This ar... more Red-Army-Forest and White Wings on the Cliff. A Look at Russian Memoryscapes in Israel.
This article provides insight into Israeli memoryscapes produced by, or connected to, (post-) Soviet immigrants, focussing on three aspects: The popular new performative initiative Immortal Regiment, which is spreading internationally, new commemorative spaces in the urban landscape, and the planned Museum of the Jewish Soldier in World War II. With a special reference to the city of Beer Sheva, the author outlines the changing position of Russian places and practices within Israeli cities and society, from a marginal position towards acceptance into a national narrative.

Drawing on material presented in the exhibition "Der 9. Mai. Formen der Erinnerung an das Kriegsende 1945" (May 9. Forms of Commemmorating the End of the War 1945) curated at the German-Russian Museum Berlin-Karlshorst, as well as on observations and an interview project. In German

With these priorities, the strategy of relying on a mixture of city and private investments, the city government’s policies contribute to an increasing exclusiveness of the city centre.

Kulturwissenschaftler untersuchen am Beispiel von Berlin und Moskau, wie aus Kultur Kapital gemacht wird.

Mai ist der weltweit wahrscheinlich am breitesten zelebrierte Kriegs-gedenktag und vor allem in Russland, den ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken und Ländern mit großen russischsprachigen Bevölkerungsanteilen ein Volks-und Familienfest. Der 2015 gefeierte 70. Jahrestag des Kriegsendes 1945 war mit besonderer Emotionalität aufgeladen. Das Buch liefert eine Biographie dieses Tages, beschreibt Nachleben und Verwandlungen der sowjetischen Festkultur, gesellschaftliche Initiativen wie das »Unsterbliche Regiment«, den Kampf um das Kriegsgedenken in der Ukraine und anderen postsozia-listischen Staaten sowie die Bedeutung des sowjetisch geprägten Kriegsge-denkens im vereinten Deutschland. Aber auch die Bedeutung dieses Tages für das Selbstverständnis der russischsprachigen Minderheiten von Estland bis Deutschland wird betrachtet.
