacement as they are mediated through memoirs, fiction, interviews, and versatile commemorative practices. Taken together, the book asks: what happens to memories, life stories, testimonies, and experiences when they travel in time and space and between media and are (re)interpreted and (re)formulated through these transfers? What kinds of memorial forms are gained through processes of mediation? What types of spaces for remembering, telling, and feeling are created, negotiated, and contested through these shifts? What are the boundaries and intersections of intimate, familial, community, national, and transnational memories? By analytically contextualizing the various case studies within broader memory discourses in a range of geographical and political contexts, the book offers rich and multilayered interpretations of the enduring ramifications of communist repression. The collection demonstrates that these multiply moving memories not only reflect Eastern European memory culture but also reach far beyond and have transnational and transgenerational significance. As such, this timely book will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the former Soviet Union or memory studies more broadly.

The exchange of populations between Poland and Ukraine, which took place in the context of the modification of territories and the establishment of the new Soviet border in 1944-45, has never been addressed as such. The reconstruction of this migratory crossroads of one and a half million people sheds light on the ways in which the two states were involved, and on the lived experience of displacement, according to the places, destinations and temporalities of this period of upheaval. This book is based on research into the central archives of the Soviet State, the Soviet Republic of Ukraine and the Republic of Poland. It approaches the topic on different scales, from the most local to the international context. It allows us to disentangle the different geostrategic and political stakes of the period, to distinguish the role of logistical obstacles and inter-state disputes in the conduct of migrations, and to trace the very asymmetrical trajectories of the two minorities, Polish and Ukrainian, between constraints and expectations. In the light of this violent past that has durably separated the two peoples, the phenomenal presence of Ukrainian refugees in Poland since February 2022 marks a real inversion of history which manifests itself in contemporary issues.

This collection addresses two interrelated questions: How are the lived experiences of contention remembered in the form of auto/biography? How is life writing, as an act of cultural remembrance, used in activism? Building on cutting-edge scholarship on the socio-political potential of narrating lived experience, this volume takes life-writing as a new point of observation on the entanglement between memory and activism. This is an open access book.

This volume suggests a model of collective memory that distinguishes between two conceptual logics of memory fragmentation: vertical fragmentation and horizontal fragmentation. It offers a series of case studies of conflict and post-conflict collective memory, shedding light on the ways various actors participate in the production, dissemination, and contestation of memory discourses. With attention to the characteristics of both vertical and horizontal memory fragmentation, the book addresses the plurality of diverging, and often conflicting, memory discourses that are produced within the public sphere of a given community. It analyzes the juxtaposition, tensions, and interactions between narratives produced beyond or below the central state, often transcending national boundaries. The book is structured according to the type of actors involved in a memory fragmentation process. It explores how states have been trying to produce and impose memory discourses on civil societies, sometimes even against the experiences of their own citizens, and how such efforts as well as backlash from actors below and beyond the state have led to horizontal and vertical memory fragmentation. Furthermore, it considers the attempts by states’ representatives to reassert control of national memory discourses and the subsequent resistances they face. As such, this volume will appeal to sociology and political science scholars interested in memory studies in post-conflict societies.

This book argues that the early twentieth century Soviet Russian occupation and rule of the Central Asian territory that became Kyrgyzstan was made possible by collectivisation and forcible population displacement. The rural transformation brought about by the seizure of private and community owned assets, the ending of pastoralism as a livelihood system, and the corralling of people on to collective and state farms were pivotal strategies of colonisation. Evictions, involuntary resettlement and immigration reconfigured the population and enabled largely non-Kyrgyz rule. As the book describes, the dramatic changes wrought by Sovietisation required force and coercion, which were met with resistance and non-compliance. More than three decades after the collapse of the Soviet Union, independent Kyrgyzstan continues to struggle with the legacies of Soviet rule. The book explores how the dismantling of collectivisation and the command economy failed to resist the rise of authoritarian, populist and nationalist politics, combined with economic stagnation and ethnic conflict.

Population Displacement in Lithuania in the XXth Century: Experiences, Identities and Legacies is an edited volume written by historians from several countries offering a series of ground-breaking case studies on forced migration in Lithuania during and between the two World Wars. Starting with the premise that the mass movement of peoples during and after the Second World War needs to be understood in relation to the population displacement of the First World War, the authors draw on theoretical perspectives ranging from entangled histories, cultural theory and studies of nationalism to trace the ethnic, social and cultural transformation of Lithuanian society caused by the displacement of Lithuanians, Poles, Jews and Germans. Contributors are: Tomas Balkelis, Daiva Dapkutė, Violeta Davoliūtė, Andrea Griffante, Ruth Leiserowitz, Klaus Richter, Vasilijus Safronovas, Vitalija Stravinskienė, Arūnas Streikus and Theodore R.

This book examines Kazakhstan’s struggle to distance itself from its Soviet past over 25 years after its independence. To a very large extent, the affirmation of its sovereignty and a unique Kazakhstani way remain largely a matter of rhetoric. This book looks to explain the various aspects that show the continuity of Kazakhstan’s political system and governance with its colonial legacy, namely through its foreign policy, the country’s environmental policies, the judicial system, the management of religious diversity, the way youth organizations are structured and administered or how those who were born after the collapse of Soviet Union are still showing a typical Soviet behavioral attitude towards the political sphere. What are the reasons for this reluctance or incapacity to break away from these ties of the past? Will the unavoidable political transition that will bring new individuals to the head of the state contribute to a real change? Will this lead to a break with thecountry’s past and a radical shift in the country’s policies or will things remain as they have been since 1991? This book provides some valuable insights on what may happen in the near future to the biggest country of Central Asia.

In "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia Conflict: Mediation for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness", David Hoicka, an award-winning mediator from neutral Singapore, explores the profound impact of intergenerational trauma on the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. Hoicka offers a compelling argument for the critical role of mediation in addressing the psychological and emotional wounds that fuel the conflict and hinder efforts to achieve lasting peace and prosperity. Mediation is a process where a skilled mediator facilitates dialogue between parties in conflict, assisting parties to creatively find options and alternatives to best satisfy their underlying interests, given the reality of their circumstances, and achieve peace, prosperity and happiness. In this book Hoicka analyzes how long-standing intergenerational trauma delays achieving peace in Ukraine and Russia, and provides workable solutions. By applying mediation to the Ukraine Russia conflict, while intentionally addressing intergenerational trauma, we facilitate resolving both Ukraine's and Russia's underlying interests to achieve meaningful peace, economic growth, and happiness. Understanding Intergenerational Trauma Hoicka begins by providing a comprehensive overview of the concept of intergenerational trauma, examining how the collective experiences of violence, oppression, and hardship can be passed down through generations, shaping the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of individuals and communities. He explores the ways in which the legacies of Soviet-era policies, the challenges of the post-Soviet transition, and the ongoing tensions around language, culture, and national identity have contributed to the deep-seated mistrust and animosity that characterize the Ukraine-Russia conflict. In the context of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, the concept of intergenerational trauma has become increasingly relevant in understanding the deep-rooted psychological and emotional factors that contribute to the persistence of hostilities. As a mediator working towards fostering peace and reconciliation, it is crucial to recognize the role that intergenerational trauma plays in shaping the attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors of individuals and communities affected by the conflict. The Power of Mediation With case studies and practical steps, Hoicka demonstrates the transformative potential of mediation in breaking cycles of trauma and conflict. He argues that by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for dialogue, fostering empathy and understanding, and addressing the underlying psychological and emotional needs of all parties, mediation can help to build trust, promote healing and rapprochement, and pave the way for sustainable peace and reconciliation. A Path Forward Hoicka offers a compelling vision for the future of Ukraine-Russia relations, one that is grounded in the principles of inclusivity, dialogue, and mutual understanding. He provides concrete strategies and recommendations for policymakers, civil society leaders, and ordinary citizens to support mediation efforts and promote long-term peace and prosperity in the region. An Essential Read "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia: Mediation for Peace, Prosperity and Happiness" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the role of mediation in promoting peace and reconciliation. Written with great emotional depth, clarity, and accessibility, this book is a must-read for policymakers, scholars, practitioners, and general readers alike who are committed to building a more just, peaceful, and prosperous world. To ensure broad accessibility, this book is priced affordably. It is my sincere hope that by making this resource widely available, it can have a meaningful, positive impact. If my book "Healing Intergenerational Trauma in Ukraine Russia" can save even one life or bring a measure of happiness to a single individual, I will feel a deep sense of fulfillment and happiness myself. I will be grateful to be able to make a difference through this work. David Hoicka

The Novel’s Knowledge focuses on the changing functions and epistemologies of the novel in the era of commercial, digital, and social media. The volume also argues that while the functional role of the author in the contemporary media world is evolving, the social relevance of the author as an intellectual has remained relatively unaltered. The contributors are interested in how authors of fictional, autofictional, documentary, and graphic novels take advantage of other media forms, and how the varying modes of the contemporary Finnish novel relate to different modes of knowing and ways of presenting the world. The case studies concern themselves with history and memory, the environment and multiculturalism, and practices of writing and reading, among other themes. In a twenty-first-century reality, substantially influenced by social media, fictional literature should be regarded as one considerable mode of knowledge production, the novel still serving as a vital form of cultural expression.
