From 1941 to 1945 thousands of British and American sailors came to the northern Soviet ports of Arkhangel’sk and Molotovsk with Lend-Lease convoys. On the shore they made many casual contacts with local residents, in particular with Soviet women. These contacts came under close scrutiny of the Soviet authorities who tried to limit the alleged subversive influence of foreign nationals on Soviet citizens. Local women who dated Allied personnel faced harassment and repression that ranged from administrative exile to imprisonment in the Gulag. Resentments against women who had intimate relationships with foreigners during the war were widespread throughout the European theater, and not limited to the USSR. Still the Soviet authorities’ treatment of Arkhangel’sk women who dated nationals of ‘friendly’ countries was particularly harsh. They faced not just moral condemnation, but legal prosecution and long prison terms. The severity of their repression is comparable to how the Soviet side treated civilian Nazi collaborators. Ultimately, Soviet reactions to such wartime contacts with Allied nationals shed light on the broader social history of the Soviet home front, inter-Allied relationships on a grassroots level, and Soviet wartime and postwar justice that was arbitrary in nature and largely defined by local initiatives.

犯罪联络人:战时阿尔汉格尔斯克的苏联妇女和盟军水手

从 1941 年到 1945 年,成千上万的英国和美国水手带着租借船队来到苏联北部港口阿尔汉格尔斯克和莫洛托夫斯克。在岸上,他们与当地居民,特别是苏联妇女进行了许多偶然的接触。这些接触受到苏联当局的严密审查,他们试图限制所谓的外国国民对苏联公民的颠覆性影响。与盟军人员约会的当地女性面临从行政流放到古拉格监禁的骚扰和镇压。对战争期间与外国人有亲密关系的女性的不满在整个欧洲战区普遍存在,不仅限于苏联。尽管如此,苏联当局对与“友好”国家国民约会的阿尔汉格尔斯克妇女的待遇特别严厉。他们不仅面临道德谴责,还面临法律起诉和长期监禁。他们镇压的严重程度堪比苏联方面对待平民纳粹合作者的方式。最终,苏联对这种战时与盟军国民接触的反应揭示了苏联本土前线更广泛的社会历史、基层盟军之间的关系,以及苏联战时和战后正义的性质,这种正义在本质上是任意的,主要由地方倡议决定.
