Umkämpftes Geschichtsgelände
Der Erinnerungsort Babyn Jar war in der Ukraine über Jahrzehnte umkämpft: Dem Bemühen jüdischer Aktivisten, das Andenken der Opfer zu ehren, stand das Bestreben der Sowjetmacht gegenüber, den Holocaust als Teil der nationalsozialistischen Aggression gegen die „sowjetische Zivilbevölkerung“ darzustellen. Mit der staatlichen Unabhängigkeit der Ukraine 1991 kamen neue Motive und widerstreitende Interessen ins Spiel. Der Umgang mit Babyn Jar wechselte je nach politischer Ausrichtung des amtierenden Präsidenten. Die Selbstverortung der Ukraine zwischen West- und Osteuropa vollzieht sich auch erinnerungspolitisch. Babyn Jar steht im Zentrum heftiger Auseinandersetzungen. Jüngstes Kapitel ist der Streit um eine geplante zentrale Gedenkstätte, das Babyn Yar Holocaust Memorial Center.
Babi Yar as a place of remembrance was the subject of dispute in Ukraine for several decades. The attempt by Jewish activists to honour the memory of the victims was opposed by the consistent efforts of the Soviet Union to downplay the Holocaust as a part of the National Socialist aggression against the “civilian Soviet population”. When Ukraine gained independence in 1991, new motives and conflicting interests came into play. The way in which Babi Yar was treated changed in accordance with the political allegiances of the sitting president. The self-identification of Ukraine as a country situated between West and East Europe is also reflected in its remembrance policy. Babi Yar is the subject of heated discussion. The most recent development is the dispute surrounding a planned central memorial site, the Babi Yar Holocaust Memorial Center.

Kiev 1941
In just four weeks in the summer of 1941 the German Wehrmacht wrought unprecedented destruction on four Soviet armies, conquering central Ukraine and killing or capturing three quarters of a million men. This was the Battle of Kiev - one of the largest and most decisive battles of World War II and, for Hitler and Stalin, a battle of crucial importance. In this book, David Stahel charts the battle's dramatic course and aftermath, uncovering the irreplaceable losses suffered by Germany's 'panzer groups' despite their battlefield gains, and the implications of these losses for the German war effort. He illuminates the inner workings of the German army as well as the experiences of ordinary soldiers, showing that with the Russian winter looming and Soviet resistance still unbroken, victory came at huge cost and confirmed the turning point in Germany's war in the East.

Investigating Factors Affecting Central Bank Information Systems Success: The Case of the Central Bank of Mongolia
This article investigates the factors affecting the success of central bank information systems (IS) in Mongolia. Drawing from the DeLone and McLean (2003) IS success models and Seddon and Kiew's (1997) path model, the factors that could potentially affect the success of the external and the internal IS of the central bank of Mongolia were empirically investigated. The data analysis was conducted using a quantitative method for the external IS and a mixed method for the internal IS. This article contributes to the academic literature by integrating DeLone and McLean's (2003) IS success model with Seddon and Kiew's (1997) path model and by validating the two aforementioned models within the context of central bank information systems in a developing country. This article has also important practical contributions, particularly for the central bank of Mongolia's authorities. The results, discussions, and implications of this study are elaborated in the paper.

Ein Grab in den Lüften
Als Zwölfjähriger war Anatolij Kuznecov Zeuge des Massakers in Babij Jar. Er überlebte die deutsche Besatzung und den Krieg und verfasste in den frühen 1960er Jahren seinen dokumentarischen Roman Babij Jar. In der Sowjetunion wurde der Text durch die Zensur entstellt. Erst nach der Emigration des Autors erschien das Buch in seiner eigentlichen Form. Nur der Wahrheit verpflichtet, ignoriert Kuznecov jedes ideologische Denkverbot und historische Tabu. Er legt Zeugnis ab, was in Babij Jar geschah. Er durchdringt die Verbrechen totalitärer Herrschaft des Nationalsozialismus und des Kommunismus. Und er bringt das Recht des einzelnen Menschen auf ein Leben in Würde zur Geltung. Kuznecovs Werk ist ein unbekannter Klassiker.
When he was twelve years old, Anatoly Kuznetsov witnessed the massacre at Babi Yar. He survived the German occupation and the war, and during the early 1960s, he wrote his fact-based novel Babi Yar. In the Soviet Union, the text was altered by the censors. It was only after Kuznetsov emigrated that it became possible to publish the book in the original version. With only the desire to tell the truth in mind, he ignores all ideological and historical taboos. He testifies to what happened at Babi Yar, unflinchingly identifying the crimes of the totalitarian National Socialist and communist regimes. He also asserts the right of the individual to a life of dignity. Kuznetsov’s work is an unknown classic.
