Abstract

The article discusses the historiography of the Soviet Second World War, highlighting the shift in focus from military history to civilian experiences. It explores various sources, including diaries, letters, and oral histories, to provide a diverse and nuanced understanding of the war. The book offers a kaleidoscopic view of wartime experiences, emphasizing the individual and group perspectives that shape our understanding of the conflict. The contributors aim to decolonize the history of the war by telling stories of diverse ethnicities and nationalities, moving beyond a singular Russian narrative. The article concludes by suggesting that an English translation of the book would be beneficial for a wider audience interested in Soviet history and the complexities of wartime experiences.
