Patriotic discourses in Russia's penal peripheries: remembering the Mordovan Gulag / Pallot, Judith; Piacentini, Laura; Moran, Dominique   Journal Article
Pallot, Judith Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract Using materials gathered during field work in the penal region in the southwest corner of the Republic of Mordoviya in 2007, the authors examine the official representations of the history of the Mordovan gulag from 1930 to the present day. Through an analysis of the penal authority's institutional newspaper, its museum and anniversary celebrations marking the founding of the Mordovan gulag, the authors argue that a stress in the official history on continuity and tradition of service is evidence of growing confidence of this part of the security apparatus after their loss of status in the 1990s associated with the collapse of the penal economy and negative comment by international monitors and domestic penal reformers.

Prisoners wives in post-Soviet Russia: for my husband I am pining! / Katz, Elena; Pallot, Judith   Journal Article
Pallot, Judith Journal Article

Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract The identity of a prisoner's wife is often a shameful societal stigma. Yet Russia's unique history of imprisonment has provided an unusually positive trope for women who have to come to terms with their partners' incarceration: the 'Decembrist wife' (dekabristka). This trope originated in the aftermath of the 1825 'Decembrist' uprising-the first anti-monarchist revolt in modern Russian history. A handful of wives of the perpetrators voluntarily joined their husbands in Siberian exile and, in leaving behind families and comforts, created a precedent to be glorified for future generations. Upheld in Russian national mythology as a model of the exemplary wife, the dekabristka identity lives on. This paper examines its enduring power and significance in contemporary Russia
