Publisher Description: This double special issue investigates the experiences of Soviet Afghan veterans and the ongoing impact of the Soviet-Afghan war (1979-89); and the new and reconstituted narratives of martyrdom that have been emerging in connection with 20th-century history and memory in the post-socialist world. The Journal of Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society (JSPPS) is a new bi-annual companion journal to the Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society (SPPS) book series, founded in 2004 and edited by Andreas Umland. The guest editors of this issue are Felix Ackermann (European Humanities University), Michael Galbas (Konstanz University), and Uilleam Blacker (UCL). |
