Soviet journalist gives firsthand history lesson
By Dave Wakefleld Kansan staff writer
Soviet historians are busy rewriting much of Soviet history following the recent expansion of freedoms brought by perestroika, a Soviet journalist said yesterday.
"This year, there are no textbooks of history," said Valentin M. Berezhkov, the editor-in-chief of a monthly magazine, and they are not taught history this year."
Berezhkov spoke to about 50 people last night about his experiences while working for the Soviet foreign ministry.
Soviet leaders Joseph Stalin, Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev all had history books rewritten while they were in power to emphasize their own roles during revolution and the wars, he said.
Now that historians are free to do research and write the truth, there is a void as historians are uncovering many documents and sources previously subrevealed. Bereshkov said.
"It is a great achievement," he said. "Something we never dreamed."
Berezhko was in the Soviet diplomatic service from 1940 to 1945 and served as an interpreter for Stalin and for V.M. Molotov, Stalin's minister of foreign affairs. He interpreted talks between Hitler and Molotov before World War II and was Molotov's assistant during the war.
No one else could have led Russia through the war, he said. No one else would have been able to inspire the people.
Stalin was a great leader, a half-god to the soviet people, he said. Despite the killings and purges done at Stalin's initiation, Berezhkov said he had believed in Stalin.
so save. Today, you can publish your
own history book if you want."
But it was Stalin's refusal to believe Germany would attack Russia during the summer of 1941 that led to the destruction of much of the Soviet army. Berezhkov said.
"When Molotov said, 'Yes, this is war,' Stalin was so shocked he was silent for 5 to 10 minutes," he said. "He refused to speak to the people. He told Molotov to speak to the people."
Top undergraduate musicians to perform at honors recital
By Anita Meyer
Kansan staff writer
For many of the KU students performing in tonight's Fall Undergraduate Honors Recital, music occupies more than just classroom time.
"It's hard to think of something where music isn't involved," said trumpet player Richard Mullen, McLean, Va., sophomore. "It's pretty much everything."
Mullen is one of nine undergraduates who will perform at 8 p.m. today at Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall.
Each performer auditioned before a committee of five faculty members from the music and dance department.
To be eligible to audition, each performer had to be recommended by a music and dance faculty member, said David Turnbull, chairman of the committee and trumpet professor.
Turnbull said that each committee member could recommend two or three students to audition.
"We try to represent the top per-
formers at KU in this recital," he said.
Scott Stalcup, Lincoln, Neb., sophomore, said he had been playing the violin for 15 years.
"You know how parents will start, their kids on instruments or on strings?" he asked. "Well, I just want the violin, the violi, and I've stuck with it."
Lisa Tannebaum, Lawrence senior, has been playing the harp for five years.
The five other undergraduate students who will perform tonight are: Karin Dunne Paludan, Lawrence junior, piano; RaNaE Alderson, Topea junior, flute; Shannon Wettestin, Lawrence senior, piano; Toni Everhart, Hoyt junior, soprano; Barry Evans, Topea junior, trumpet; and Bethany Hodges, Oskaloosa senior, soprano.
