Mertelsmann, Olaf (Hrsg.); The Baltic States under Stalinist Rule. Mit Namens- u. Ortsregister, Köln, Böhlau 2016, 257 S., brosch., neuwertig! In englischer Sprache! (Das Baltikum in Geschichte und Gegenwart, Band 4) – In the history of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania the period of Stalinist rule marked the time of loss of independence, Sovietization and enormous political, social and cultural change. Large segments of the population fell victim to repression or forced deportation. Some Balts fought in a partisan war against the Soviets, other fled in 1944. – Until today, those events are present in Baltic societies. The volume assembled thirteen historians from eight countries discussing in their contributions different aspects of Stalinist rule in the annexed Baltic states. The authors make extensive use of recently opened archives. – The volume contents: Olaf Mertelsmann: Stalinism and the Valtic States: A very Brief Introduction. Björn M. Felder: Stalinist National Bolshevism, Enemy Nations and Terror: Soviet Occupation of the Baltic States 1940-41.
