The making of a postwar Soviet nation. 330 $aIn Making Sense of War, Amir Weiner reconceptualizes the entire historical experience of the Soviet Union from a new perspective, that of World War II. Breaking with the conventional interpretation that views World War II as a post-revolutionary addendum, Weiner situates this event at the crux of the development of the Soviet--not just the Stalinist--system. Through a richly detailed look at Soviet society as a whole, and at one Ukrainian region in particular, the author shows how World War II came to define the ways in which members of the political elite as well as ordinary citizens viewed the world and acted upon their beliefs and ideologies. The book explores the creation of the myth of the war against the historiography of modern schemes for social engineering, the Holocaust, ethnic deportations, collaboration, and postwar settlements. For communist true believers, World War II was the purgatory of the revolution, the final cleansing of Soviet society of the remaining elusive "human weeds" who intruded upon socialist harmony, and it brought the polity to the brink of communism. Those ridden with doubts turned to the war as a redemption for past wrongs of the regime, while others hoped it would be the death blow to an evil enterprise. For all, it was the Armageddon of the Bolshevik Revolution. The result of Weiner's inquiry is a bold, compelling new picture of a Soviet Union both reinforced and enfeebled by the experience of total war. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPsychological aspects 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zSoviet Union 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xMoral and ethical aspects$zSoviet Union 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zUkraine$zVinnyt?si?a Region 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPropaganda 606 $aPropaganda, Soviet$xHistory 606 $aCommunism$zSoviet Union$xHistory 607 $aVinnyt?si?a Region (Ukraine)$xHistory$y20th century 610 $aAbwehr. 610 $aAllied-occupied Germany. 610 $aAnti-fascism. 610 $aAntisemitism (authors). 610 $aAntisemitism. 610 $aBanditry. 610 $aBattle cry. 610 $aBattle of Moscow. 610 $aBattle of Stalingrad. 610 $aBolsheviks. 610 $aCentral Committee. 610 $aCivil war. 610 $aCollaboration with the Axis Powers during World War II. 610 $aCollective punishment. 610 $aColonial war. 610 $aCombatant. 610 $aCommunism. 610 $aCounter-revolutionary. 610 $aDe-Stalinization. 610 $aDecossackization. 610 $aDekulakization. 610 $aDemagogue. 610 $aDemoralization (warfare). 610 $aDenazification. 610 $aDeportation. 610 $aDestruction battalions. 610 $aEinsatzgruppen. 610 $aEinsatzkommando. 610 $aGerman war crimes. 610 $aGreat Patriotic War (term). 610 $aGuerrilla warfare. 610 $aHitler's Willing Executioners. 610 $aHome front during World War II. 610 $aImperialism. 610 $aInsurgency. 610 $aInvasion of Poland. 610 $aJews. 610 $aKolkhoz. 610 $aKosovo Myth. 610 $aLazar Kaganovich. 610 $aMilitarism. 610 $aMilitarization. 610 $aMilitary occupation. 610 $aMolotov?Ribbentrop Pact. 610 $aNapoleonic Wars. 610 $aNational Reconciliation. 610 $aNationalist faction (Spanish Civil War). 610 $aNazi Party. 610 $aNazi propaganda. 610 $aNazism. 610 $aNikita Khrushchev. 610 $aNuremberg trials. 610 $aOn Revolution. 610 $aOn War. 610 $aOn the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences. 610 $aOperation Barbarossa. 610 $aPartisan (military). 610 $aPartitions of Poland. 610 $aPavlik Morozov. 610 $aPeople's Army. 610 $aPersecution. 610 $aPogrom. 610 $aPrisoner of war. 610 $aRadicalization. 610 $aReligious war. 610 $aReprisal. 610 $aResistance during World War II. 610 $aRevolutionary terror. 610 $aRussian Civil War. 610 $aRussification. 610 $aSchutzstaffel. 610 $aSeparatism. 610 $aSoviet Union in World War II. 610 $aSoviet Union. 610 $aSoviet partisans. 610 $aStalinism. 610 $aTerrorism. 610 $aThe German War. 610 $aThe Great Terror. 610 $aThe Origins of Totalitarianism. 610 $aThe Revolution Betrayed. 610 $aTotal war. 610 $aTotalitarianism. 610 $aTreason. 610 $aUkrainians. 610 $aUntermensch. 610 $aVictor Kravchenko (defector). 610 $aVinnytsia. 610 $aViolent Struggle. 610 $aWar correspondent. 610 $aWar crime. 610 $aWar effort. 610 $aWar song. 610 $aWar. 610 $aWarfare. 610 $aWilhelm Canaris. 610 $aWorld War I. 610 $aWorld War II. 610 $aYad Vashem. 610 $aZionism. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xMoral and ethical aspects 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xPropaganda. 615 0$aPropaganda, Soviet$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunism$xHistory. 676 $a940.53/1 700 $aWeiner$b Amir$f1961-$01020854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826693803321 996 $aMaking sense of war$92416375 997 $aUNINA
