ABSTRACT In this article, the author examines how all-Union anniversaries during the 1960s–70s were used propagandistically to disseminate Soviet values as well as modern spatio-temporal ideas to rural communities. As part of the program to build communism, announced at the 22nd Congress of the Communist Party in 1961, anniversaries were employed to help minimize differences between city and countryside and to bring the way urban and rural people understood time and space into closer alignment. The author argues that the memory of the Soviet past, as propagated through anniversaries, created a memory framework that infused local history with Soviet notions of space and time.

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR Canadian Slavonic Papers occasionally publishes documents of historical significance, and we are happy to include among them memoirs and personal accounts of remarkable experiences that might not otherwise find an outlet. Ten years ago Norman Pereira, an emeritus professor of Russian history at Dalhousie University and long-time member of the Canadian Association of Slavists, published a first installment of his recollections in CSP (“Confessions and Professions”). We are pleased now to present Prof. Pereira’s expansion on that earlier work. Readers of this engaging text will see that our distinguished colleague has led a remarkable life; his gripping anecdotes about his youth in revolutionary China, education at Berkeley in the 1960s, arriving in Moscow just days before the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia, and organizing Dalhousie’s famous study abroad program in the Soviet Union bring colour and ethnographic detail to the events, mentalities, and everyday life of worlds we have lost.

nevertheless “accept and share the Holodomor as a common national tragedy” (113). This group and their descendants, in particular in the diaspora, make up a third community of memory. The fourth community of memory came to the fore in post-Soviet Ukraine and “consciously accepted the Great Famine as historical fact and postulated it as an act of genocide against the Ukrainian nation” (113). This community in Ukraine – in fact consisting of various communities of memory made up of individuals, social initiatives, and public activism as well as state activities – used eyewitness accounts of the Holodomor as a primary source to document Stalinist terror. Chapter 3 develops the discussion of the various religious and secular commemoration practices among the largest Ukrainian diaspora communities, especially in North America, Great Britain, Australia, and Brazil. It details the first initiatives in North America – including the building of a major symbolic and architectural commemorative achievement and place of memory – the Ukrainian Orthodox St. Andrew Memorial Church in South Bound Brook, New Jersey, in 1965 – as well as further memorial places elsewhere; this is always done in relation to the distinct purposes of the respective local community of memory. Chapter 4 likewise chronicles memory initiatives, but it does so in the context of Ukraine since perestroika and independence. It applies the lenses of “acting out” and “working through” trauma by way of engaging in memorial activities; the choice has been between a continuous state of mourning and a more “productive” investing of past suffering with meaning, something that also results in differing symbolic representations. In Chapters 5 and 6, discussion of the meaning and symbolism of monuments is elaborated upon by iconological and visual analysis of a whole range of monuments, memorials, and burial sites in Ukraine and in the diaspora, including at the major memorial site in Kyiv, built in 2008, and at the Washington, DC memorial that opened in 2015. The author views the symbolism of many such sites as being characterized by a mixture of Orthodox sacral or iconographical, folk and pagan, as well as secular references. Whereas at monuments and memorials in the diaspora “symbols of nation, religion, and human suffering prevail” (350), sites in Ukraine tend to “memorialize both the victims of the Holodomor and Stalinist repressions generally” (350). Eternal Memory is a very useful resource for students, general readers, and researchers in the fields of Ukrainian and post-Communist memory and monument studies.

ABSTRACT The success of mass mobilization in Lithuania against Soviet rule in the late 1980s can be attributed in part to the spread of the ethnocultural movement in the post-Stalin era. Characterized in this paper as the “rustic turn,” it began in the late 1950s with the Soviet-wide rehabilitation of kraevedenie (local area studies), part of Khrushchev’s effort to rejuvenate grassroots political participation across the USSR. In Soviet Lithuania, the rehabilitation of kraštotyra had the unintended consequence of restoring nation-building practices from the interwar period and reintegrating individuals repressed under Stalin into public life. Rather than shaping Soviet subjects, the ethnocultural movement developed rituals of transformation that imbued the rustic ethnic past, not the Soviet future, with the aura of sacrality. Ostensibly apolitical, the movement nevertheless cultivated strong associative ties among citizens from various walks of life. With the outbreak of free discussion under glasnost, mass gatherings built upon the rituals of the ethnocultural movement to generate a community of affect grounded in nostalgia for a lost, mythical past and the trauma of displacement under the Soviet regime.

While some groups and individuals criticized the Nazi regime, others held back, anxious to prevent another war and keep the lines of communication open with their German counterparts. There was also a refusal in many quarters to acknowledge Christianity’s underlying antisemitism. This spirit of acquiescence is a theme that runs through many of the essays. Many Christian leaders saw antisemitism as antithetical to Christ’s call but were cowed by the growing strength of the Nazi movement and other fascist regimes. Their decision either to compromise or to remain silent made it easier for antisemitism to spread and helped to enable the horrors that followed. This impressive collection of essays adds to our understanding of the interwar period as a prelude to the Holocaust and it reflects exceptional scholarship. However, the diverse range of subjects is both a strength and a weakness of the book. Although it gives readers a broad sense of growing ethnonationalism across many countries, at times its breadth causes the reader to lose the sense of a unifying thread to the volume. In addition, although this is a collection aimed at specialists, a preface with a quick historiographical summary at the start of each essay would have provided valuable context for the reader. This criticism is not meant to take away from this important collection of essays, which adds a welcome dimension to our understanding of antisemitism in the interwar period and provides a challenge for those who believe that religious faith has something positive to contribute to politics and society. Faith is part of individuals’ core identities and helps shape how they engage with the wider world. It cannot be easily set aside. There are examples within this volume of Christianity being a source of inspiration to fight antisemitism. The danger, of course, is that its misuse can transform Christianity’s call of love into the grotesque parody highlighted in this volume.
