This figure stood outside of the Soviet political, legal and aesthetic language. Representing Lenin in external signs (linguistic, visuals, material) was challenging. To be successful, visual representations of Lenin had to be materially linked to his physical body. How was this material link produced and maintained in practice? What does this link tell us about the nature of the Sacred, the Sovereign, and the Sign in the Soviet and post-Soviet contexts? How does this link allow Lenin\u2019s images to mutate between Soviet and anti-Soviet and between Communist, anti-Communist and Imperialist (which became visible in the aggression of Putin\u2019s Russia against Ukraine)?<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16045 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/10\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/10\/image-5.png 536w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/10\/image-5-236x300.png 236w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2022\/10\/image-5-375x476.png 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Alexei Yurchak <\/strong>is Professor of Anthropology at University of California, Berkeley.

By the early 1920s, in the wake of Pilsudski\u2019s defeat of the Red Army in the1920 Polish-Soviet War, he was regarded as a brilliant military strategist and high-minded statesman. Pi\u0142sudski became the only European statesman after World War I to champion the independence of Ukraine. When the Western democracies expressed their firm opposition, arguing that the very idea of Ukraine constituted \u201cincitement and provocation\u201d against Russia, Pi\u0142sudski replied that \u201cwithout an independent Ukraine, Poland and Europe will never be secure.\u201d<br \/>\nSince the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Pi\u0142sudski\u2019s advocacy for Ukrainian independence 103 years ago has renewed significance. This talk will discuss Pi\u0142sudski\u2019s aims and vision for such a Ukrainian state, as well as other features of his rule that make him a standout among European statesmen before 1939.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joshua D.

Senderovich traces protagonists traversing space and history and carrying with them the dislodged practices and archetypes of a Jewish world in the process of transformation. Senderovich urges us to see the Soviet Jew anew, as not only a member of a minority group but also a particular kind of liminal being.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"conference-program\">Conference Program<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/04\/2023-REECAS-NW-Final-Program-04.21.2023.pdf\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The REECAS Northwest Conference Program is now available.<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/04\/2023-REECAS-NW-Final-Program-04.21.2023.pdf\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-16410\" src=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/04\/2023-REECAS-Northwest-Program-Cover.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/04\/2023-REECAS-Northwest-Program-Cover.png 607w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/04\/2023-REECAS-Northwest-Program-Cover-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/04\/2023-REECAS-Northwest-Program-Cover-375x489.png 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Physical copies of the Conference Program will be available for pre-registered conference attendees at the event.<\/p>\n<h3><a class=\"uw-btn btn-purple\" href=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/ellisoncenter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/04\/2023-REECAS-NW-Final-Program-04.21.2023.pdf\">VIEW PROGRAM<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2 id=\"Conference-Hotel\">Conference Hotel<\/h2>\n<p><i><b>Participants will be required to make their own hotel reservations (including payment).\u00a0<\/b><\/i>The Ellison Center has secured a block of rooms at a discounted rate of $159 per night (shared double queen) plus taxes in the stylish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.graduatehotels.com\/seattle\/?_ga=2.251140864.721432137.1541467575-756938258.1541467575\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Graduate Seattle Hotel<\/strong><\/a>, located just steps from the University of Washington in the University District. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>(Please scroll down to find discounted reservation link.)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>We STRONGLY recommend you make your reservations soon as availability is limited.
