Jüdische Geschichte digital im russischsprachigen Raum: Am Beispiel des Holocaust

This study will analyze the ambivalent debates surrounding Jewish history and primarily the Holocaust in the Russian-speaking Internet (Runet) in the wider context of domestic and foreign-policy developments and anti-Semitism in the former Soviet Union after 1991. It will focus on the online portals, aimed at Russian-speaking Internet users, of Russian and foreign educational and research institutions as well as museums. The contribution of Jews to the development of the Runet and the problem of Holocaust denial in the Russian-speaking Internet will be discussed.
