Svetlana Alexievich

49books5,675followers
Svetlana Alexievich was born in Ivano Frankivsk, Ukraine. Her father was Belarusian and her mother Ukrainian. Alexievich grew up in Belarus, where both her parents were teachers. She studied to be a journalist at the University of Minsk and worked a teacher, journalist and editor. In Minsk she has worked at the newspaper Sel'skaja Gazeta, Alexievich's criticism of the political regimes in the Soviet Union and thereafter Belarus has periodically forced her to live abroad, for example in Italy, France, Germany and Sweden.

Svetlana Alexievich depicts life during and after the Soviet Union through the experience of individuals. In her books she uses interviews to create a collage of a wide range of voices. With her "documentary novels", Svetlana Alexievich, who is a journalist, moves in the boundary between reporting and fiction. Her major works are her grand cycle Voices of Utopia, which consists of five parts. Svetlana Alexievich's books criticize political regimes in both the Soviet Union and later Belarus.

In 2015 Ms Alexievich was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.

We usually think of wars as something that men do. Boys play with toy soldiers and toy guns, and play with real things when they get older, right? But women have been fighting in wars throughout history. We just don't know their stories. We know the stories of men. The women remain in the background, mostly silent, occasionally telling the stories of the war from the accepted 鈥渕anly鈥� perspective. Until now.
"Everything that we know about the war we were told by men. We are the prisoners of "manly" impressions and "manly" experiences of war. "Manly" words. Women always remain silent, and if they suddenly begin to speak they tell not about their war but the war of others. Adjust to the language that is not theirs. Adjust to the unbreakable canon of men[...]

We think we know everything about the war. But listening to these women - from villages and cities, simple and educated, those who saved the wounded and those who wounded the others - I can attest that this is not true. A big misconception. There is another war, unfamiliar to us. I want to write the story of that war. The story of women's war...
"
Svetlana Alexievich, the journalist who brought us the books of witness accounts of Chernobyl nuclear explosion and stories of children who lived through the World War II brings us the true accounts of women who fought in the Great Patriotic War between the Soviet Union and the Nazi Germany. This is a sad and often terrifying account of the war that was also fought by women in the midst of men, in the world that was not prepared for women soldiers. And, as though in defiance of the common dismissal of women's "feelings" and "lack of objectivity" this book focuses exactly on that - the feelings and colors and smells and all the other (often dismissed as trite) things that create the fabric of our experience of the world instead of battles and strategic planning. It brings the "women's war" to the long-overdue forefront.
"At the age of nineteen I had a medal "For courage". At the age of nineteeen, my hair turned grey. At the age of nineteen in my last battle I was shot through both lungs, the bullet went in between two vertebrae. My legs were paralysed... They thought I was dead... At the age of nineteen... My granddaughter is this age now. I look at her in disbelief. Such a child!"
What I found unbelievably sad was the reluctance of many of these women to talk about what happened. While their fathers and husbands and brothers were proud of their veteran status, flaunting medals and stories about battles, most of these women preferred to stay in the background, acting like good wives and mothers, avoiding painful memories of having lived the "unwomanly" lives for the war years. Unwomanly lives. That's the perception. That's often the stigma they had to face.
"We're walking... About 200 girls, and behind us 200 men. It's hot. The summer is hot. And we have to walk 30 kilometers. Thirty! The heat is terrible... And behind us there are red stains on the sand... Red stains... Well, our women's thing, you know... How could we hide that? The soldiers follow us and pretend that they don't see it. They are not looking at the ground..."
The things that men did not have to face when they joined the troops was the lack of basics. Like having to wear size 43 boots when you wore size 35, falling out of shoes and having too-big shoes fill with blood from blisters. Like uniforms not coming with bras. Like having to wear men's underwear that you were falling out of. Like having your menstrual period in the middle of long marches. Like being sexually harassed (not all of course; there seem to have been way more camaraderie and support on the front lines, but the ugliness was still there). Like being pregnant and fighting battles. Like being treated as inferior and incompetent because of your gender. Like having to drown your newborn child so that the baby's cries would not disclose the location of your partisan troop to the surrounding Germans.
"Somebody betrayed us... The Germans learned the location of our partisan troop. They surrounded the forest from all sides. We were hiding in the deep woods, hiding in the swamps where the torturers did not go [...] A radio operator was with us. She gave birth recently. The baby was hungry... Wanting the breast... But the mother is starving, she has no milk, and the baby is crying. The Germans are nearby... With dogs... If the dogs hear the baby, we're all dead. All of us - thirty people... Do you understand? We make a decision... Nobody dares to tell her the commader's order, but the mother guesses it herself. She puts the bundle with the baby into the water and holds it there for a long time... The baby does not cry... Not a sound... And we cannot lift our eyes. We cannot look at the mother or at each other..."
Men, unlike these brave women, did not have to face the scalding social opinion. The thought that the only reason you went to the battlefields was because you were a whore who wanted male attention, who wanted to steal male soldiers from their spouses. The common attitude towards the women who came back from the battlefields as 'ruined', 'sluts', not-quite-women. The desire of men who have fought a war alongside of you and treated you like a comrade to date and marry somebody else, somebody not like you, not tainted by war, somebody girly and flighty and innocent while you were nothing but a painful reminder of things they wanted to forget. The pressure from your husbands to not "mess up" telling the war stories, to tell them to the journalist in the "proper", "manly" way, without all that "girly" stuff that would, of course, shame the manly husbands.
"After my insistent requests [the husband] reluctantly gave up the spotlight with the words [to his wife], "Tell everything the way I taught you. Without tears and girly insignificant stuff: I wanted to be beautiful, I cried when they cut off my hair". Later, she confessed to me, whispering, "All night, he was studying the 'History of the Great Patriotic War' with me. He was worried about me. And he's afraid now that I will remember the wrong thing. That I will tell it not the way I'm supposed to."
This happened many times, in many different homes.
Yes, they cry a lot. They scream. After I leave, they swallow their heart pills. Call the ambulance. But they keep asking me, "Please, come. Definitely come. We've been silent for so long. We were silent for forty years...
"
And yet, despite the horror, despite everything, these young women chose to fight for their country, for their loved ones, for their future. They chose to leave behind their parents, their siblings, their spouses and children ("For the entire last night I was kneeling by the baby's crib...") to fight the war. Making it the women's war. And these are the stories I want to remember for the rest of my life.
"When the war was over, I wished for three things: first - I finally will not have to crawl around on my belly but will ride in a trolleybus, second - to buy and eat an entire loaf of white bread, and third - to sleep in a white bed, on crispy sheets. White sheets..."
These are the chilling stories of women who did what they thought of as their duty despite the pain and humiliations and reluctance and negative judgment, and survived to tell about it. These are the stories that made me tear up quite a few times and put the book down as I stared at the wall trying to wrap my head around the horror I just read. I recommend it to everybody in this world that seems to jump to wars so easily without realizing the enormous cost of it. These are the stories that the Soviet censors were extremely reluctant to send to print.

5 heartbreaking stars.

For the first time, Nobel Prize winning author 's award winning first book is available in English. Over the course of twenty six grueling years, Alexievich interviewed female veterans of World War II. Unlike their American counterparts who played their part in the war effort at home, Soviet women gave up their lives for the Motherland and Stalin and enlisted to fight on the front lines. Yet, rather than returning home as war heroes, the women were oftentimes denounced as unladylike and not marriageable material. For years they kept quiet until Alexievich came with her tape recorder to interview them. This book is the culmination of her work with interviews of hundreds of women who broke the silence and finally became known as war heroes to the world.

Following Stalin's Great Purge of 1937, millions of Soviets were sent to gulags and other forced labor camps. Over the course of his reign as Soviet premier, Stalin was said to have murdered 30 million of his own people. This number could have been even higher due to the silence of many who feared that they too would be labeled as enemies of the state. As a result, when the war against Germany began in 1941, there was a shortage of men to fight. Teenagers as young as fourteen in some cases were enlisted into the army but this still was not enough. Girls who had been members of the Konsomol, the Soviet pioneers much like Girl Scouts, for their entire lives begged their parents to let them go to the front and play their role in defending Mother Russia. In some instances there were no boys in the family, and girls as young as fourteen and fifteen left for the front in situations as dangerous as those faced by their male counterparts. Yet, these girls fought valiantly because they viewed it as an honor to fight for the Motherland and for Stalin and a disgrace to stay home, even if in many cases they were not honored as much as the men.

Major obstacles faced the women fighters. The first is that, especially in the case of squadron leaders and pilots and any other position of authority, men did not take them seriously, at least at first. Even if the girls had to cut off their braids and wear the same khaki colored trousers as men, they were still girls, and sometimes the only girls these men would see for months at a time. Only after demonstrating their worth in the field of battle, were these girls deemed as worthy leaders. Additionally, girls left school to fight. They were to have become doctors, engineers, teachers, and other leading professions, but gave up everything to fight. When the war ended, these girls were either too wounded to work or they got married, many times to men that they met at the front, and started families rather than pursue professions. Some of the veterans were too emotionally scarred by their experiences to work anywhere other than menial labor in factories or typing corps. And many of the veterans were also too emotionally scarred to wear their medals on Victory Day and be lauded for their achievements. Yet, these women fought in the trenches alongside men and do not deserve to keep their experiences silent.

Alexievich was exiled many years in western Europe because much of her writing denounced the Soviet government. Her interviews brought back many painful experiences for the women war veterans, yet Alexievich desired to have this era of history known to the world. Often, her interview subjects broke down in tears. Many left their children with relatives to fight, returned as widows or to severely wounded husbands, became prematurely gray, and were unable to have children. They became desensitized to death yet could not see blood or anything red for years after the war. A few noted that they could not even cook chicken and made their husbands to do so because the bird remembered the human flesh that they wanted so desperately to forget. Many times her subjects asked to remain anonymous because even after forty or more years they did not want to be known as war girls, but as women, women who were loved rather than endured a man's war.

I would be remiss if I did not laud the translation of the award winning team of . I read their translation of earlier this year and found it to be excellent and even fast moving for a book of its size. The team won the PEN Translation Prize for it and also for and should merit another award here. To translate the words of many subjects and stay true to their words and to do so seamlessly should put this duo in consideration for another well deserving merit.

While I have noted in previous reviews that I have a personal challenge to read Pulitzer winners, I also try to read a number of Nobel Prize winners each year as well. These books are either groundbreaking or have told the world a previously unknown important story. has been so lauded for her work here and rightfully so. Telling the story of women war heroes who chose so long to be silent and to be exiled for her efforts makes Alexievich award worthy. I found this to be a tough read as I had to live the horrors of war that these heroes had chosen for so long to forget. The book itself is accessible yet not the easiest of reads as I often read a section and put it down to defuse the tension. Nonetheless, is a necessary book and one that will most likely win awards this year. I am glad that I read it despite the rawness and rate this award winning book 4+ stars.

Svetlana Alexievich also lets the victims or heroes speak here again. The emotional portrayal of many women who went to war for love of "fatherland" is impressive and frightening. Anyone who believes in sympathy with the Soviet soldiers of World War II, the horror of entering the war, and the inability of society to accept the return of women as normal women will not want to leave this book out of their hands.

My specialty... My speciality is men's haircuts...
A girl comes... I don't know how to cut her hair. She has luxuriant wavy hair. The commander enters the dugout. "Give her a man's haircut."
"But she's a woman."
"No, she's a soldier. She'll be a woman again after the war."


In the West we often think of women's role in WWII as being in the factories. The Rosie the Riveter movement of helping make all the supplies for the men out on the front. However, in the Soviet Union, almost one million women enlisted in the army and fought alongside the men. Whilst most were stationed in medical units, thousands of women acted as snipers, pilots, tank drivers, and even captains between 1941 and 1945. The majority of these women were aged between 16 and 21. 40 years after the war had finished, Svetlana Alexievich recorded their stories. This book was the result.

As is Alexievich's style, this book is made up of hundreds of interviews. Judging by the few times that Alexievich herself speaks, this book must be only a minuscule fraction of all the interviews that she conducted in the 1980s. Women's role in the war had effectively been erased from the official history of the war by the post-war Soviet governments so when Alexievich does meet with these women, they are more than ready to talk. And very rarely do they hold back. This is one of the most devastating and harrowing works of non-fiction that I have ever read. What these women saw, what they experienced, was truly horrific.

One common phenomenon that many of the women talk about is how their hair went completely grey by the end of the war. These were women in their early 20s. Others discuss how they could possibly ever give birth after experiencing so much death. One woman talks about how a man could lose every single limb but still find the love of his life, but if a woman received so much as a single scar on her face she would be relegated to spinsterhood forever. There are many instances where women refused to talk to Alexievich, stating that they have spent their lives forgetting the war. However, other women comment that the happiest days of their lives were during the war. Every interview is incredibly personal but each woman is connected by what they went through.

This book is difficult to get through, both content-wise and structure-wise. Every page is another distressing account of the war. Sometimes there may be three short passages to a single page. The sheer amount of content is overwhelming and can sometimes leave you completely drained. Which is probably how you should feel.

The Unwomanly Face of War is a perfect example of why Alexievich won the Nobel Prize for Literature. The sheer amount of research that this must have taken. You feel somewhat sorry for Alexievich in hindsight, she often talks of carrying around her tape recorder and bags of tapes from interviewee to interviewee. Thousands of tapes. And having to transcribe them all. I'm sure the invention of smartphones was something of a godsend to her.

This book is never an easy read but it is an eye-opening account of a somewhat forgotten part of history, as told by the women who lived it. Alexievich has written a book that should be absolute required reading for anyone interested in the Second World War.

鈥淢e dan pena los que leer谩n este libro, y los que no lo leer谩n tambi茅n鈥︹€�
Me da algo de apuro, es tal el horror que aqu铆 se recoge, tan conmovedor, tan fascinante la forma collage de expresarlo a base de las voces de sus propias protagonistas, que me parece casi un delito confesar que, despu茅s de las maravillas que para m铆 fueron 芦Voces de Chernobil禄 y, sobre todo, 芦El fin del homo sovieticus禄 , este me ha dejado a medias.
鈥淒eja de recordar la guerra para recordar su juventud. Un fragmento de su vida鈥� Hay que atrapar ese momento. 隆Que no se escape!鈥�
El gran acierto de la autora fue encontrar esa forma distinta y potente de contar una historia, una forma que aqu铆 estren贸 y que perfeccion贸 en sus siguientes libros: centrarse en el relato de sus protagonistas, en los sentimientos de aquellas mujeres j贸venes que se alistaron en el ej茅rcito ruso en la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Una perspectiva nueva que no era una mera b煤squeda de originalidad.
鈥淟os hombres se ocultan detr谩s de la Historia, detr谩s de los hechos; la guerra los seduce con su acci贸n, con el enfrentamiento de las ideas, de los intereses鈥ientras que las mujeres est谩n a expensas de los sentimientos鈥� Sus recuerdos son distintos, su forma de recordar es distinta.鈥�
El problema del libro, o la causa del problema que en 茅l encontr茅, es que fue escrito en 1985, 6 a帽os antes de la disoluci贸n de la U.R.S.S., y, aunque la edici贸n incluye algunas de las partes prohibidas por el censor, creo que el libro adolece de una profunda autocensura por parte de la autora y tambi茅n de las mujeres que se prestaron a la entrevista. Una autocensura sin la que, seguramente, no hubiera podido ver la luz en aquellos tiempos, lo cual fue posible gracias a Gorbachov y su glasnost que permiti贸 que en el libro se trataran, aunque a veces muy de pasada, ciertos aspectos de la guerra que hasta ese momento hab铆an sido un tab煤 inabordable.
鈥淐on diecinueve a帽os me entregaron la Medalla al Valor. Con diecinueve se me qued贸 el pelo blanco.鈥�
As铆, el libro se ocupa en su mayor parte de glosar, por un lado, el horror de la guerra, el sufrimiento que supuso para la poblaci贸n rusa y especialmente para sus soldados y a煤n m谩s especialmente para las mujeres soldados; en segundo lugar, y a veces de una forma un tanto reiterativa, el valor, el amor a la patria y el esp铆ritu de sacrificio de las mujeres, tanto de las que se quedaron como, principalmente, de las que se alistaron dejando atr谩s a padres, madres y en ocasiones a sus propios hijos; tambi茅n hubo madres que se los llevaron consigo al unirse a los partisanos y quien lleg贸 a utilizarlos en sus operaciones, eran un buen camuflaje, qui茅n iba a sospechar de una madre con su hijito en brazos.
鈥滱y, nenas, qu茅 pu帽etera fue esa guerra... Vista con nuestros ojos. Con ojos de mujer... Es horrenda. Por eso no nos preguntan...鈥�
Tambi茅n hay un gran espacio en el libro dedicado a comentar lo chocante que fue el encuentro de esas mujeres con el ej茅rcito nada preparados para su incorporaci贸n.
鈥溌縈e preguntas que qu茅 es lo m谩s espantoso de la guerra?... Crees que te voy a responder: 芦Lo m谩s espantoso de la guerra es la muerte禄. Pues te voy a decir otra cosa鈥� Para m铆, lo m谩s terrible de la guerra era tener que llevar calzones de hombre.鈥�

鈥淵o hab铆a guardado a hurtadillas unos pendientes, me los pon铆a de noche, antes de acostarme...鈥�

鈥淟os soldados se burlaban de c贸mo sujet谩bamos los fusiles. No lo hac铆amos de la manera en que se suele sostener un arma, sino鈥� Igual que cog铆amos a nuestras mu帽ecas...鈥�
Comentarios que sirven de respiro entre las partes realmente duras, como leer que muchas de ellas se alistaban al ej茅rcito por amor a la revoluci贸n y a Stalin, aun cuando padres o maridos suyos hab铆an sido duramente represaliados por el r茅gimen (m谩s de una se alist贸 para poder demostrar a sus vecinos y al partido que eran buenos comunistas). Hab铆a qui茅n fue a la guerra entregada por sus propios padres, y muchas otras lo hicieron por vengar las barbaridades que los alemanes perpetraban a su paso por las aldeas rusas. La mayor铆a simplemente se dejaba llevar por la euforia del momento, su juventud, su ignorancia, su idealismo, su amor a la patria.
鈥淓n la escuela nos ense帽aban a amar a la muerte. Escrib铆amos redacciones sobre cu谩nto nos gustar铆a entregar la vida por鈥ra nuestro sue帽o.鈥�
De las barbaridades de los alemanes se dan algunos ejemplos aterradores, aunque no muchos, pero menos a煤n son los que se atribuyen al ej茅rcito sovi茅tico: apenas hay una o dos declaraciones sobre ello y siempre justificando la acci贸n en una supuesta justicia o compensaci贸n.
鈥淟os hombres llevaban tanto tiempo sin mujeres... y adem谩s, claro, el odio nos desbordaba. Entr谩bamos en un pueblo o en una aldea: los tres primeros d铆as se dedicaban al saqueo y a... recuerdo a una mujer alemana violada. Yac铆a desnuda, en la entrepierna le hab铆an metido una granada. Ahora siento verg眉enza, pero en aquel momento no la sent铆.鈥�
Tampoco se habla apenas de los abusos que tuvieron que soportar las propias mujeres rusas.
鈥淎ll铆 solo hab铆a hombres, era mejor vivir con uno que temerlos a todos. Durante los combates no hab铆a para tanto鈥� pero acabado el combate te acorralaban... De noche no hab铆a manera de salir de la covacha... all铆 hubo de todo porque nadie quer铆a morir鈥e noche me despertaba agitando los brazos: repart铆a bofetadas, me quitaba de encima sus manos.鈥�
En fin, una 茅poca horrorosa que, sin embargo, no logr贸 matar la ilusi贸n鈥�
鈥淐re铆amos que despu茅s de la guerra, despu茅s de aquel mar de l谩grimas, vivir铆amos una vida fabulosa. Una vida bonita. Despu茅s de la Victoria... Despu茅s del gran d铆a... Cre铆amos que la gente se volver铆a buena, que nos amar铆amos los unos a los otros. Que todos ser铆amos hermanos y hermanas. C贸mo esper谩bamos ese d铆a...鈥�
鈥� aunque no tardar铆a mucho en transmutarse en otro tipo de horror: tras la victoria final, muchos de los que volvieron fueron deportados a campos de concentraci贸n sospechosos de traici贸n a la patria. No hay prisioneros en la guerra, hay traidores, dec铆a el camarada Stalin.
鈥淗aber vivido en los territorios ocupados, haber ca铆do prisionero de guerra, haber pasado por los campos de trabajo en Alemania, haber estado en los campos de exterminio: todo levantaba sospechas. La pregunta b谩sica era: 驴c贸mo hab铆as salido con vida? 驴Por qu茅 no hab铆as muerto?鈥�
Las mujeres, adem谩s, sufrieron un desprecio a煤n m谩s horrible por parte de sus familias鈥�
鈥淰ete... Tienes dos hermanas peque帽as. 驴Qui茅n querr谩 casarse con ellas? Todos saben que has pasado cuatro a帽os en el frente...鈥�
鈥� y de la sociedad en general.
鈥淟os hombres no abr铆an la boca y las mujeres... nos gritaban: 鈥溌abemos lo que estuvisteis haciendo all铆! Os insinuasteis a nuestros hombres con vuestros chochos j贸venes. Sois las putas del frente... Perras militares...鈥�

Es una visi贸n completamente distinta que la visi贸n de la Historia, as铆, con may煤scula. Son testimonios, en primera persona, de mujeres que estuvieron ah铆, vivieron la experiencia a su manera.

Casi todas se fueron muy chicas, entre los 15 y 18 a帽os, sin experiencia, asustadas, y mostrando una valent铆a que quiz谩s para m铆, leyendo sus historias desde mi propia experiencia, me conmueven hasta la m茅dula.

No solo por el sufrimiento que les toc贸 ver, o por el miedo, el dolor de ver tanta muerte, sangre, odio, violencia. Sino por su valent铆a, me conmueve el que cada una se haya ido voluntariamente a meter ah铆.

En este momento del mundo y la vida, no s茅 si manejamos ese nivel de patriotismo, ese deseo de salvar lo que conocemos, no s茅 si puestos en esa situaci贸n tomar铆amos la decisi贸n que todas esas mujeres tomaron al irse a la guerra.

Yo no conozco esa valent铆a, ni ese empuje.
Son voces de otro mundo, sus realidades son completamente distintas, no me puedo imaginar el haber vivido en la Rusia de esa 茅poca, el Stalinismo, el comunismo, la p茅rdida de familiares, amigos, el hambre, el ver tantas cosas terribles.

Pero s铆 puedo entender lo m谩s b谩sico, el ser mujer. Y como, en circunstancias tan distintas, nos puede conectar. El alma femenina, a pesar de cualquier circunstancia, entiendo sus reacciones ante el dolor de los otros, entiendo su valent铆a, entiendo el que a pesar de estar viendo cosas horribles, extra帽aran a sus papas, sus familiares, los momentos en los que aunque quieren sentir odio por los alemanes, si ven a uno herido o hambriento, lo ayudan.

El que hayan tenido que volver de la guerra, y que intentaran reconstruir sus vidas, tener hijos, ser mujeres, cada una construy茅ndose a su manera, adem谩s en una 茅poca en donde ser mujeres tambi茅n ten铆a las tipicas presiones, Intentar seguir adelante, a pesar de la experiencia tan traum谩tica que acababan de vivir.

Alexi茅vich tiene una empat铆a incre铆ble, se sorprende, sufre con ellas, y ves lo importante que es lo que est谩 haciendo, lo importante que se vuelve el hecho de que ella elija escribir sus historias, el dejarlas contarlas, lo importante que es para ellas. Y para nosotros. No dejar que se olviden, darles ese espacio para hablar.

A veces necesitamos que nos lo cuenten as铆, no es suficiente con los hechos, contados en may煤sculas, desde una visi贸n oficial, o no oficial, pero en grande.

Tambi茅n necesitamos las miles de micro historias en medio de la gran historia. Para intentar meternos en su piel, intentar entender lo que sent铆an, y por qu茅 me parece necesario? Porque es importante que vivencias as铆 no pasen al olvido, son parte de la historia en grande tambi茅n, de el proceso humano, que nos sobrepasa, que est谩 por encima de nosotros, y que nos es necesario para intentar entender este mundo, tan confuso, tan violento.

Quedo feliz por haber le铆do este libro, agradecida a Svetlana (te puedo tutear, querida Svetlana?) por haberlo escrito, por haber visto la importancia de escribirlo, por sentir la necesidad de hacerlo. Porque al escribirlo ha conectado algo mucho m谩s all谩 de la circunstancia que nos toca vivir. Conecta la sensibilidad, y nos conecta en ella, nos cuenta del miedo, del dolor, y tambi茅n de la fuerza que existe en las mujeres, que puede existir en los seres humanos, y que nos devuelve la fe en lo que puede venir, y como lo podemos enfrentar.

World War II, the Germans are marching toward Moscow. Men and boys have answered the call to defend the Motherland. War was life...but surprisingly, teenage girls and young women signed up to go to the front. Women served as snipers, traffic controllers, medical assistants, surgeons, anti-aircraft gunners and sappers to name a few wartime jobs. They were doggedly determined to fight for Russia, often insisting on being in the front lines. Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich "...brings together a chorus of voices..." after conducting countless interviews with ordinary women who displayed bravery, courage, and fortitude in the face of war. Women were forced to ponder the fine line between humanity and inhumanity. What was the difference between death and murder? The solitary face of death was ever present for each woman.

Personal stories and ruminations were provided by two hundred women, gathered by the author from 1978-1985, providing a women's perspective of World War II. A woman, graduating from sniper school was ready for a day of "hunting". The enemy was still a human being. Her hands trembled. She had to get used to the thought of it! Another sniper, marching past human bones at a burned out settlement was ready to kill, no longer pitying the enemy.

The enemy has rounded up villagers in a school and doused the building with kerosene. It was necessary to obtain medical supplies, bandages and serums. Who could get through enemy lines?Maria, a partisan hiding in the forest, had recently given birth to a baby daughter. Maria rubbed salt on her baby to give her a rash, swaddled her on her back and approaching German guards quietly stated that her daughter had typhus. She was allowed to quickly pass. After securing the supplies, Maria entered the forest and weep for hurting her baby.

An elderly woman found another way to resist. Every day, she opened her window and practiced throwing water out with a dipper, each time improving her aim and distance. The rationale...if the enemy comes to Leningrad, she would scald them with boiling water.

Despite the sacrifices made by women, including the ultimate sacrifice by many, women were not given their due after the war. Men considered these fierce fighters to be comrades only. Upon returning to civilian life, male soldiers wanted to meet carefree girls, not unfeminine women who fought next to them in the trenches.

In "The Unwomanly Face of War: An Oral History of Women in World War II" by Svetlana Alexievich, two hundred women were given a platform to finally break their silence. Their chilling and emotional memories, need and deserve to be heard.

Thank you Random House and Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review "The Unwomanly Face of War".

This author tackles the personal cost of war on woman, those who served and those who were civilians during the second world war. These personal accounts, some just paragraphs, some a few pages, but all heartfelt and heartbreaking. We have read many books, fiction and non that chronicle men's experiences and after effects, but very few women. Ordinary women I should say, who were living normal lives but feeling compelled or just caught up in the tangled and long reaching call to war.

The author states her reasons for writing this book in her forward, this is actually a re-release, published for the first time, I believe in the 80's. I of course knew that women served as nurses, ambulance drivers, but never knew there were a group of women snipers. We hear how difficult their first kill was, and how they changed because of this act. Their experiences when they were no longer serving, integrating back into society. How they were perceived by men, and society in general.

As the author states, women perceive their experiences differently than men do, she wanted to highlight this , and bring it to the attention of the public. Some wanted to talk, some said little, wanting simply to forget. Some parts of this was difficult to read, some sad, some frustrating and reading a few I got angry. All these thing women did, went through, and never had it acknowledged, pitiful and shameful. Thanks to this author, at least some of us will read about them now.

鈥淭here are no heroes and incredible feats, there are simply people who are busy doing inhumanely human things.鈥�

I spent a lot of time looking at the picture on the cover of my edition of 鈥淭he Unwomanly Face of War鈥�. It鈥檚 a picture of Natalya Kravtsona, Hero of the Soviet Union, commander of the 46th Guards Air Regiment. She is covered in medals. But the look on her face, the slight scrunch of her nose, the way her lips are pursed鈥� I wonder what she was thinking, but whatever it was, I don鈥檛 think it was pride or joy. Its the complicated look of someone who knows that while she may be a hero for the photo op, when she gets home, she鈥檒l have to face the scorn, resentment and judgement of her family, friends and neighbors. The look of someone who has probably seen, if not done, terrible things in the name of her country and who will have to go back to whatever semblance of a normal life she can find. It鈥檚 the look of someone who is stuck in a 鈥渄amned if you do, damned if you don鈥檛鈥� situation.

I read Alexeivich鈥檚 book about Chernobyl (/review/show...) a couple of years ago, and it floored me. It also prepared me for the contents of this book: I knew this would be an intimate and brutal oral history of events my poor brain can barely imagine.

This book left me with images of women who cried when their braids were cut off at the recruitment office, but who then fearlessly faced guns and explosions, endured back-breaking work and hunger, sustained terrible injuries鈥� only to return home and be scorned because they had left their children behind to fight for the Motherland, who were not considered 鈥渞eal鈥� women by the men who had protected them in the heat of battle鈥� Women who lost their families, their husbands, their children.

These women told Alexievich about terrible atrocities they were witnesses to, and yes, it wasn鈥檛 the first time I heard about a lot of things described in this book, but when it is told in a first-person account, it sounds very different from the off-screen narrator of a documentary.

I thought a lot about how young most of these women were, many as young as 16, and I try to imagine myself back at that age, and I wonder what I would have done if someone had suddenly told me I was in charge of a machine gun, or that I had to carry the amputated legs of my compatriots from the medical tent to a trench, where it would be disposed of. I thought about how these women were told they needed to serve their people and they were eager to do so, to make enormous sacrifices for their country. We owe it to such women to never forget their stories.

Deeply affecting, and a little traumatizing. Highly recommended.

BRUTAL, ENORME TRABAJO DE ESTA ESCRITORA Y CHAP脫.
Un libro duro, dif铆cil de leer por los testimonios que en el se recogen, no es un libro t铆pico de la guerra con sus misiones y operaciones y batalla y dem谩s.
Me parece que es un libro necesario para reconocer a todas esas mujeres que participaron en la guerra, aunque estar铆a mejor dicho, NI脩AS!!! ya que es sorprendente la edad en la que se alistaron desde 13-15-17 a帽os!! Muchas veces eran rechazadas pero no cejaban en su empe帽o y adem谩s muchas quer铆an luchar por su patria, no solo hacer labores de intendencia o "t铆picas de la mujer".
Hay una cantidad ingente de testimonios, desde francotiradoras (algo inusual), marineras, zapadoras, artilleras... muchas en profesiones dentro del ejercito que no hab铆an visto nunca a una mujer. Tambi茅n es encomiable los testimonios de enfermeras, sanitarias ,operadoras de radio, cocineras, lavanderas...
Es un libro de sentimientos, sensaciones, que por lo general no relatan los hombres cuando hablan de la guerra.
Me ha parecido un libro espectacular.
Valoraci贸n: 10/10
Sinopsis: Casi un mill贸n de mujeres combati贸 en las filas del Ej茅rcito Rojo durante la segunda guerra mundial, pero su historia nunca ha sido contada. Este libro re煤ne los recuerdos de cientos de ellas, mujeres que fueron francotiradoras, condujeron tanques o trabajaron en hospitales de campa帽a. Su historia no es una historia de la guerra, ni de los combates, es la historia de hombres y mujeres en guerra.
驴Qu茅 les ocurri贸? 驴C贸mo les transform贸? 驴De qu茅 ten铆an miedo? 驴C贸mo era aprender a matar? Estas mujeres, la mayor铆a por primera vez en sus vidas, cuentan la parte no heroica de la guerra, a menudo ausente de los relatos de los veteranos. Hablan de la suciedad y del fr铆o, del hambre y de la violencia sexual, de la angustia y de la sombra omnipresente de la muerte. Alexi茅vich deja que sus voces resuenen en este libro estremecedor, que pudo reescribir en 2002 para introducir los fragmentos tachados por la censura y material que no se hab铆a atrevido a usar en la primera versi贸n.

This is riveting. I hated every time I had to stop to do something else. It is what I am looking for every time I pick up a book about war. Are women perhaps better at baring their souls, expressing emotions and revealing their innermost thoughts? The book seems to prove this.

EVERYBODY should read this, men and women alike.

It is an important book.

A book about war - all wars.

This is a difficult book to read because it captures emotions. It shows man at his lowest, but also love and generosity and kindness. The women speak from their hearts. Over 200 women have been interviewed. All were soldiers in the war, but with widely varying positions - snipers, laundresses, nurses, doctors, foot soldiers, telephone operators. We hear what they have to say about their experiences during and after the Great Patriotic War. What we are told is extremely personal.

* Don't worry, as I did, about the fact that hundreds of people speak. Each of them has something important to say.

* I liked the author's book , but this book, , is in an entirely different class. It is exceptional.

The audiobook is primarily narrated by two women - Julia Emelin and and Yelena Shmulenson. Two men carry a smaller part. The narration is fantastic. The Russian dialect is strong and the grammar is not perfect. This is just how it should be. You feel the interviewees emotions. I believe the emotions come through better by listening rather than reading. I am glad I chose the audiobook.

This book will become a classic.

yakla艧谋k bir dakikad谋r ekrana bak谋yorum, bunun 眉st眉ne ne s枚ylerim diye.

en ba艧ta bize, bana ay谋p. o kadar sava艧la ilgili 艧eyler izle, oku; hi莽 akl谋na kad谋nlar gelmesin, hi莽 haberin olmas谋n. hepsi bir yana, 艧u ikinci d眉nya sava艧谋ndaki rus kad谋n谋n谋n hakk谋n谋 asla 枚deyemeyiz.

beni kitapta en 莽ok 眉zen 艧eylerin ba艧谋nda bu kadar cefay谋 莽ekip u臒runa hayat谋n谋, beden sa臒l谋臒谋n谋 hatta b眉t眉nl眉臒眉n眉, ak谋l sa臒l谋臒谋n谋 koyan kad谋nlara, sava艧 sonras谋 cephede hi莽 bulunmayan kad谋nlar谋n ve hem bulunan, hem bulunmayan erkeklerin tav谋rlar谋 oldu. 莽谋ld谋rmamak elde de臒il. el 眉st眉nde tutulmas谋, maddi manevi her t眉rl眉 s谋k谋nt谋dan uzak tutulmas谋 gereken bu kad谋nlar谋n kimsesiz, maddi s谋k谋nt谋lar i莽inde, 莽ekirdek ailesi hari莽 toplumdan d谋艧lanarak, 鈥渆vlenmeye lay谋k bulunmayarak鈥� ya艧amas谋... korkun莽 眉z眉c眉 艧eyler.

kitab谋n en be臒endi臒im taraf谋, b枚yle 鈥渟ava艧鈥� gibi b眉y眉k kavramlarla ilgili b眉y眉k b眉y眉k laflar etmekten uzak, o atmosferi ger莽ekten ya艧aman谋z谋 sa臒layan detaylar谋n varl谋臒谋. bu da yine kad谋nlar sayesinde. kad谋nlar谋 sava艧a 莽a臒谋r谋p kad谋n bedeneninde 眉niforma 眉retmekten aciz bir zihniyetin kar艧谋s谋nda 5-10 numara b眉y眉k 莽izme giymekten ayaklar谋 kanayan, yara bere i莽inde kalan kad谋nlar; regl olup bir par莽a bez bile bulamayan kad谋nlar; bir daha hi莽 regl olmayan kad谋nlar; beraber esir d眉艧t眉臒眉 erkekler g枚t眉r眉l眉rken s谋rf kad谋n oldu臒u i莽in t眉rl眉 i艧kenceyle 枚ld眉r眉len kad谋nlar; kendi 莽ocu臒unu kendi elleriyle 枚ld眉rmek zorunda kalan, veya cepheye 莽ocu臒uyla giden, hatta cephede ba臒谋ramadan do臒uran kad谋nlar... sava艧a girdi臒iniz diye insanl谋臒谋n, kad谋nl谋臒谋n tamamen sona ermedi臒ini o kadar g眉zel anlatm谋艧lar ki etkilenmemek m眉mk眉n de臒il. ben bir 艧ey izlerken 莽ok kolay a臒lar谋m da okurken 枚yle kolay kolay a臒lamam. istanbul toplu ta艧谋malar谋 baya臒谋 bir a臒lamama 艧ahitlik etti bu kitap sayesinde.
