Project No.: lzp-2020/2-0212
Implementation period: 1 December 2020 – 31 December 2021
Project costs: EUR 100 389
Principal investigator: Dr. hist. Uldis Neiburgs
The main goal of the project “Rethinking Statelessness: Resistance and Collaboration during the Second World War in Latvia” is to research and reinterpret resistance and collaboration with two totalitarian powers in occupied Latvia. The growth of the knowledge base in Latvia will be promoted by disseminating the project results in both the academic and social environment: one scientific monograph, one SCI article, one other peer-reviewed research article and elaboration of one PhD theses. If historians and sociologists have so far studied only separate theoretical, practical and comparative aspects of the resistance and collaboration, then this project both practices as conceptually interlinked, but morally distinctive expression of agency during the Soviet and Nazi occupation in Latvia. The results of this research project will provide the local and foreign academic as well as general public with a well-argued and re-conceptualized vision of the Second World War history in Latvia.
