«Паспортизация» еврейского населения в Западной Белоруссии, 1940-1941 гг.
С. 160–172.
The article analyzes the "passportization" of the local, primarily Jewish, population of the Polish territories annexed to the USSR, particularly in Western Belorussia in 1940-1941. The Author considers this transformation not only as a measure of unification, but also as an important method of migration control, as well as "purification" of the social image of cities in the "new" border zone. In the focus of the article is the Jewish population. Since the majority of the Jews fitted at the same time to several paragraphs of the secret instructions on the issuance of passports "with restriction" (which in fact meant a ban on residence in the border town), they were particularly affected during the implementation of the "passportization".

The Soviet project existed not merely in slogans: it was materialized in metal, plastic, paper,sound, and rituals. This collection demonstrates how material objects and infrastructuresserved as mediators between the state, society, and everyday life—ranging from theelectrification drive and the dream of a unified power grid to the humble ballot and ballotbox, from “Muzprom” to a children’s toy, from a homemade board game to a vodka label.
What were the roles, networks, and practices of production, consumption, and exchangethrough which the material system of the USSR was created and reproduced?
The historians, anthropologists, and art historians whose contributions make up this volumeinvite us to see material things as full‑fledged participants in political, aesthetic, and socialprocesses. These processes explain why certain technologies became symbols of thefuture, others reinforced civic rituals, and still others have returned today to museums, fleamarkets, and television shows. ...
