Publikation Dissertationsschrift:Dissident Histories in the Soviet Union: From De-Stalinization to Perestroika. (Bloomsbury Academic, London, 2019).
How can we explain the emergence of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago and other dissident histories revealing the Soviet regime’s past crimes? What methods of research did their authors rely on, without access to archives? And how was their work influenced by their complex and shifting relationships with the state?
To answer these questions, Barbara Martin tracks the careers of four important dissident historians and writers: Roy Medvedev, Aleksandr Nekrich, Anton Antonov-Ovseenko and Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Based on extensive archival research and interviews (with some of the authors themselves, as well as those close to them), the result is a nuanced and very necessary history of Soviet dissident history writing, from the relative liberalisation of de-Stalinization through increasing repression and persecution in the Brezhnev era to official publication during perestroika. In the process Martin sheds light onto late Soviet society and its relationship with the state. This is important reading for all scholars working on late Soviet history and society.
