Politics of memory: media and Ukrainians displaced during World War Two
Політика пам'яті: медіа та українці, переміщені в час Другої світової
війни
Professor Dyczok discusses how the mass media forms "historical memory"
on behalf of ruling elites. In the Soviet Union (and Russia), the WW2
"official" history was/is at odds with the 3 million Ukrainian refugees
in Europe, most of whom were repatriated "na rodinu" and only 200,000
managed to avoid forcible repatriation and eventually emigrated to
Western countries. The "official" view was/is that WW2 started on
22Jun1941. They ignore the historical fact that Hitler and Stalin
collaborated to start the war on 01Sep1939 -- with Hitler occupying
Poland and Stalin occupying Western Ukraine and the Baltic states.
