Frank Summary "Kazakh Muslims in the Red Army is the first study of the WWII experience of Soviet Kazakhs. Based on indigenous-language sources, it focuses on the wartime experiences of Kazakh conscripts and the home front as expressed in correspondence. The study emphasizes how Kazakh social structure, religion, and patriotism were expressed and mobilized during the war years. By focusing on indigenous forms of private correspondence, the book presents an alternative to previous studies focusing on narratives and documentation derived from the Soviet state. It offers an entirely new basis for examining the wartime experiences of Soviet citizens and Soviet Muslims"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 24, 2022) Subject World War, 1939-1945 -- Participation, Kazakh Soldiers -- Soviet Union -- Correspondence Soldiers -- Kazkhstan -- Correspondence Kazakh poetry -- 20th century -- History and criticism World War, 1939-1945 -- Participation, Muslim.
