“Small Places, Large Issues”: Between Military Space and Post-Military Place

Summary/Abstract: The contributions to this special issue suggest that the process of making sense of the Soviet/Russian military presence in, and its consequences for, “small places” and their inhabitants is very much an on-going process closely connected with national memory politics and various interpretations of past and current “large issues”. What may be deemed shameful or painful and silenced, or overlooked at the national level, focused on generalisations, is conspicuously present at the local level and needs to be dealt with for successful self-identification to take place.
