This workshop aims at shedding a new light on ongoing research concerning still little known phe­nomena in Soviet history, i.e. the specificities of the purging process in the territories liberated from German occupation. Soviet practices of elimination and relegation were transformed in the light of the war experience of millions of Soviet citizens and as a consequence of the changing identity of the targets of the purges. The Soviet purges are thus a major component of the violence occurring throughout the European continent in the immediate aftermath of occupation and war, as well as an important part of Soviet revolutionary and repressive power policies. The practices of post-war purges cannot indeed be separated from the process of redefining the figure of the enemy and Soviet identities. At the heart of this set of questions lie the problem of defining collaboration crimes, including the place given to the genocide, of the role played by various agents and institutions in the search for the guilty, and of the diversity of the territories concerned by the purges. In the light of new research and material, how do historians define this decisive step toward the recreation of Soviet state, power and society in the aftermath of the Second World War?
