Description

The Unfound Peace is the first study dealing with disabled ex-servicemen of tsarist Russia in all regards—socioeconomic status, healthcare, social reintegration to families and communities, self-representation—and the only one comparing WWI and Russian civil war veterans. Alexandre Sumpf considers the ways Great War disabled veterans tried to live under the Bolsheviks and compares their experience with that of the Red Army veterans who received special considerations from the new regime. Offering a history of the body and health in relation to work, The Unfound Peace also compares the situation of disabled veterans with that of disabled workers who were subject to the same demands of extreme productivity but benefited from better social protection, though they dealt with accusations that they were faking their disabilities. This study of disabled veterans, with transnational comparisons, offers the possibility of re-reading the history of the first generation of Soviets through the collective and private memory of war, in the USSR and in exile.

Author Biography:

Alexandre Sumpf is Assistant Professor at Strasbourg University (France) and Head of the Institute for the Contemporary History. His scholarship includes studies about wars in Russia/USSR, health history, disability studies and propaganda.
