| Title | Sites of Memory, Heritage Sites: The First World War in Kaliningrad Region of Russia |
| Summary | This thesis examines the cultural heritage and historical memory of the First World War in the Kaliningrad Region of Russia. This war is often referred to as the ‘forgotten war’ in Russian historiography, yet Kaliningrad is where the fighting occurred and still holds evidence of the war. Until 1945, Kaliningrad was German Königsberg. After the Second World War, it became a site for the formation of a new Soviet memory. Despite Soviet efforts to suppress the First World War memory, Kaliningrad has retained tangible remains that create a complex and largely neglected memorial environment. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, including a survey of the population and interviews with experts, this research explores public awareness and attitudes towards these sites. |
