Women, War and the Stalinist State, 1941-45

该项目将对苏联女兵在第二次世界大战中的经历进行社会文化分析。它将解决三个关键问题： 为什么女性会在战时扮演挑战苏联女性官方形象的角色？ 在20世纪30-40年代，女性战士的现象对女性、男性和苏联国家之间的关系有什么影响？ 这一现象对大规模动员以捍卫专制国家的悖论有何启示？ 预期的成果包括斯大林主义下妇女史学的重大概念进步，将在学术专著和参考期刊上发表。

This project will produce a sociocultural analysis of the experiences of Soviet women soldiers in the Second World War. It will address three pivotal questions: Why did women assume wartime roles that challenged official representations of Soviet women? What did the phenomenon of female fighters say about relations between women, men and the Soviet state in the 1930s-40s? What light does this phenomenon shed on the paradox of massive mobilisation in defence of a repressive state? Expected outcomes include a significant conceptual advance in the historiography of women under Stalinism, to be published in a scholarly monograph and refereed journals.
