First sentence: The wartime culture of Russia has until recently been little studied for several reasons: the Soviet historiographical enmity towards most of those engaged in it; the near exclusion from literary and art history of things that smell of propaganda or popular culture; and - most important - the absence of a real historical memory of that war in Russia, a memory that was buried beneath the remembrance of the revolutions of 1917 and the civil war that followed.
