THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE USSR By the Hispano-Soviet Friendship Association BIENVENIDO ! We are accustomed to hear, see and read a lot of criticism and lies about what happened in the USSR. I remember reading in the Soviet Union there was no freedom of worship, there was no progress, that people were dying of hunger, were living in fear, it was a dictatorship, that Joseph Stalin was a dictator. They were only lies and more lies about the reality that existed in the USSR. In this article, I will discuss the achievements of the Soviet Union and I will show you a reality that the bourgeois media conceal. I will speak first of what I believe was the greatest success not only of socialism, but also of humanity: the Soviet Union was the first country in world history to have completely eliminated hunger, an achievement that countries as "developed" as the United States have never reached. This shows the high efficiency that the socialist system reached at that time. In addition to eradicating hunger, the Soviet Union had been at the forefront of the global campaign for the eradication of smallpox and the establishment of networks of water, electricity, heating and transport almost free. The Soviet Union was the first country to have an entirely literate population. The Soviet education system guaranteed public education, universal, free and compulsory collectivism. The work done by the pioneers (Young Communists) was to bring people together in groups and to provide training collective (not individual) to that person who was behind in school. In addition, training plays an important role, that of forging a new man, with a socialist morality. The USSR was the first country to establish the University of evening allowing workers to study. It is not by chance that the Soviet Union was the country where were sold as many books in the world, exceeded that of all books sold in the country then. The socialist system allowed to create a society of educated people, educated in the arts and sciences, aware of their importance as members of a society of interdependence. It is interesting to note that within the population, which had increased by 15 percent, the number of technicians has been multiplied by 55. Free sports were one of the pillars of child development. The interest in music was widespread, and almost the entire population could play an instrument. Children's education was entirely free of negative influences, and television showed only educational programs of all kinds and in all forms, including cartoons. It avoided programming topics mediocrity and is not intended to raise the general level, which brutalize people. The socialist system also ensured public health, universal and free, ensuring that the life expectancy had reached the Soviet one of the highest levels in the world. The USSR was the first country where women were not only entitled to a free labor but also a painless childbirth. The first organ transplants were also developed by the glorious Soviet scientists. Under Stalin, for the first time in history, the woman had obtained the same rights as men, including access to education, employment, political participation, as well as pay equity, which still does not exist in the capitalist countries. Soviet physicians have developed treatments based bacteriophage 4 viruses against infectious diseases. Bacteria kill humans, but bacteriophages destroy bacteria. Today, bacteriophages can be the solution to the growing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics. In the USSR, life expectancy had doubled and infant mortality had been reduced to one-ninth. In 1972, the number of doctors was increased from 135,000 to 484,000, and the number of hospital beds from 791,000 to 2,224,000. The socialist system has made great strides to create a large multinational state free of major conflicts, ethnic, cultural or religious, that characterize capitalist countries.

    Russia's Europe, 1991–2016

    Russia’s Europe, 1991–2016: inferiority to superiority IVER B. NEUMANN* As the Soviet Union fell apart, Russia opted for a foreign policy of coopera- tion with Europe and the West. The following 25 years saw an about-turn from cooperation to conflict. In 2014, having occupied the Crimean peninsula, it aided and abetted an insurgency against the central authorities in neighbouring Ukraine. In 2015, it left the Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe and began a military buildup along its entire western border. In 2016, it came to the aid of its ally Syria in a way that brought it directly into conflict with western powers. There are a number of ways of accounting for such sea-changes in foreign policy. Some studies set out to explain Russia’s foreign policy by analysing the country’s place in the international system, most often in geopolitical terms.1 Clearly, one reason for Russia’s about-turn is the state’s difficulty in dealing with the downsiz- ing in territory and resources that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the more marginalized place within the state system in which Russia found itself as a result. Other studies aim to demonstrate how Russian foreign policy is deter- mined by structural domestic changes such as bureaucratic in-fighting, the motives of political leaders and so on.2 Such factors are always important in understanding how specific foreign policy decisions come about. A third literature traces the influ- ence of ideas.3 Given that actions depend on how people think about the world, * I thank Amanda Cellini, Minda Holm and Sophie Meislin for assistance and my reviewers for comments.

    ‘Influencing Upwards’: A Phenomenological Study of “Effective Followership” in the UK HE Sector Darren Paul Cunningham Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2019 Lancaster University Management School Acknowledgements Thanks must go to Lancaster University’s Management School. In particular, I would like to express my personal gratitude to Professor David Collinson, Dr David Simm, and Dr Dermot O'Reilly who have afforded me their extensive experience, knowledge and patience. In the build-up to submitting this thesis, their contributions were invaluable. Sincere thanks extend to Jean Blanquet, in the University’s Library. Her assistance was instrumental, especially where some of the more rarely available or hard to find reading materials contributed significantly to the completeness of the literature review. Similarly, a debt of gratitude is afforded to Joan Paterson, whose skills in touch- typing helped tremendously. She so expertly transformed data from many digitally recorded interviews into written transcripts ready for analysis. Also, thanks are owed to my dear friend and fellow part-time PhD student Paul Robbins, who as I recall we met in the University’s car park on day one and stayed friends ever since. Paul was a great support throughout this incredible journey, and his wonderful sense of humour and the Indian meals we shared in the Bombay Balti in Lancaster will forever be fondly remembered. Thanks are also due to my family who have been there to support me. Firstly, my late father who has been an inspiration to me all of my life, so I dedicate my many years of academic endeavour to him.

My departure point is the idea that the Soviet experiment was about the creation not only of a new socio-economic system, but also of a New Man. According to the logic of Soviet socialism, it was the New Man who would usher in the new socio-economic order by living out philosophical ideas in his everyday life. Under Khrushchev, Russian writers bestowed the New Man with even more power to build Communism. Stalin, the superhuman engine of historical progress, had died, giving ordinary citizens more agency, according to the contemporary discourse, to shape the future and overcome the consequences of his cult of personality. A new emphasis was placed on sincerity and the individual; and not only on fashioning the future, but also on understanding the details of the past and present. Among writers, a new importance was allotted to the diary, which was conceptualized as a space of sincerity, and as a genre that helped one grasp the facts of everyday existence and pen realistic representations of Soviet life.
  • Leaderism’: an Evolution of Managerialism in Uk Public Service Reform

    Leaderism’: an Evolution of Managerialism in Uk Public Service Reform

    doi: 10.1111/j.1467-9299.2010.01864.x ‘LEADERISM’: AN EVOLUTION OF MANAGERIALISM IN UK PUBLIC SERVICE REFORM DERMOT O’REILLY AND MIKE REED This paper argues that ‘leaderism’ – as an emerging set of beliefs that frames and justifies certain innovatory changes in contemporary organizational and managerial practice – is a development of managerialism that has been utilized and applied within the policy discourse of public service reform in the UK. The paper suggests that ‘leaderism’ is an evolution of entrepreneurial and cultural management ideologies and practices. An analysis of the articulation of leaderism with public service reform in the UK is presented. The paper problematizes the construals of leadership contained within these texts and reflects on their promotion of leadership as a social and organizational technology. ‘Leaderism’ is argued to be a complementary set of discourses, metaphors and practices to those of managerialism, which is being utilized in support of the evolution of NPM and new public governance approaches in the re-orientation of the public services towards the consumer-citizen. INTRODUCTION The central argument developed in the course of this paper is that ‘leaderism’ – as an emerging set of beliefs that frames and justifies certain innovatory changes in contem- porary organizational and managerial practice - is a development of managerialism and that it has been applied and utilized within the policy discourse of public service reform in the UK as part of the hybridization and evolution of NPM and new public governance practices in the public services. The paper substantiates this argument by undertaking an extensive and in-depth analysis of ‘leaderism’ – as both a set of emergent discourses about leadership and as a set of framing metaphors encapsulating ideas of the process of ‘leading change’ in the public services – through a quantitative lexical analysis and a qualitative critical discourse analysis of a corpus of UK central, health and education government texts from the 12-year period from 1997 to 2008 inclusive.

Traven, In The Freest State In The World, 1919, Insomniac Edition, Paris 1995. 1 In the Golden Age of ‘actually non-existing socialism’ journeys were organised to the countries of the radiant future. Believers were then invited to express their enthusiasm for a reality staged by the lords of the manor. In this way people visited the soviet socialism of the USSR, the Maoist socialism of China, the miniature social- ism of Albania, the bearded socialism of Cuba, the Sandinista so- cialism of Nicaragua, etc. Woe betide those who contested the ob- jective, scientific and unquestionable character of these fabricated realities. Until the day these systems collapsed. People thought they had seen but had seen nothing! Were lessons drawn from this? It would seem not! With a smile slung over their shoulder, people to- day again go off “to do revolutionary Chiapas” in convoys organist 1 Translators’ Note (T.N.): This is a translation from the French version. The English-language version, published in ‘The Kidnapped Saint and other stories’, reads: “Such speedy enthusiasms and speedily acquired convictions are seldom the salt to be used as seasoning in cases like these.” We prefer the above. The text continues: “The real need is not to persuade the great masses, to whip them up to flaming enthusiasm, to move them to adopt a resolution.

That starting date is relevant: I was in Tanzania when Julius Nyerere stepped down voluntarily as President of Tanzania and handed the State House over to his successor, Ali Hassan Mwinyi. The new President promptly signed an agreement with the International Monetary Fund, thus terminating two decades of Ujamaa in his country and turning Tanzania into a free-market economy and, eventually, a nominal multiparty democracy.
