Bachelor's and Master’s students, graduate students, researchers in history, culture, sociology, anthropology and philosophy, who are interested in the Soviet and post-Soviet periods.

English

The phenomenon of totalitarianism has revealed itself throughout the past century in many ways, including but not limited to Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany, Stalin’s Soviet Union and Mao’s China. The use of the term “totalitarianism” assumes some typological similarity of political regimes. We suggest totalitarianism as a complex phenomenon, requiring not only the study of state institutions but also an analysis of public life, which cannot be reduced to state policy only. Such an approach requires studying habits and perceptions of ordinary people who have to accept, to stand against or to avoid challenges posed by the state authorities. This view from ordinary people offers an opportunity to understand the lives of Soviet, German or Italian workers, peasants, teachers, scientists and creative class.

The objective of the Summer School is to bring together the perspectives from different disciplines to study the totalitarian society and its images in late soviet and post-soviet cultures and to familiarize the participants with the phenomena of the past and complex phenomena of modern historical memory.

Fee: 400 euro. DAAD and HSE scholarships available.
