Soviet Women in World War II

Seminar
Event Format
Online

The Soviet Union was the site of ferocious fighting during World War II. The brutal German occupation forced women to make extraordinary choices that seem unimaginable to us today. What were the conditions that informed their choices and how do historians interpret their experiences? 

Please join us for an evening of conversation with Dr. Alexis Peri and Dr. Regina Kazyulina, two scholars who specialize in this research. 

An open-source repository for educators on this topic is available here >
