Rote-Armee-Wald und weiße Flügel am Kliff. Ein Spaziergang durch russische Erinnerungslandschaften in Israel

This article provides insight into Israeli memoryscapes produced by, or connected to, (post-) Soviet immigrants, focussing on three aspects: The popular new performative initiative Immortal Regiment, which is spreading internationally, new commemorative spaces in the urban landscape, and the planned Museum of the Jewish Soldier in World War II. With a special reference to the city of Beer Sheva, the author outlines the changing position of Russian places and practices within Israeli cities and society, from a marginal position towards acceptance into a national narrative.
