| Summary/Abstract |
The cult of the ‘Great Patriotic War’ regularly cycled through all Soviet administrations after it was initially crafted under Stalin and became further entrenched in everyday life under Leonid Brezhnev. The popularity and appeal of the cult rested on the fact that it was created by a combination of efforts that included the state’s propaganda apparatus, as well as the editors and correspondents of leading newspapers, the latter of which consisted of some of the most talented authors in the Soviet Union. Stalin’s censorship ensured that the reading public was regularly exposed to only sanitized versions of the war that rarely dealt in nuance, but offered much in the form of heroic self-sacrifice by Red Army men and women with Stalin acting as the cornerstone of the Soviet war effort. Nikita Khrushchev’s Thaw saw a flood of literature on the war, but most continued to retain Stalin’s narrative, which Brezhnev’s regime reinforced with public commemorations and memorials. While Boris Yeltsin was able to move away from the cult after the fall of the Soviet Union, Vladimir Putin has repurposed it and put it to work for his administration, appealing to the public with Stalin era rhetoric recycled for present day needs.

| Summary/Abstract |
BEFORE the war, Abai sewed Astrakhan hats for colonels and generals, which exempted him from the draft. It stayed that way until early 1943, when keeping able-bodied men from combat service became inadvisable. Abai was assigned to transport ammunition by horse and cart. He worked conscientiously, and by the time Soviet forces entered Germany, he had been awarded three medals: two for Meritorious Service in Combat, and one for the Liberation of Warsaw, where he had never actually set foot. This was standard practice for those toilers who served honorably but were not directly involved in combat.

| Summary/Abstract |
EVERY NATION has its own particular national features, but an important and unifying trait of each and every one of them is respect for its ancestors and the solicitous preservation of their memory, particularly if we are talking about those who died for their homeland. Addressing a sitting of "Pobeda" (Victory) Organizational Committee on 27 January, 2009, President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev noted the special significance of the war memorial effort and care of the burial sites and memorials of the war dead, pointing out that this is the shared task and responsibility of all the government bodies.

| Summary/Abstract |
At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War most Soviet scholars went into the army or were evacuated from Moscow and Leningrad to faraway regions of the Soviet Union. During the war, Soviet Orientalists continued their research work in Moscow, Siberia and eastern regions of the country, and on Chinese territory, where Russian Sinologists were educated. In 1944, the activity of educational and research institutions in Moscow and Leningrad was completely restored, and Soviet Sinology continued its successful development.

| Summary/Abstract |
THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR, which started 80 years ago, remains both a relevant and painful topic for our country. Russians' interest in those events is supported by numerous works of research and journalism, as well as projects that allow people to trace the fate of their relatives on the battlefields of that war. However, manipulations of public opinion at the global level that seek to belittle the role of our country in the victory over the Axis powers are distorting historical memory and leading to attempts to revise the outcomes of World War II.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article analyses Soviet agitprop that was produced for Kazakhstani soldiers during the Great Patriotic War. The author argues that one of the main goals of this propaganda was to cultivate a complementary Soviet-Kazakh identity. Conditions at the front made this difficult to accomplish, but Soviet propagandists persisted in tailoring their propaganda for the benefit of Kazakh soldiers. As the war progressed, Kazakh front-line propaganda acquired a more unambiguously Soviet orientation, a consequence of the elimination of key themes derived from Kazakh national history and considered too politically volatile by the Communist Party. The article concludes by suggesting that the narratives articulated during World War II by Soviet propagandists went a long ways towards setting the contours of a prescribed Soviet-Kazakh identity.

| Summary/Abstract |
HE TRAGIC DAY for the entire Soviet people - June 22, 1941 - radically changed the operation of all foreign intelligence. The Edict of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet of July 20 merged the People's Commissariat for Interior Affairs (NKVD) and People Commissariat for National Security (NKGB) to form a single entity - the NKVD in order to concentrate the resources of state security agencies during wartime. The Fifth (Foreign) Directorate of the Main Directorate of State Security (GUGB) was reorganized into the First Directorate of the NKVD. Shortly before the war it had a staff of 700, ran 40 intelligence stations abroad with some 240 intelligence officers. The latter were connected to over 600 agents.
