■"Book Talk" organaized by the Harriman Institute at Columbia University and the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center◆◇◆
Please join the Harriman Institute at Columbia University and the Slavic-Eurasian Research Center at Hokkaido University, Japan, for a discussion with David Wolff, coeditor of Sugihara Chiune and the Soviet Union: New Documents, New Perspectives. Moderated by Valentina Izmirlieva, Director of the Harriman Institute.
In 1940 with Europe already at war, Japanese diplomat-spy Sugihara Chiune (often called the “Japanese Schindler”) ignored direct orders from Foreign Minister Matsuoka and issued over 2000 Japanese transit visas to Jews stranded in Lithuania after the invasion of Poland. But these visas would have been worthless without Soviet transit visas to cross from Kaunas/Kovno to Vladivostok. Why did Stalin approve this transit, supervised by Molotov, Mikoyan and Beria? How did nearly 4000 Jews travel on 2000 visas? Documents from Soviet and Japanese archives collected, edited and published by Japan’s Slavic-Eurasian Research Center and the Holocaust Research Center in Moscow provide answers to these questions and more. Sugihara remains the only Japanese citizen designated a Righteous among the Gentiles by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.
Date & Time：September 14, 2022 1:00 am - 2:30 am(JST)

Title："Стратегии выживания в автобиографическом нарративе о жизни в СССР (рассказы Масао Миура (1946-2002), воспоминания японских военнопленных o жизни в советских лагерях (1945-1956), устные истории о депортации калмыков (1943-1957))"

Venue: Hybrid style (In person + Online via Zoom meeting) - Slavic-Eurasian Research Center at Hokkaido University, Meeting Room 403 - To participate online, please contact the following email address by October 24
Language: Russian
Abstract:Выступление будет основано на материалах травматической памяти о жизни в СССР с середины и во второй половине ХХ в. На основании автобиографических рассказов Масао Миура, рисунков бывших военнопленных Квантунской армии, устных рассказов о депортации в Сибирь калмыков будет обсуждены вопросы стратегий выживания на индивидуальном и групповом уровне. Докладчик показывает, что любой автобиографический нарратив о жизни в тоталитарную эпоху - это имплицитный нарратив о стратегиях выживания. Как вырабатывались эти стратегии и в чем состояли, в чем они были универсальными, а в чем индивидуальными - этому будет посвящен доклад.

Title："East-West Knowledge Transfer in Settler Societies: How the U.S. Great Plains Became the “American Steppes”."
Venue：Hybrid (Room 403 at SRC with Zoom)
Online Registration：here
Language：English
Abstract：Between the 1870s and 1930s, Euro-American settlers supported by the U.S. government transformed the Great Plains from the domain of Native Americans who lived mostly, but not solely, from hunting animals to vast fields of grain. In displacing the Indigenous peoples and their ways of life, the American settlers and government drew on the prior experience of the Russian and Soviet states in the similar environment of the Eurasian steppes. Since the eighteenth century, Slavic settlers and migrants from central Europe largely displaced the Indigenous nomadic pastoralists and converted their pastures to fields of grain. Knowledge of crop varieties, agricultural sciences, and farming and forestry techniques were all transferred from the Eurasian steppes to North America. This lecture explores how and why this happened.
