Katyn- the Soviet massacre of over 21,000 Polish prisoners
in 1940 - has come to be remembered as Stalin's
emblematic mass murder, an event obscured by one of the most
extensive cover-ups in history. Yet paradoxically, a majority of
its victims perished far from the forest in western Russia that
gives the tragedy its name. Their remains lie buried in killing
fields throughout Russia, Ukraine and, most likely, Belarus. Today
their ghosts haunt the cultural landscape of Eastern Europe.
This book traces the legacy of Katyn through the interconnected
memory cultures of seven countries: Belarus, Poland, Russia,
Ukraine, and the Baltic States. It explores the meaning of Katyn as
site and symbol, event and idea, fact and crypt. It shows how Katyn
both incites nationalist sentiments in Eastern Europe and fosters
an emerging cosmopolitan memory of Soviet terror. It also examines
the strange impact of the 2010 plane crash that claimed the lives
of Poland's leaders en route to Katyn.
Drawing on novels and films, debates and controversies, this book
makes the case for a transnational study of cultural memory and
navigates a contested past in a region that will define
Europe's future.
