Unruly actors: Latvian women of the Red Army in post-war historical memory
Nationalities Papers, 2013Co-Authors: Daina S. Eglitis, Vita ZelčeAbstract:This work highlights the case of Latvian women volunteers of the Red Army who worked and fought on the eastern fronts of World War II. An estimated 70,000–85,000 Latvians served in the Red Army, some as conscripts, others as volunteers. At least several hundRed of those who volunteeRed were women. How are Latvian women volunteers of the Red Army represented and remembeRed in Soviet and post-Soviet historical accounts of World War II? Why have they not been remembeRed in most historical accounts of this period? How are ethnicity, gender, and associated social roles implicated in their historical marginality? These questions are situated in the context of literature on collective memory and microsociological literature on social roles, and used to develop the analytical concept of the unruly actor – historical actors who are challenges to dominant memory narratives because they fail to conform to normative social roles ascribed on the basis of, among others, gender and ethnicity. We use the case of Latvian ...

The Japanese Women's Liberation Movement and the United Red Army
Feminist Media Studies, 2012Co-Authors: Setsu ShigematsuAbstract:This article examines how the Japanese women's liberation movement responded to the news coverage of the United Red Army Incidents in 1972. The United Red Army was consideRed to be Japan's most violent domestic revolutionary sect. The United Red Army's misguided use of “revolutionary violence” in 1972 was devastating for Japanese leftist radicalism. The Japanese women's liberation movement was a political formation that emerged in 1970 in the wake of the Anti-Vietnam War and student movements of the late 1960s. In contrast to how the United Red Army received condemnation from across the political spectrum, from the right to the far-left, I focus on how these activists supported and identified with the women of the URA as an expression of their feminist politics. Through my analysis of the alternative media produced by these Japanese feminists and their multi-faceted support for the women in the URA, I argue that their intervention constituted a feminist praxis of critical solidarity and provides an illumi...

Lessons of the Winter War: A Study in the Military Effectiveness of the Red Army,
2008Co-Authors: Roger R. ReeseAbstract:The Soviet war against Finland (1939-40) is generally seen as a fi- asco because the U.S.S.R. failed to conquer and absorb Finland, as Joseph Stalin had planned; and the Finns inflicted losses on the Red Army that were far out of proportion to the small size of their Army and their own casualties. Access to fresh sources, archival and memoir, suggest that although the Soviets fell short of their political goals and performed dismally in combat, the Red Army was far more militarily effective than was appreciated by the Soviet military and political lead- ership, the German armed forces high command, and contemporary observers. Roger Reese is Professor of History at Texas A&M University. He specializes in the study of the social-historical aspects of the Soviet Army. He has written Stalin's Reluctant Soldiers: A Social History of the Red Army, 1925-1941 and Red Commanders: A Social History of the Soviet Army Officer Corps, 1918-1991. He is currently working on a book on the military effectiveness of the Soviet soldier during the Second World War.

Red Army opposition to forced collectivization 1929 1930 the Army wavers
Slavic Review, 1996Co-Authors: Roger R. ReeseAbstract:Some years ago, in his biography of Nikolai Bukharin, Stephen Cohen postulated that there was a reservoir of latent support in the Party's rural and urban cadres for Bukharin's moderate alternative to Stalin's rapid industrialization and the forced collectivization of agriculture of the first five-year plan.' Cohen did not suspect that potential support for Bukharin and his policies of gradual industrialization and retention of private farming also existed in the Red Army's company and battalion party cells, as well as among some regimental leadership of the political administration of the Red Army (PUR). At first glance, Cohen's seems to have been a natural omission; after all, the Army, with its hierarchy of commissars and political officers (politruki) ostensibly dedicated to the general line of the Party, appeaRed obedient and loyal to the dictates of the party Central Committee. PUR showed apparently little interest in the struggle between Stalin and Bukharin over future industrial policy. If anything, rapid industrialization would naturally seem to have been the most attractive alternative for the military because it would enable rearmament sooner rather than later. In addition, throughout the 1920s the Red Army had been demobilizing politicized soldiers whom it hoped would serve as cadres for the modernization and socialization of the countryside. That the regime had produced militant soldier cadres furtheRed the impression among historians of a pro-stalinist outlook in the military. In reality, however, many of the enlisted men and officers, both peasant and non-peasant, in the primary party organizations (cells) supported voluntary collectivization, higher fixed prices for state grain purchases and continued acceptance of individually owned private farms, if not outright state support for individual farming as Bukharin had argued for in 1928.2 Another reason that historians may have overlooked the Army as a potential pro-Bukharin stronghold is that Stalin attempted to employ the Army to promote socialized agriculture and create collective farms.

a sacRed duty Red Army women veterans remembering the great fatherland war 1941 1945
Australian Journal of Politics and History, 2008Co-Authors: Roger D MarkwickAbstract:Some 500,000 women fought with the Red Army in the Great Fatherland War, 1941-1945. Based on a selection of women veterans’ memoirs published since the demise of the Soviet Union, this article looks at what these women choose to remember about the war, and how, and equally what they choose to forget or remain silent about. The paper seeks to illuminate shaRed or disparate collective and individual memory and experiences. A particular objective of the paper is to assess the degree to which these written recollections coincide with or deviate from the pRedominant patriotic, heroic, masculine paradigm of the Great Fatherland War and its historiography. The overall objective of the paper is to humanise the female faces behind the masculine mask of the Red Army at war against Nazism.
