Rebecca Manley specializes in Russian and Soviet history. Her book, 'Tashkent Station: Evacuation and Survival in the Soviet Union during the War, 1941-1946', offers a novel examination of how the war transformed the lives of generations of Soviet citizens by utilizing previously unexploited archival collections from Russia, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan. This work was awarded the W. Bruce Lincoln Book Prize, emphasizing its exceptional merit and lasting significance for understanding Russia's past. Currently, she is working on a book-length project titled 'Tsar Hunger: Conceiving Hunger in Modern Russian History', which is supported by a SSHRC Insight Grant. This project explores cultural conceptions and political ideas surrounding hunger from the 1860s to the collapse of the Soviet Union, analyzing how various social actors conceptualized and responded to hunger. Her contributions to historiography include numerous publications that engage with the intertwined dynamics of culture, politics, and humanitarianism in Russian history.
