Tens of thousands of monuments, mostly in small towns and villages, commemorate the Second World War and other conflicts, including Ukraine's resistance against Russia since 2014. The Russians have destroyed some of these memorials, renovated others, and built new monuments amid continued fighting. They also used war memorials in countless propaganda photos and videos aimed for a domestic audience and largely escaping Western attention. Why this fervor? Gabowitsch and Homanyuk draw on unique sources to trace the logic of Russian monument policies in occupied Ukraine. Mykola Homanyuk spent several months in occupied Kherson and collected sources on the ground, often at considerable risk to himself. This exceptional wartime on-site ethnography was complemented by systematic real-time data collection from online sources, many of which have since disappeared. The book shows how Russian invaders believed their own propaganda about Soviet war memorials being mistreated in Ukraine, and what they did when they discovered well-maintained monuments on the ground. More generally, it also discusses the link between monuments and territorial claims by irredentist empires"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aMemory, Heritage and Public History in Central and Eastern Europe Series 606 $aWar memorials$zUkraine 606 $aWar memorials$zUkraine$xPsychological aspects 606 $aPropaganda, Anti-Ukrainian$zRussia (Federation) 606 $aRussian Invasion of Ukraine, 2022 615 0$aWar memorials 615 0$aWar memorials$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aPropaganda, Anti-Ukrainian 615 0$aRussian Invasion of Ukraine, 2022. 676 $a940.54/65474 686 $aHIS010010$aHIS037080$aPOL000000$2bisacsh 700 $aGabowitsch$b Mischa$01285332 701 $aHomanyuk$b Mykola$01780342 712 02$aAustrian Science Fund$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910917181803321 996 $aMonuments and Territory$94304176 997 $aUNINA
