Als die NATO-Truppen im Jahr 2021 aus Afghanistan abzogen, überließen sie das Land seinem Schicksal. Ähnliches vollbrachte die UdSSR mehrere Jahrzehnte zuvor. Zwischen 1979 und 1989 intervenierte sie mit über 600.000 Soldaten in Afghanistan, konnte es aber dauerhaft nicht befrieden, was schließlich zum Abzug sowie zum Sturz der damaligen Regierung führte. Den längsten Krieg der sowjetischen Geschichte bezahlten circa 15.000 UdSSR-Bürger mit dem Leben. Davon ausgehend untersucht die Studie auf Grundlage von selbst erhobenen lebensgeschichtlichen Interviews, wie sich ehemalige sowjetische Kriegsteilnehmer in Russland heute an den Krieg erinnern, welche Bedeutung sie ihm beimessen und sie als Gruppe versuchen, Anerkennung für ihren Einsatz von der russischen Regierung und der Gesellschaft zu erhalten.

M. T. Vasudevan Nair¿s much acclaimed novel Randamoozham is a retelling of the ancient epic the Mahabharata based on the perspective of Bhima, the second Pandava. Bhima, Lone Warrior is the English translation of the work by Gita Krishnankutty. Possessed of amazing strength, fierce loyalty and great tenderness, Bhima is almost always eclipsed by his brothers Yudhishtira and Arjuna. The title wholly signifies his helplessness as a second born. This dissertation entitled Mind Mapping Bhima: A Freudian Psychoanalytic Reading of M. T. Vasudevan Nair¿s Bhima, Lone Warrior, aims to have a psychoanalytic reading of the protagonist Bhima with the help of Freudian concepts and theories. The key idea is conveyed through three core chapters. The first chapter, ¿Journey through the Retellings of the Mahabharatä examines the genre ¿epic¿ with special mention about the Indian epic, the Mahabharata. Moreover, an introduction about retellings and how they reshape the traditional outlook regarding epics are given. Some prominent retellings of the Mahabharata including M. T. Vasudevan Nair¿s Randamoozham are discussed here.
