Everyday Life in Occupied Russia

Summary

This study provides a fascinating and nuanced account of the twenty-six-month Nazi occupation of Smolensk, a Russian town. By drawing on oral-history interviews and a broad range of archival sources, it sheds new light on the everyday civilian life of Soviets, Jews, and Roma. Examining a variety of local propagandistic efforts by the Nazi and Stalinist regimes as well as the agency of Russian civilians, 'Smolensk under the Nazis' also complements recent works on everyday life in occupied Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic States
