Evtushenko made an important contribution to Khrushchev's de­ Stalinization campaign with his poem Nasledniki Stalina, Pravda (21 October 1962), published with Khrushchev's personal permission. In the Brezhnev era, Evtushenko resorted to safer themes in order to re­ gain his former privileges, a stance which earned him the scathing epi­ thet of 'party poet' from Russian dissidents in the 1970s. This remark was made to me in 1974 by a religious dissident, Alexander Ogorodnikov, and was the general view in the dissident circle around the Russian nationalist journal Veche. Western critics also expressed a similar view: Ronald Hingley, in Russian Writers and Soviet Society (London, 1979), p. 233 calls Evtushenko a 'licensed liberal'. 21. On Karpov, see N. Condee and V.

Urushadze (Tbilisi, Georgia) ISBN 99940-0-539-1 The Democratic Republic of Georgia (DRG. “Sakartvelos Demokratiuli Respublika” in Georgian) was the first modern establishment of a Republic of Georgia in 1918 - 1921. The DRG was established after the collapse of the Russian Tsarist Empire that began with the Russian Revolution of 1917. Its established borders were with Russia in the north, and the Mountainous Republic of the Northern Caucasus, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan in the south. It had a total land area of roughly 107,600 km2 (by comparison, the total area of today's Georgia is 69,700 km2), and a population of 2.5 million. As today, its capital was Tbilisi and its state language - Georgian.

Chapman, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2013 The social structure of the queue, from its most basic forms as a spontaneous group of people on the street, to the ordered lists of status-based priorities within society, leads to rich discussions on consumption, the behavior of crowds, and everyday life within Soviet society. By viewing how practices such as queuing were encoded in Soviet culture, the dissertation theorizes how everyday life was based on discourses of scarcity and abundance. I contend in my second chapter that second-world modernity was not predicated on the speed and calculation usually associated with modern life.

CONTRACTS IN CONFLICT: PERESTROIKA AND THE DECLINE OF SOVIET LEGITIMACY Karl Glenn Hokenmaier, M.A. Western Michigan University, 1993 Gorbachev’s perception of the Soviet Union’s socio-economic crisis and his subsequent actions to correct the economy and reform the political system were linked with attempts to renegotiate the social contract between the state and the Soviet people. However, reformulation of the social contract was incompatible with the conditions of a second arrangement between the leadership and the nomenklatura-the Soviet ruling class.
