<\/a>My collection of abstracts published in 2015.\u00a0 One of the first books printed at my Institute after the fire.\u00a0 Initially we were going to show the current situation in historiography, but so many publications have appeared in recent years that we had to limit our work to a relatively small set of the most interesting books standing out for their subjects or research methods. As a result, most of materials in the collection are based on works of Western historians who still much more often use various methodological innovations than their Russian colleagues. Yet there are also abstracts of several Russian books that deal with some insufficiently explored aspects of the history of the Soviet Union in the Second World War. We used almost no works on history of military operations or of the Red Army as, in spite of their importance, they are not so interesting from the viewpoint of methodology. Instead, we devoted special attention to publications that deal with \u2018non-military\u2019 subjects and investigate a human dimension of the Second World War, its long-term consequences and historical context.<\/p>\n
