<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nI am a historian of Russia and the Soviet Union. Over the course of my career, I have become increasingly interested in the USSR’s involvement in transnational movements and processes, whether political, social, cultural, or economic. I have also pursued research interests in the history of Communism and world history. In addition to the books mentioned below, I’ve published articles on a number of topics in Soviet social and political history.<\/p>\n
My first book,\u00a0Power and the Sacred in Revolutionary Russia: Religious Activists in the Village\u00a0<\/em>(Pennsylvania State University Press, 1997), examined the Bolshevik project of cultural transformation through a case study of peasants’ responses to the Soviet anti-religious campaign. In 1999, the book was awarded Honorable Mention for the Hans Rosenhaupt Memorial Book Prize from the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.<\/p>\nIn 2011, I published\u00a0The Communist Experience in the Twentieth Century: A Global History through Sources<\/em>\u00a0(Oxford University Press. Through a collection of carefully selected documents, some presented for the first time in English translation, the book seeks to provide an inside look at how people around the world subjectively experienced, and contributed to, global communism.<\/p>\nMy current book project is entitled\u00a0The Return: From the Soviet Union to Franco\u2019s Spain in the Cold War,\u00a0<\/em>under contract with Oxford University Press, England.<\/p>\nThe Return\u00a0<\/em>reveals the unrecognized political, social, and cultural shockwaves of the Cold War repatriation of Spanish nationals who had been catapulted to the USSR as refugees and exiles in the Spanish Civil War, or as soldiers who fought for the Nazi Wehrmacht in World War II.\u00a0\u00a0 What makes the Spanish case distinct with respect to numerous others involving post-World War II repatriations from the USSR is that it involved civilians\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0military personnel, including prisoners of war.\u00a0 As well, the repatriation of Spanish nationals constituted the largest repatriation of civilians from the USSR to a country in Western Europe during the Cold War.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Although the repatriation of Spaniards\u2014both Red Army POWs and civilians\u2014began\u00a0during\u00a0<\/em>World War II, albeit in small numbers, the return of the Spaniards became an international issue beginning in the late 1940s, just as the Cold War was heating up.\u00a0 \u00a0 The book focuses on the seven expeditions of repatriates from the USSR to Franco’s Spain in the second half of the 1950s.<\/p>\n<\/a>Scott Montgomery –\u00a0EU Economic and Energy Responses to Russia\u2019s Invasion of Ukraine![\"Scott](\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/euwesteurope\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2021\/07\/scott-montgomery-200x250.jpg\")
