Remembering the War, Forgetting the Terror: Appeals to Family Memory in Putin's

Description: Remembering the War, Forgetting the Terror by Ekaterina V. Haskins Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "A study of the popular appeal of the cult of Soviet victory in World War II and the collective incapacity to reckon with the Soviet state terror in Putins Russia. Illustrates how appeals to family memory energize habits of remembrance acquired through exposure to films, architecture, rituals, and digital archives"-- Publisher Description Russian state propaganda has framed the invasion of Ukraine as a liberation mission by invoking the Soviet-era myth of the Great Patriotic War (1941–45), in which the Soviet people, led by Russia, saved the world from the greatest evil of the twentieth century. At the same time, the Russian government has banned civil society institutions and initiatives that remind the country of the legacy of Soviet political violence.Remembering the War, Forgetting the Terror explores the appeal of the cult of the Great Patriotic War and the waning public interest in Soviet political terror as intertwined trends. Ekaterina V. Haskins argues that these developments are driven not only by the weaponization of the official memory of World War II but also by familial pieties and deep-seated habits of memory. Haskins uncovers how widely shared practices of remembrance have taken root and flourished through recurring exposure to war films, urban environments, popular commemorative rituals, and digital archives. Combining scholarship and personal biography, Haskins illuminates why, despite the staggering toll of World War II and internal political violence on Soviet families, most Russian citizens continue to proudly embrace their familys participation in the war effort and avoid discussion of domestic political persecution. Elegantly written and convincingly argued, this book is an important intervention into contemporary rhetoric and memory studies that will also appeal to broader audiences interested in Russia, Eastern Europe, and the war in Ukraine. Author Biography Ekaterina V. Haskins is Professor of Communication Arts and Sciences at The Pennsylvania State University.
