**CANCELLED** War, Victory, and Catastrophe: Commemoration in the Soviet Union and Its Successor States
Event Sponsor
Overview
This event has been cancelled due to illness
In discussing Russia’s celebrations of Victory Day, Western media often contrast the state’s militaristic, patriotic displays with grassroots forms of commemoration, which subvert the state’s narrative by focusing on Stalinist terror or the human cost of war. In this talk, Mischa Gabowitsch will show how each commemorative repertoire has historically influenced the other, and how neither could exist alone.
