Abstract
This article examines representations of war remembrance in the francophone Russian writer Andreï Makine’s novel La terre et le ciel de Jacques Dorme [The Earth and Sky of Jacques Dorme, 2003]. The novel portrays events and experiences of World War II from three temporal perspectives: that of the eponymous French pilot, who flies transports for the Soviets in the Alaska-Siberia air bridge during the war; that of the narrator as a child, who witnesses the construction of Stalingrad monuments and the emergence of the Soviet war cult in the mid-1960s; and that of the adult narrator, who searches for Dorme’s remains in post-Soviet Russia and seeks to commemorate the nowforgotten pilot by writing about his life. Makine portrays official monuments and commemoration of the Battle of Stalingrad as attempts on the part of the Soviet state to manipulate the collective memory. By contrast, he depicts individual remembrance as a more authentic alternative to collective commemorative practices. This article interprets Makine’s depiction of war remembrance against the background of the Soviet war cult, showing how the novel privileges individual over collective memory. It argues that Makine represents individual oral and written narratives in particular as an alternative to official histories and public commemoration.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
