Der Krieg Russlands gegen die Ukraine betrifft insbesondere ukrainische Frauen schwer. Zahlreiche Frauen haben ihr Leben verloren, mehrere sind Opfer von Gewalt geworden und viele mussten zusammen mit ihren Kindern und Eltern aus der Ukraine in die Nachbarländer und nach Deutschland fliehen. Doch ukrainische Frauen sind nicht nur Kriegsopfer. Ein V...

Though persistently overshadowed by the Great War in historical memory, the two Balkan conflicts of 1912–1913 were among the most consequential of the early twentieth century. By pitting the states of Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, and Montenegro against a diminished Ottoman Empire—and subsequently against one another–they anticipated many of the horror...

This book explores the historial role of the Balkan Wars. In Eastern Europe, the two Balkan Wars of 1912/13 had greater importance than the First World War for the construction of nations and states. This volume shows how these “short” wars profoundly changed the sociopolitical situation in the Balkans, with consequences that are still felt today....

The Balkan Wars and the territorial changes that ensued spurred the rebirth of Pan-Slavic activities in Russia. Scrutinizing the entanglements among Russian foreign policy, diplomacy, and public opinion, this chapter describes how officials and civilians—far away from the battlefields—became agitated in 1912–13, and how Pan-Slavism as a political d...

The years 2012–13 marked the centennial of the Balkan Wars, which preceded the First World War and reshaped the map of Southeastern Europe. The states existing today in the area can hardly offer a satisfactory framework for exploring the history of the two Balkan Wars, which exerted a more profound impact on the region than even the Great War. And...

Katrin Boeckh studies the effects of Ukraine’s Euromaidan and Russian military intervention in Ukraine on the religious communities of Ukraine and their ecumenical relations. The uprising against a president who reneged on his promise to sign an agreement with the EU drew support from virtually all religious groups. As the conflict ensued, severe o...

Yugoslavia’s political development after the Second World War was largely shaped by Josip Broz Tito, the founder of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), her Prime Minister (1943–1963) and President (1953–1980) as well as General Secretary of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia (CPY) from 1939 to 1980.1 The long period of his dictatori...

Die Ukraine, das Land mit der größten Fläche in Europa nach der Russischen Föderation, ist ein multiethnischer Staat. Ihre Bevölkerung – 48,5 Millionen Menschen – setzt sich der Volkszählung von 2001 zufolge aus etwa 78 % Ukrainern zusammen, 17 % Russen, 0,6 % Weißrussen, und jeweils 0,5 % Moldauern und Krim-Tataren. Entsprechend der nationalen Zus...

Do empires affect attitudes towards the state long after their demise? We hypothesize that the Habsburg Empire with its localized and well-respected administration increased citizens’ trust in local public services. In several Eastern European countries, communities on both sides of the long-gone Habsburg border have been sharing common formal inst...

Do Empires affect human values and behavior long after their demise? In several Eastern European countries, communities on both sides of the long-gone border of the Habsburg Empire have been sharing common formal institutions for 90 years now. We exploit this geographic discontinuity in a regression-discontinuity design with country fixed effects u...

Viele Teile Europas wurden über Jahrhunderte hinweg von Großreichen beherrscht.

Becker, University of Warwick, Katrin Boeckh, Osteuropa-Institut Regensburg, Christa Hainz und Ludger Wößmann untersuc...

Religious Jews in the Soviet Union were doubly persecuted: first, because of the anti-Semitic attitudes of the Soviet population and regime, second, because of their faith which the atheist ideology did not tolerate. After World War II, the Stalinist System began to agitate openly against Jews again in several campaigns. Whereas these events have o...

Autorica istražuje u članku vjerske progone u Jugoslaviji koji su se događali u razdoblju od komunističkog preuzimanja vlasti krajem Drugoga svjetskog rata do 1953. godine. Pokazuje kako je u tom vremenu primjenjivan sovjetski model progona svećenstva. Usporednom metodom ističe sličnosti sa staljinističkim obrascem vladavine, ali i modifikacije u o...
