Summary

Peter Englund: Dreams of a Ferocious Night

Peter Englund follows his dramatis personae (a Red Army soldier, a Jewish refugee, a university professor in besieged Leningrad, an Italian major, a Japanese sea captain, a French writer, an English housewife, a German officer, a Russian poet, etc.) relying on their diaries, correspondence and archival materials of various provenances. In this way, by intertwining their war experiences, he builds a "parallel dimension", on which all war brutality, heroism, sacrifice, ideological blindness, betrayal and hope for victory took place. Englund's approach opens up a space that has often eluded historians who have dealt or are dealing with the research of this largest war conflict in history, with its unfathomable potential in the destruction of human lives and material goods. It is giving a human face and a name to those who escaped attention as "unimportant actors", "nameless victims", but also to those who were "just following orders", thus Englund restores hope in what is often lost sight of in practice. with "great history" - that it is always about people who, it should be said again, are willing and unwilling participants in history, becoming its victims, but also its executioners.
