“…While the early history of Soviet defectology has been investigated by several scholars (Smagorinsky 2012), Mirjam Galley's (2021) recent study explores the impact of this discipline on Soviet residential childcare after Khrushchev's 1958 education reform. The author sheds light on the medicalized view of children with disabilities as well as Soviet scientists' attempts to deal with 'deviance' by classifying children along the principle of work ability.…”

This paper seeks to outline recent trends in historical research on disability during state socialism in Eastern Europe. In doing so, it explores how an emerging generation of historians have investigated various aspects of disability in Eastern Europe before 1989 and raises the question of whether there was a distinct experience of disability under state socialism. Drawing on studies published in English and German, the paper traces both Soviet discourses and practices after 1917 and Central and Eastern European trajectories after 1945. It argues that disability policies and expert discourses were informed by a productivist logic as a governing strategy to increase work capacity and to integrate the disabled into socialist society. The paper concludes by discussing the need for a transnational, comparative approach for conceptualising how disability was construed during communism in Eastern Europe.
