Description
The lecture will discuss the controversial issue of violence against Jews during the first weeks after the beginning of the German-Soviet war on 22 June 1941. It will differentiate between three closely interrelated contexts from which the violence originated, i.e. acitivities of the German police and armed forces, of the Ukrainian nationalists of the OUN and local militias, and spontaneous acts of violence, destruction and robbery from the local population. The lecture will start with an analysis of events in Lviv and will discuss the case of Lviv in the context of the general phenomena of anti-Jewish violence in Western Ukraine and beyond in this period.

Friday, November 6th Gay Nazis on Campus? The Puzzling Evidence from Hamburg during the Third Reich
Date Time Location Friday, November 6, 2009 2:00PM - 4:00PM Seminar Room 208N, Munk Centre For International Studies
1 Devonshire Place+ Register for this Event Print this Event Bookmark this Event
Description
By a curious chance, the three professors who were brought into the University of Hamburg at the start of the Third Reich specifically in order to nazify the curriculum were all on different occasions a few years later arrested on separate charges of homosexual offences, and dismissed. Was this merely a coincidence, or does it indicate a tendency for National Socialist stalwarts to be gay? Or were the charges trumped up by opponents of the Nazis, in order to get rid of these ideological fanatics? The presentation explores this conundrum through a detailed examination of each case.
This seminar is part of Holocaust Education Week.

Central Asia Program Film Screening
Description
The film tells of the tragic events in the aftermath of the Kyrgyz popular revolt of 1916. “White Mountains” was the first film to express the spirit of the nation, its wisdom, strength and perseverance during hard times. The image of the Blind Mother (actress Baken Kydykeeva) who takes up the burden of all the hardships that befall her is a metaphor for the miserable Motherland – a noble blind woman, who lost her sight mourning her dead husband and son. Only one daughter remains with her – Uldzhan – and to make her happy, the Blind Mother agrees to her journey to the city with the young man Mukash. Mukash’s devotion overcomes all the trials and tribulations that haunt the two young people. The film was awarded the First Prize at the1965 Almaty Film Festival of Central Asian Republics. The distribution title of the film was “Hard Passage”. It was selected by Kyrgyz cinematographers and film critics for the collection of the Central Asian Cinema compiled by OSI, Budapest and the Center of Central Asian Cinematography in 2006 in order to save the first work of the national cinematography, renowned for its outstanding artistic qualities. Melis Ubukeyev, Kyrgyzstan, 1964, Russian/Subtitles: English, 63 min, fiction film

Description
The Dead Hand: The Untold Story of the Cold War Arms Race and Its Dangerous Legacy, David E. Hoffman, Doubleday, Sept. 22, 2009.
The Dead Hand is the story of people –- presidents, scientists, engineers, diplomats, soldiers, spies, scholars, politicians and others — who sought to brake the speeding locomotive of the arms race. They recoiled from the balance of terror out of personal experience as designers and stewards of the weapons, or because of their own fears of the consequences of war, or because of the burdens that the arsenals placed on their peoples. At the center of the drama are Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, both of them romantics and revolutionaries, who sensed the rising danger and challenged the established order. But they were not alone; many others with imagination, determination, guile and conscience sought to rein in the danger. The goal of the book is to capture the dramatic narrative of how the Cold War arms race came to an end, and of its legacy of peril – and to tell it from both sides. The book reveals for the first time the inner workings of the Kremlin decision-making in the Gorbachev-Reagan years through original documents which cast fresh light on Gorbachev’s momentous battles against the military. While nuclear weapons were the overwhelming threat of the epoch, another frightening weapon of mass casualty was being grown in flasks and fermenters. From 1975 to 1991, the Soviet Union covertly built the largest biological weapons program in the world. Soviet scientists experimented with genetic engineering to create pathogens which could cause unstoppable diseases. If the orders came, Soviet factory directors were ready to produce bacteria by the ton that could sicken and kill millions of people. The book explores the origins and expansion of this illicit, sprawling endeavor, and how it was discovered.
David E. Hoffman is a contributing editor at the Washington Post. He covered the White House during the presidencies of Ronald Reagan and
George H. W. Bush, and was subsequently diplomatic correspondent and Jerusalem correspondent. From 1995 to 2001, he served as Moscow
bureau chief, and later as foreign editor and assistant managing editor for foreign news. He is the author of The Oligarchs: Wealth and Power in the New Russia. He lives in Maryland.

Monday, November 16th Stalin’s Foreign and Domestic Policies: Dealing with the National Question in an Imperial Context, 1901-1926

Description
Using Stalin’s Works, the talk will explore the role played by the linkage between the national question, and national policies, and international relations in the evolution of Stalin’s foreign policy conceptions between 1901 and 1926. The analysis will proceed by temporal blocks linked to Stalin’s formative stages and activities. It will sketch the categories Stalin adopted, or personally elaborated, during each block, and follow their evolution in the following stages. The relevance of Stalin’s experience in dealing with the national question in the Tsarist and Soviet contexts in the formation of his “inter-national” ideas and strategies, as well as that of these ideas and strategies for Stalin “high” foreign policy, 1939-1953, will be discussed.

Description
The modernity of a state relies not least on its ability to handle information and to centralize knowledge. This was one of the key problems of the early bureaucratization process in 18th century Poland. Lacking the unifying force of absolutistic leadership, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, with its variety of cultures, local traditions, and competing authorities, could hardly establish a common understanding of administrative realities. The lecture will start with a discussion of Saxon influences and then try to shed light on the ‘Polish way’ of bureaucratic modernization.

Admission is free and open to the public.
CERES presents the first full screening of a major new documentary, exploring the complex mind and troubled career of composer Sergei Prokofiev. Its prizewinning Canadian director, Yosif Feyginberg, will introduce the film and lead a discussion after the screening.
The complete English version, entitled “Prokofiev: The Unfinished Diary”, represented Canada successfully at a recent Moscow festival, and has already won several international awards for outstanding films on the arts. It includes footage not previously seen here from the recent Princeton University production of Prokofiev’s 1925-27 ballet “Stal’noy Skok/Pas d’acier/Leap of Steel”, as reconstructed by Canadian musicologist Prof. Simon Morrison, who also figures prominently in the new documentary.
Mr. Feyginberg will explain the lengthy research process on which the film was based, and shed new light on the technical, financial, and personal issues that were encountered during its production. He looks forward to fielding audience questions raised by this stimulating film. Time permitting, additional scenes from the ballet’s revival may also be shown.
