THE PRIVATE SPHERE IN ESTONIA DURING STALINISM

O. Mertelsmann

Статья известного эстонского историка О.Мертелсманна посвящена анализу проявлений частного сектора в экономике Эстонии в период сталинизма т.е. с 1940 по 1953 гг. Источниковую базу составили материалы Архива Эстонской КП в Таллине, Эстонского национального музея, коллекции личных интервью. Текст предваряет историческая справка, из которой явствует, что в межвоенный период ситуация в Эстонии принципиально отличалась от советской модели, а исторически Эстония развивалась в русле центральноевропейского культурного пространства. Характерными чертами развития до советизации были аграрность, социальная замкнутость, сила традиций, малый слой образованной интеллектуальной элиты. В начале ХХ века начались модернизационные процессы, происходило становление национального самосознания народа. После насильственного включения Эстонии в состав СССР в августе 1940 г., на её территории начались серьёзные изменения: национализация, коллективизация, чистка государственных органов и культурных организаций от буржуазного влияния, депортации политически неблагонадёжных элементов. Эти преобразования были временно приостановлены в период немецкой оккупации 194161944 гг. В эстонской историографии межвоенный период принято называть– «эстонское время», период немецкой оккупации – «нацистское время», период нахождения в составе СССР – «советское время». Сначала значительная часть населения Эстонии негативно восприняла советизацию, но в 506е гг. большинство людей изменило своё отношение к режиму от молчаливого несогласия к прагматичному сотрудничеству. В целом изменения носили не такой глубокий характер, как в других регионах СССР, Эстония стала особой моделью советской республики – «окном на Запад». Автор считает, что частный сектор и в послевоенное время продолжал играть важную роль в экономике Эстонии (в нём производилось четвёртая часть Национального дохода). Это – личные огороды, торговля на рынке, частое строительство и сфера услуг. Хотя государство стремилось контролировать личную жизнь граждан, частная жизнь не прекращалась. Изоляция хуторов давала возможность слушать зарубежные радиостанции и получать альтернативную официальной информацию. В частных библиотеках сохранялись запрещённые властью книги довоенных лет издания. Большинство населения, даже не будучи активными прихожанами, продолжали следовать христианским ритуалам применительно к важным событиям жизни. Другими проявлениями частной общественной жизни были танцевальные вечера и традиционные субботние сельские праздники. В заключение автор приходит к выводу о том, что сохранение частной жизни в Эстонии в период сталинизма облегчили её вхождение в «западное сообщество» в 1990-е гг.
