Project title:<\/strong> V\u00e5r felles seier (“Our common victory”)<\/span><\/p>\n

Summary of the project:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project “Our common victory” was planned in connection with the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. It combines three academic components: history, language and film.<\/p>\n

History<\/strong>: In order to find out what people remember and know about World War II after 75 years, a group of students from UiT The Arctic University of Norway traveled to Arkhangelsk and conducted interviews with representatives of different generations: those who survived the war (80+), their children (60+), grandchildren (40+) and great-grandchildren (20+). Through the seminars, where Russian and Norwegian history professors lectured on World War II, and personal communication with people who experienced the war, the students gained a deeper insight into what the war meant for Northern Norway and Russia.<\/p>\n

Language:<\/strong> Throughout the project, the students had a lot of exposure to both Russian and Norwegian: the interviews were conducted in Russian and certain episodes were translated into Norwegian.<\/p>\n

Film:<\/strong> The project resulted in a film called \u201cOur common victory\u201d. The students were the main stake-holders in its production, were introduced to interviewing and filming techniques and worked with the selection of relevant episodes and the subtitles.<\/p>\n

The last, but not the least, component is the social contact established across the border, fortified by joint academic and social gatherings, excursions, and the premiere of the film, hosted at UiT, with a lively discussion.<\/p>\n
