Каменная ночь by Catherine Merridale
Death and Memory in Twentieth-Century Russia
An exploration of how death and remembrance shaped Russian life across the twentieth century, following the aftermath of revolution, civil war, famine, Stalinist terror, world war, and the Gulag. Drawing on archives, fieldwork, and personal testimonies, it traces private mourning and public rituals, the politics of cemeteries and monuments, and the tension between personal grief and state narratives. The account shows how trauma was managed, suppressed, and reimagined over generations, and how memory practices evolved in the late Soviet and post-Soviet eras.
