The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine, now in its second year, has many historical connections and implications – including some which may not immediately spring to mind. The German War Graves Commission estimates that the human remains of more than 800 Wehrmacht soldiers have been uncovered so far over the course of this war, some of them surfacing as new trenches were being dug. Helmets and boots have also been found. Historian Reinhart Koselleck’s (1923–2006) metaphor of Zeitschichten, or temporal layers, acquires here a different meaning and a very concrete materiality. (Koselleck had himself served as a soldier in Ukraine.) In her acceptance speech for the Leipzig Book Award for European Understanding in April 2023, the Russian author Maria Stepanova, who currently lives in Berlin, said: ›Are we condemned to keep reliving the twentieth century with its prisons, concentration camps and propaganda machines, its trench warfare and area bombardments? What can we do when the fabric of language, its texture, suddenly becomes transparent, revealing all the hidden layers of latent and overt violence percolating to the surface?‹

"Ein wahres Bücherfest wartet auf das Publikum, auf die Rezensenten aber ein hartes Stück Arbeit - und mancher von ihnen reist in diesem Sommer mit schweren Fahnen im Gepäck", schrieb Volker Ullrich in einer Vorschau auf die Verlagsprogramme für den Herbst 2003 (DIE ZEIT, 24.7.2003). Dabei verwies er unter anderem auf Band 4 von Hans-Ulrich Wehlers "Deutscher Gesellschaftsgeschichte". Auf dieses Buch durfte man in der Tat gespannt sein, und so hat die Redaktion der "Zeithistorischen Forschungen" gleich mehreren Rezensenten schweres Gepäck aufgebürdet. Richard J. Evans hat Wehlers Gesamtprojekt der "Deutschen Gesellschaftsgeschichte" mit ,einem majestätischen Ozeanriesen" verglichen (Frankfurter Rundschau, 8.10.2003).
