В условиях изменения состава общедоступных программных средств разработана функциональная программа навигации по картам Великой Отечественной войны, а также довоенным и послевоенным картам на основе библиотеки Leaflet. С целью восполнения неучтенных данных в карте боевого пути дивизий в системе «Память народа» предложено использовать данные из донесениий. Методика выявления данных о гибели воинов, считающихся пропавшими без вести, основывается на временном, пространственном и атрибутивном сопоставлении данных из различных архивных документов с использованием баз данных систем «Мемориал» и «Память народа», адаптированных в ГИС военных и современных карт. In the context of changing the composition of publicly available software, a functional program for navigating the maps of the Great Fatherland War, as well as pre-war and post-war maps based on the Leaflet library, was worked out. In order to make up for unaccounted data in the combat path map of divisions in the Memory of the People system, it was proposed to use data from reports. The methodology for identifying data on the death of warriors considered missing is based on the temporal, spatial and attributive comparison of data from various archival documents using the databases of the Memorial and Memory of the People systems adapted in the GIS of military and modern maps.

The article examines the mood of home front workers during the Great Patriotic War based on the materials of Vladimir region, a region that had its own specific features. The author draws attention to the change in the rear position of this territorial unit during the war. The sources for the analysis were archival documents, some of which are introduced into scientific circulation for the first time, as well as documents of a memoir and epistolary nature. The study of Soviet propaganda during the indicated period draws attention to the transition from predominantly internationalist to patriotic slogans - a process that started at the very beginning of the war, with some precedents already in the last pre-war year. In the course of the study, the author identifies the ambiguous sentiments of the population in the rear in relation to the war and their living conditions. Attention is drawn to the fact that citizens had a negative perception of a number of actions of the authorities in the initial period of the war. The article tells the difficult situation in the rear during the battle for Moscow, a victory which to a large extent caused a turn in the mood of the majority of the population. An analysis of the letters of front-line soldiers and home front workers clearly reveals the fatalism of most of them, and their submissive adherence to their prescribed fate. At the same time, their letters show the hope for a quick victory over Nazism and the belief that their closest descendants would be able to build a bright future. Despite the predominantly patriotic statements, the example of the Vladimir region shows a critical attitude towards the Soviet government, not only on regional but also on central level. Still, one cannot but confirm that Soviet propaganda was very successful in consolidating the people during the war, which was of course facilitated by the policy of Nazi Germany both at the front and in the temporarily occupied territories.

The topic of interaction between artists and the armed forces of the USSR before the Great Patriotic War and after it is a subject of study for historians, cultural scientists, philologists, theater critics, film critics, art historians. Nevertheless, the visual art of Sverdlovsk in the aspect of analysis and description of cultural and patronage relations of artists with the Red Army has never been the object of special study. The proposed article is, in fact, one of the first, if not the only scientific work to date, based on the introduction to the practice of domestic art studies, the history of Soviet art, information and data on the emergence and development of contacts between artists of Sverdlovsk and military personnel in the framework of patronage of the creative intelligentsia of the Red Army in 1946–1952. The period of the 1920–1930s is considered also on the basis of archival documents, making outlines of the more accurate data on patronage ties between RABIS, the Organizing Committee of the Union of Artists Sverdlovsk branch and the Soviet military personnel in the Ural military district.

На основе изучения объектов военно-исторического наследия, архивных материалов, прессы анализируется эволюция исторической памяти о Второй мировой войне в советском Калининграде. Цель исследования – выявление содержания и региональной специфики военно-мемориального наследия советского времени. Прослежена трансформация облика мемориалов в память о героях и жертвах Великой Отечественной войны, рассмотрены нереализованные проекты и дискуссии о символическом содержании памятников, выявлены региональные особенности мемориализации событий военного времени. В рамках историко-культурологического подхода использовались сравнительный и типологический методы. Автор приходит к выводу, что военно-мемориальный ландшафт Калининграда формировался в русле общенационального исторического нарратива, но для культурно-исторической самоидентификации прибывших сюда переселенцев памятники воинской славы имели гораздо большее значение, чем в любом другом регионе страны. War memorials are important for preserving the historical memory of the people’s feat during the Great Patriotic War. The territory of Kaliningrad Oblast (formerly East Prussia) was a zone of bloody battles in 1945. Currently, there are 44 memorials to Soviet heroes and victims of the war in Kaliningrad; they have not been studied systematically. The article aims to trace the history of the creation of the war memorial heritage of the Soviet era in Kaliningrad and to identify its content and regional specifics. The research is based on published and archival documents of the State Archive of Kaliningrad Oblast: decisions of the authorities, materials of public organizations, local newspapers. In the framework of the general historical and cultural approach, comparative and typological research methods were used in the research. The author characterizes the first monuments to the fallen Soviet soldiers that appeared immediately after the war, including the memorial ensemble dedicated to 1,200 soldiers of the 11th Guards Army who died during the storming of the city; considers issues related to the legal status of monuments in the post-war period; studies the changes in the politics of memory in the 1960s and its manifestations at the regional level (construction of new monuments, museification of memorial sites). He analyzes public discussions of the 1960s around the construction of the main war monument in Kaliningrad and describes its proposed projects. The author describes the initiative of a number of Soviet commanders to build a memorial panorama museum in Kaliningrad and reveals the reason for its failure. He studies the increase in the number of war memorials in the region in the 1970s and 1980s and notes that it coincides with the anniversary dates of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. He analyzes public initiatives to install monuments in the years of Perestroika and during the formation of the new Russian statehood (late 20th – early 21st centuries); gives the periodization of the formation of the Kaliningrad memorial landscape; reveals the regional features of the memorialization of the wartime events. The author concludes that today the Soviet war memorials in Kaliningrad are an instrument of patriotic education based on the military traditions of the older generations. They contribute to the cultural and historical self-identification of the inhabitants of the only Russian exclave and are an important component of the identity of Kaliningraders.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the Alien / Another / Different images in the cultural space of the Tatar ASSR in the 1930s - 1970s. Based on the archival documents, oral history materials and the example of the multinational region, the author considered intercultural communication and the problems of perception of another / different culture. Much attention is paid to the study of the socio-cultural space of Tatarstan villages. The analyzed material made it possible to find out how the inhabitants of the village and the city perceived the image of the Alien who was once believed to be an Alien in the rural world. The study also revealed how the perception of the Alien had been transformed during the pre-war, military and post-war periods as well as whether there is a difference in the perception of the Alien on the part of locals and newcomers. As a result of the research, the images of the Alien were created through the characteristics of alimentary qualities through clothing and appearance, as well as behavioral aspects. The author came to conclusion that the image of the Alien was more often formed as general knowledge about the social, spiritual and material culture of representatives of various people living nearby. In intercultural communication, which often took a form of a dialogue, the formula was “ours – another”, not “ours - alien’s”. According to the author, the experience of long-term residence of the people, inhabiting the Tatar ASSR, had a positive impact on the dialogue and interpenetration of cultures.

The organization and maintenance of the industrial production process is a complex management task. During the period of hostilities this task must be solved within the framework of many additional restrictions – mainly due to the conflict of interests rather than due to the forceful influence of the enemy. The organization of production in the frontline zone is a task that requires constant extraordinary efforts from the participants and, often, self-sacrifice. Leningrad, one of the largest industrial centers in the country, found itself in frontline conditions already in September 1941. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War colossal human and material resources were concentrated in the city – according to post-war estimates, "the industry of Leningrad in 1940 gave over 10 % of all industrial production of the USSR" [1, p. 147]. The increase in the volume of military production was carried out in accordance with changes in the international situation. The peak was reached in the summer of 1941, but during the second half of the year production dropped to virtually zero. Particularly important and technologically complex processes were withdrawn from the city until the end of October 1941, most of the plants and factories remaining inside the blockade ring stopped due to the lack of fuel and electricity in December 1941 - early January 1942. During the period of “time of death”, when there were not enough resources even for the full provision of food production, the production of only one type of industrial product continued, albeit in many respects nominally, – ammunition. And it is precisely on the production of ammunition that attention should be focused at analyzing the work of the Leningrad heavy industry in wartime. However, without understanding the peculiarities of the balance of forces in the pre-war period, it will be impossible to understand and evaluate the scale of the organizational and physical work which had been carried out by the leaders and workers of the city directly during the war. The article provides information about all factories and organizations of the People's Commissariat of Ammunition (NKB) of the USSR that operated in Leningrad and the surrounding suburbs in 1941, both before and after the start of the Great Patriotic War: location, number of personnel, setting data on directors, products characteristics, work features, evacuation sites. Information about the factories of civilian commissariats engaged in the production of ammunition in the pre-war and war periods is given in a limited extent.

Prokofiev, D. Shostakovich, A. Alexandrov, V. Soloviev-Sedoy, and others, was implemented in operas, symphonies, cantatas and songs, which by their nature emotional expression differed Patriotic and epic strength.

Biographic information about the veteran of geodetic service of the Soviet Union Tamara Aleksandrovna Prokofieva is provided in this article. On January 1, 2017, she turned 96 years old. T. A. Prokofieva’s biography is in many respects similar to destinies of her age-mates who met the Great Patriotic War on a student’s bench. In 1939 she entered the Moscow Institute of Geodesy, Aerial Photography, and Cartography. Since then all her life was connected with geodesy. In this article we use Tamara Aleksandrovna’s memories of a communal flat of the 1930s, peripetias of military years, of the North Caucasian and Kazakh aero geodetic enterprises where she worked with her husband Leonid Andreevich Kashin who held a number of executive positions in geodetic service of the USSR in the post-war time.

Missing In Action

There was a discrepancy found between the practice of identification of the soldiers who went missing in action during the Great Patriotic War and also the reburied ones and the possibilities of automated processing of the war and post-war archive documents using modern information technology. Using the practical application of the mix of technologies of the databases, geographic information systems and the Internet as an example there is a possibility demonstrated to establish the destiny of a soldier who was considered missing in action. As far as the GIS technologies are concerned the methods of forming the atlas of rastre electronic maps and vector maps with the data from the archive sources have been the most significant. The atlas of raster electronic maps of the Great Patriotic War period for the Kalinin Battle Front and the 30th army which was formed in the process of research has been registered in Rospatent in the form of database. The functionality of the research was provided by applying various programming means

Human Losses

This paper considers one of the urgent problems of the great Patriotic war history - the irrevocable human losses during the great Patriotic war. In the 21st century mass sources (electronic databases and databanks) were distributed. Some of them can be used while studying how local people of the Kuibyshev (now - Samara) Region participated in the military operations in 1941-1945. The paper analyzes information opportunities of the generalized databank Memorial and the consolidated database of the all-Russian information and search center Fatherland. The paper also analyzes the electronic database of the irrevocable human losses of the Kuibyshev Region that is founded on The Memory book and made by the author of the paper. The databank Memorial and the database Fatherland are on the Internet and help to determine the fate or find the information about the dead or missing relatives and friends as well as to determine their burial place. Sections of the victims are accompanied by links as well as by digital copies of archival documents that confirm the information about the date, place of service, death and burial of soldier. Electronic resources have unique features and value for achieving the historical truth about the price of Victory.
