Dear Friends, The University of Pittsburgh Press is pleased to present its new and recent titles in Russian, Central Asian, and East European studies. This catalog represents our latest offerings in programs that for more than twenty years have been committed to publishing the best scholarship in the field. The origins of this effort can be traced to 1984, when Pittsburghs Russian and East European Studies series began. Since then REES has grown to include a wide array of distinguished books from a variety of disciplinary, ideological, and methodological perspectives on every aspect of the regions history, politics, society, economics, and culture. REES is under the general editorship of Jonathan Harris. Our Central Eurasia in Context series is under the general editorship of Douglas Northrop. This intriguing region has a rich historical legacy. Combining abundant natural resources and daunting terrain, alternately ignored and coveted by outside powers, this continental heartland is marked by many fault lines of historical and contemporary global conflict and plays a vital role in world politics. Yet for all its importance, Central Eurasia remains insufficiently explored by modern scholarship. This series addresses that need. We look forward to expanding and deepening our publishing efforts to bring you the best new scholarship on this important part of the world.
Sincerely,
Peter W. Kracht Editorial Director

First Films of the Holocaust
NEW
Soviet Cinema and the Genocide of the Jews, 193846
Jeremy HICKS
First Films of the Holocaust tackles a little known but deeply important subjectSoviet filmmakers, who were the first ones to visualize the mass murder of Jews and others on the Eastern front, the event we now call the Holocaust. In this important book, Jeremy Hicks shows how the filmmakers documented their horrible subject and then how the Soviet government used this frightening footage to galvanize a population. A fusion of film analysis and history, this book will be a must-have for anyone interested in filmic representations of the Holocaust. David Shneer, University of Colorado

RUSSIA
most early Western perceptions of the Holocaust were based on newsreels filmed during the allied liberation of Germany in 1945. Little, however, was reported of the initial wave of material from Soviet filmmakers who were in fact the first to document these horrors. In First Films of the Holocaust, Jeremy Hicks presents a pioneering study of Soviet contributions to the growing public awareness of the horrors of Nazi rule. even before the war, the Soviet film Professor Mamlock, which premiered in the United States in 1938 and coincided with the Kristallnacht pogrom, helped reinforce anti-Nazi sentiment. yet, Soviet films were often dismissed or even banned in the West as Communist propaganda. Hicks recovers much of the major film work in Soviet depictions of the Shoa and views them within their political context, both locally and internationally. Overwhelmingly, wartime films were skewed to depict Soviet resistance, red funerals, and calls for vengeance, rather than the singling out of Jewish victims by the Nazis. Almost no personal testimony of victims or synchronous sound was recorded, furthering the disconnection of the viewer to the victims. Hicks examines correspondence, scripts, reviews, and compares edited with unedited film, to unearth the deliberately hidden Jewish aspects of Soviet depictions of the German invasion and occupation. To Hicks, its in the silences, gaps, and ellipses that the films speak most clearly. Additionally, he details the reasons why Soviet Holocaust films have been subsequently erased from collective memory in the West and the Soviet Union: their graphic horror, their use as propaganda tools, and the postwar rise of the red Scare in the United States and anti-Semitic campaigns in the Soviet Union.

Fascination and Enmity
Russia and Germany as Entangled Histories, 19141945
edited by mICHAeL DAvID-FOx, PeTer HOLQUIST, and ALexANDer m. mArTIN
NEW
Rather than once again comparing the horrors of Nazism and Stalinism, this important new volume brings together contributions by major scholars engaged in interrogating the tangled relationship between Russia and Germany in the first part of the twentieth century. By focusing on the events surrounding the two world wars, the authors provide crucial insights into the manner in which Germans and Russians viewed each other and how such perceptions influenced their actions in what has been called the age of extremes. Omer Bartov, Brown University This volume, which collects pioneering work by outstanding historians of Russia and Germany, reveals the enormous promise of transnational history. Every chapter places significant events in a new light, enriching our understanding of perhaps the most crucial relationship of the twentieth century. Timothy Snyder, Yale University This innovative book splinters the ice in which the humanly wrenching dramas of twentieth-century German-Russian interactions have been locked: the fate of prisoners of war, ordinary soldiersand prominent intellectualsfeelings for their enemies and their own cause, the brutality of the Soviet occupation of defeated Germany. The politics of official propaganda and international communism also appear in a new light. These imaginative explorations of newly accessible sources push scholarships cutting edge forward.

russia and Germany have had a long history of significant cultural, political, and economic exchange. Despite these beneficial interactions, stereotypes of the alien Other persisted. Germans perceived russia as a vast frontier with unlimited potential, yet infused with an Asianness that explained its backwardness and despotic leadership. russians admired German advances in science, government, and philosophy, but saw their people as lifeless and obsessed with order. Fascination and Enmity presents an original transnational history of these two entangled nations during the critical era of the world wars. Through accounts of fellow travelers, POWs, war correspondents, soldiers on the front, propagandists, revolutionaries, the Comintern, and wartime and postwar occupations, the contributors reveal the psyche of the russian-German dynamic and its powerful influence over politics, the military, and ideology.

Swans of the Kremlin
Ballet and Power in Soviet Russia
CHrISTINA ezrAHI
RUSSIA
In Swans of the Kremlin Christina Ezrahi reconstructs long-ago debates and makes us hearas though we were flies on the wallvoices arguing about what is or isnt Soviet and even the quality of Russian versus Czech tights. She views Soviet ballet as a dynamic enterprise negotiating the daily demands of a state cultural project and professional issues that often became an expression of political resistance. Lynn Garafola, Columbia University Ezrahis study addresses the basic questions surrounding the mysteries of the production of art in the Soviet Union: Who called the shots, and how did they do it? Her meticulous archival research finally answers questions regarding the autonomy of the artist and institution, with analyses that are thoughtful, provocative, and illuminating. Tim Scholl, Oberlin College
Classical ballet was perhaps the most visible symbol of aristocratic culture and its isolation from the rest of russian society under the tsars. In the wake of the October revolution, ballet, like all of the arts, fell under the auspices of the Soviet authorities, who attempted to mold the former imperial ballet to suit their revolutionary cultural agenda and reeducate the masses. As Christina ezrahis groundbreaking study reveals, they were far from successful in this ambitious effort to gain complete control over art. Swans of the Kremlin offers a fascinating glimpse at the collision of art and politics during the volatile first fifty years of the Soviet period. ezrahi shows how the producers and performers of russias two major troupes, the mariinsky (later Kirov) and the Bolshoi, quietly but effectively resisted Soviet cultural hegemony during this era. Despite all controls put on them, they managed to maintain the classical forms and traditions of their rich artistic past and to further develop their art form. These aesthetic and professional standards proved to be the power behind the ballets worldwide appeal. The troupes soon became the showpiece of Soviet cultural achievement, as they captivated Western audiences during the Cold War period. Based on extensive research into official archives, and personal interviews with artists and staff, ezrahi presents the first-ever account of the inner workings of these famed ballet troupes during the Soviet era. She follows their struggles in the postrevolutionary period, their peak during the golden age of the 1950s and 1960s, and concludes with their monumental productions staged to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the revolution in 1968.

The History of Liberalism in Russia
Victor LeontoVitsch Foreword by ALeksAndr soLzhenitsyn
An illuminating and profound analysis. . . . One of the most thoughtful and penetrating studies that have appeared in the field of Russian history in any country for some time. Donald Treadgold, American Historical Review The legend still persists that there was never any choice in Russia between dark reaction and red revolution, and that liberal order was an alien plant which could never have taken root. . . . Leontovitsch has done a great service by restoring some of the true perspective. Leonard Schapiro, Times Literary Supplement This book has that elegant quality of successful works that, while elucidating a specific subject, throw light in passing on other questions that are sometimes of greater significance. Thus, we find in this history of liberalism a profound analysis of some of the key factors that made revolution possible in Russia. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, from the Foreword

edited by evGeNy DOBreNKO and GALIN TIHANOv Winner of the 2012 Efim Etkind Prize for the best book on Russian culture, awarded by the European University at St. Petersburg, Russia
This is a uniquely important book. Unique, because there is no other serious scholarly history that encompasses the whole spectrum of modern Russian literary theory and criticism. Important, because the schools and thinkers who are studied in this anthology have played a crucial role in shaping debates about literature and its relation to society all over the globe.

Into the Cosmos

Space Exploration and Soviet Culture
edited by JAmeS T. ANDreWS and ASIF A. SIDDIQI
This insightful examination of Soviet culture does not whitewash it, but shows instead a society seeking to recover from the Stalinist era by expressing genuine pride in a new achievement, all the while exhibiting early cynicism about some of Soviet Communisms promises. Choice An important work in that it explores the public perceptions [of] an event that has never before happened in the history of mankind . . . informative and engaging.

Brezhnevs Folly
The Building of BAM and Late Soviet Socialism
CHrISTOPHer J. WArD
This excellent monograph details the construction of one of the largest public works projects of all time, the Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) Railway. The last instance of Soviet gigantomania and a pet project of Leonid Brezhnev. BAM was envisioned as a demonstration of ideological fervor and Soviet prowess. In fact, BAM was a disaster from start to finish. Brezhnevs Folly benefits from the authors thorough familiarity with rich archival materials as well as personal interviews. It deserves the attention of every specialist in modern Russian history. Russian Review
Wards important study successfully situates BAM within Brezhnevs developed socialism, and it indicates the bankruptcy of late Soviet efforts to demonstrate the glories of enlightened rule. Important for specialists on Soviet politics and history, and more generally for historians of technology. Slavic Review

In this study of the Great Purges, [Halfins] examination of Stalinist language and ideology does much to deepen our understanding of this extremely disturbing and perplexing event. Slavic Review Paints a vivid picture of a narrow but significant slice of the Terror. A valuable work on the dynamics of fear. American Historical Review An important contribution to the scholarly understanding of perhaps the least explained phenomenon in Russias modern history, the upsurge of mass political violence during the late 1930s, widely known as the Great Terror.

Speaking Soviet with an Accent presents the first english-language study of Soviet culture clubs in Kyrgyzstan. These clubs profoundly impacted the future of Kyrgyz cultural identity and fostered the work of many artists, such as famed novelist Chingiz Aitmatov. Based on extensive oral history and archival research, Ali men follows the rise of culture clubs beginning in the 1920s, when they were established to inculcate Soviet ideology and create a sedentary lifestyle among the historically nomadic Kyrgyz people. These red clubs are fondly remembered by locals as one of the few places where lively activities and socialization with other members of their ail (village or tribal unit) could be found. Through lectures, readings, books, plays, concerts, operas, visual arts, and cultural Olympiads, locals were exposed to Soviet notions of modernization. But these programs also encouraged the creation of a newfound Kyrgyzness that preserved aspects of local traditions and celebrated the achievements of Kyrgyz citizens in the building of a new state. These ideals proved appealing to many Kyrgyz, who, for centuries, had seen riches and power in the hands of a few tribal chieftains and russian imperialists. This book offers new insights into the formation of modern cultural identity in Central Asia. Here, like their imperial predecessors, the Soviets sought to extend their physical borders and political influence. But men also reveals the remarkable agency of the Kyrgyz people, who employed available resources to meld their own heritage with Soviet and russian ideologies and form artistic expressions that continue to influence Kyrgyzstan today.

Situated on the border of Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan, the city is subject to a Kyrgyz government, but the majority of its population are ethnic Uzbeks. Conflict between the two groups led to riots in 1990, and again in 2010, when thousands, mostly ethnic Uzbeks, were killed and nearly half a million more fled across the border into Uzbekistan. The first ethnographic monograph based on extensive local-language fieldwork in a Central Asian city, this study examines the culturally specific ways that Osh Uzbeks are making sense of their post-Soviet dilemmas. These practices reveal deep connections with Soviet and Islamic sensibilities and with everyday acts of dwelling in urban neighborhoods. Osh Uzbeks engage the spaces of their city to shape their orientations relative to the wider world, postsocialist transformations, Islamic piety, moral personhood, and effective leadership.

Politics and Islam in Central Asia
erIC mCGLINCHey
McGlinchey makes a powerful case for rethinking how social scientists understand politics in authoritarian regimes and how practitioners should be going about promoting reform. Rich with pathbreaking insights into the nature of Central Asian politics and the role of Islam, this book is founded on impressive on-the-ground fieldwork that brings the subject to life for readers. Henry Hale, George Washington University McGlincheys bookthe product of extensive field research, impressive analytic skills, and a keen mindrepresents an excellent contribution to our understanding of state building and regime type in Central Asia. With a clear and engaging writing style that is rare among social scientists, he forwards an argument that is at once complex and analytically rewarding. The book will be crucial for anyone hoping to learn about or conduct research on the Central Asian state. Edward Schatz, University of Toronto

In the post-Soviet era, democracy has made little progress in Central Asia. Chaos, Violence, Dynasty presents a compelling explanation for this through a comparison of the divergent political courses taken by Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan in the wake of Soviet rule. While the Soviet legacy is crucial to understanding the varying outcomes in these countries, eric mcGlinchey also examines the economics, religion, politics, foreign investment, and ethnic composition of these nations for insights into their relative strengths and weaknesses today. Soviet rule and influence in the region was inconsistent. Thus, their manipulation of the politics of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan in the late 1980s solidified the role of local elites, while in Kyrgyzstan moscow looked away as leadership crumbled during the ethnic riots of 1990. Today, Kyrgyzstan is the poorest and most politically unstable country in the region, thanks to a small, corrupt, and fractured political elite. In Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov maintains power through the brutal suppression of disaffected muslims, who are nevertheless rising in numbers and influence. In Kazakhstan, a political machine fueled by oil wealth and patronage underlies the greatest economic equity in the region, and far less political violence. This timely study concludes with a call for a more realistic and flexible view of the authoritarian systems in the region, if there is to be any potential benefit from foreign engagement with the nations of Central Asia and similar political systems globally.

Curative Powers
Medicine and Empire in Stalins Central Asia
PAULA A. mICHAeLS Winner of the 2003 Heldt Prize from the Association for Women in Slavic Studies
In this groundbreaking work, Michaels argues that the spread from the 1920s through the 1950s of Soviet medical propaganda, authorities, and institutions into Central Asiaspecifically Kazakhstanwas not a benign, humanitarian action of the workers state. Michaels instead makes the case that biomedicine served the Soviets as a Trojan horse of empirecarrying in its belly the seeds of pan-Soviet identity and Soviet political domination. An excellent book that explores an important subject in an innovative, interesting way. Slavic Review
Michaels skillfully analyzes Soviet biomedicines impact on Kazakh peoples. Her findings will be of interest both to historians of the Soviet Union and to scholars of the field of comparative colonialism. A very important contribution to the history of the Soviet empire. Journal of Modern History Curative Powers is the first full-length study to properly apply recent concepts from medical anthropology to the history of Soviet medicine. Having moved out so far ahead of the rest of the field, [Michaels] can rightly rest on her laurels and wait for the field to catch up. Canadian Journal of History

East European Prison Literature, 19451990
HArOLD B. SeGeL
NEW
The work of a master scholar and translator, this is a powerful and moving collection of works by those who suffered in the infamous prisons of Communist Europe. The range of experiences reflected in these writings reveals the nobility and resilience individuals are capable of in the face of totalitarian inhumanity. Readers of Segels latest magisterial contribution to our understanding of the literature and experience of this region will find themselves again profoundly in his debt. Paul Knoll, University of Southern California Harold B. Segel has made another extraordinary contribution to our understanding of the history and literature of Eastern Europe. These poems, stories, letters, and essays, by writers who were imprisoned under Communist governments, are the fascinating and moving documents of one crucial aspect of European intellectual life in the age of the Cold War. Such writings enhance our understanding of numerous national literatures while, at the same time, suggesting a more comprehensive literature of Eastern Europe, based on common historical experience. Only a scholar of Segel's tremendous erudition and dedication could have envisioned and carried out such an important and revelatory project. Larry Wolff, New York University

Because of their visibility in society and ability to shape public opinion, prominent literary figures were among the first targets of Communist repression, torture, and incarceration. Authors such as Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn famously documented the experience of internment in Soviet gulags. Little, however, has been published in the english language on the work of writers imprisoned by other countries of the Soviet bloc. For the first time, The Walls Behind the Curtain presents a collection of works from east european novelists, poets, playwrights, and essayists who wrote during or after their captivity under communism. Harold B. Segel paints a backdrop of the political culture and prison and labor camp systems of each country, detailing the onerous conditions that writers faced. He then offers biographical information on each writer and excerpts of their writing. Notable literary figures included are Vclav Havel, Eva Kantrkov, Milan imeka, Adam Michnik, Milovan Djilas, Paul Goma, Tibor Dry, Visar Zhiti, and many others. The writings are complemented by the work of the celebrated Albanian artist maks velo, himself a prisoner in a forced labor camp at Spa, with several illustrations included from the time of his internment.

The Workers State
Industrial Labor and the Making of Socialist Hungary, 19441958
mArK PITTAWAy
Mark Pittaway makes a powerful argument for the necessity of studying industrial communities to understand the dynamics of early socialist state formation in Hungary. Pittaway takes full advantage of the rich archival materials he has carefully studied, giving us a nuanced sense of everyday life, as well as indicating how poor our conception of Hungarian industrial working class experience in the 1950s has been. Martha Lampland, University of California, San Diego In this imaginatively conceived and meticulously researched book, the late Mark Pittaway masterfully reconstructs the history of Hungarys working class in the early years of Communist rule. Fiercely committed to a history from below in all its messy complexity, Pittaway uncovers the strategies of negotiation, bargaining, and resistance with which Hungarian workers made a place for themselves in the newly created workers state. This is social history at its finest, theoretically sophisticated, lucidly argued, and provocative in its claims. It will be essential reading for all historians of East-Central Europe.

In 1956, Hungarian workers joined students on the streets to protest years of wage and benefit cuts enacted by the Communist regime. Although quickly suppressed by Soviet forces, the uprising led to changes in party leadership and conciliatory measures that would influence labor politics for the next thirty years. In The Workers State, mark Pittaway presents a groundbreaking study of the complexities of the Hungarian working class, its relationship to the Communist Party, and its major political role during the foundational period of socialism (1944 1958). Through case studies of three industrial centersjpest, Tatabnya, and Zala CountyPittaway analyzes the dynamics of gender, class, generation, skill level, and rural versus urban location to reveal the embedded hierarchies within Hungarian labor. He further demonstrates how industries themselves, from oil and mining to armaments and textiles, possessed their own unique labor subcultures. From the outset, the socialist state won favor with many workers, as they had grown weary of the disparity and oppression of class systems under fascism. By the early 1950s, however, a gap between the aspirations of labor and the goals of the state began to widen. In the Stalinist drive toward industrialization, stepped up production measures, shortages of goods and housing, wage and benefit cuts, and suppression became widespread. many histories of this period have focused on Communist terror tactics and the brutal suppression of a pliant population. In contrast, Pittaways social chronicle sheds new light on working-class structures and the determination of labor to pursue its own interests and affect change in the face of oppression. It also offers new understandings of the role of labor and the importance of local histories in eastern europe under communism.

The Ustasha Regime and the Cultural Politics of Fascism, 19411945
rOry yeOmANS
NEW
Challenging standard interpretations of fascism while probing previously ignored aspects of the Ustasha regime, this provocative analysis of the politics of cultural and ethnic homogeneity in the Independent State of Croatia (19411945) will become one of the most discussed academic books for many years to come and an essential reading for scholars and students of the Holocaust. Marius Turda, Oxford Brookes University
The fascist Ustasha regime and its militias carried out a ruthless campaign of ethnic cleansing that killed an estimated half million Serbs, Jews, and Gypsies, and ended only with the defeat of the Axis powers in World War II. In Visions of Annihilation, rory yeomans analyzes the Ustasha movements use of culture to appeal to radical nationalist sentiments and legitimize its genocidal policies. He shows how the movement attempted to mobilize poets, novelists, filmmakers, visual artists, and intellectuals as purveyors of propaganda and visionaries of a utopian society. meanwhile, newspapers, radio, and speeches called for the expulsion, persecution, or elimination of alien and enemy populations to purify the nation. He describes how the dual concepts of annihilation and national regeneration were disseminated to the wider population and how they were interpreted at the grassroots level. yeomans examines the Ustasha movement in the context of other fascist movements in europe. He cites their similar appeals to idealistic youth, the economically disenfranchised, racial purists, social radicals, and Catholic clericalists. yeomans further demonstrates how fascism created rituals and practices that mimicked traditional religious faiths and celebrated martyrdom. Visions of Annihilation chronicles the foundations of the Ustasha movement, its key actors and ideologies, and reveals the unique cultural, historical, and political conditions present in interwar Croatia that led to the rise of fascism and contributed to the cataclysmic events that tore across the continent.

Through discussions of individual architects and projects, as well as building typologies, professional associations, and institutional organization, it opens a rare window into the cultural and economic life of Eastern Europe during the early postwar period. Eurotexture Groundbreaking . . .

eastern european prefabricated housing blocks are often vilified as the visible manifestations of everything that was wrong with state socialism. For many inside and outside the region, the uniformity of these buildings became symbols of the dullness and drudgery of everyday life. Manufacturing a Socialist Modernity complicates this common perception. Analyzing the cultural, intellectual, and professional debates surrounding the construction of mass housing in early postwar Czechoslovakia, Kimberly elman zarecor shows that these housing blocks served an essential function in the planned economy and reflected an interwar aesthetic, derived from constructivism and functionalism, that carried forward into the 1950s. With a focus on prefabricated and standardized housing built from 1945 to 1960, zarecor offers broad and innovative insights into the countrys transition from capitalism to state socialism. She demonstrates that during this shift, architects and engineers consistently strove to meet the needs of Czechs and Slovaks despite challenging economic conditions, a lack of material resources, and manufacturing and technological limitations. In the process, architects were asked to put aside their individual creative aspirations and transform themselves into technicians and industrial producers.

The Rise of Modern Yiddish Culture

DAvID e. FISHmAN
Fishmans no-nonsense account of modern Yiddish and twentieth-century Jewish schisms eschews the nostalgia and sentimentality associated with Yiddish, and gives a vivid picture of how Yiddish and Yiddish literature were promoted by even the socialist and anti-Zionist Bundists as a means of preserving Jewishness. International Jerusalem Post Yiddish was above all a language of the people. Hebrew was the tongue of traditional Jewish learning. German, Polish and Russian, by contrast, offered the Jews a way from isolation to assimilation, cultural as much as linguistic. These multiple associations are all incisively reconstructed and investigated in Fishmans [book]. It gives a vivid sense of a language that flourished in the first decades of the twentieth century.

MELLON SLAVIC STUDIES INITIATIVE

A B O U T THE INITIATIVE
The field of Russian, East European, and Central Asian studies is actively redefining itself in response to the dramatic transformations of the post-Soviet period and the realities of an increasingly interconnected world. To encourage fresh perspectives by emerging scholars of this dynamic region, Northwestern, Pittsburgh, and Wisconsin university presses are launching a joint publishing initiative supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Northwestern University Press
A R EA S OF INTEREST
Northwestern seeks studies of Slavic literature, art, and culture. Pittsburgh is looking for projects in the social, political, environmental, urban, and cultural history of the former Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and Central Asia. Wisconsin is especially interested in cultural and intellectual history, literary and film studies, anthropology, and human rights, with a focus on Russia and Eastern Europe.
