The ceremony was held in the National Gallery of Art Cafe. A plaque, which was affixed to the building exterior, and four certificates of achievement of excellence in historic preservation, are awarded. October 2013 Office of Facilities Engineering and Operations October 2013 Arts and Industries Building Revitalization Phase 1 - Shell Mission/Scope: On May 5, 2008, the Board of Regents decided not to pursue a public private partnership and to seek other resources in order to fund the revitalization of the Arts & Industries Building. The project will comprise three phases: the Shell, the Interior, and the Program. While the program is being developed, work on the Shell has moved forward –the replacement of the roof exceeding 10,000 M2 and more than 800 windows and structural improvements to address snow, wind, seismic and blast loads is under construction. The cost of the Shell improvements is approximately $50M. The 2009 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act funded $5.1M of additional masonry repairs and interior demolition and hazmat removal. The balance of the work is funded with Facilities Capital; earmarked federal Legacy funds; and Trust funds in support of the design, construction, and program.

I am fortunate enough have a background and live in a place where my voice can be heard without much opposition, but this thesis could not have been completed without the immeasurable support I received from a variety of individuals and groups.

  • From Proletarian Internationalism to Populist
    from proletarian internationalism to populist russocentrism: thinking about ideology in the 1930s as more than just a ‘Great Retreat’ David Brandenberger (Harvard/Yale) • [email protected] The most characteristic aspect of the newly-forming ideology... is the downgrading of socialist elements within it. This doesn’t mean that socialist phraseology has disappeared or is disappearing. Not at all. The majority of all slogans still contain this socialist element, but it no longer carries its previous ideological weight, the socialist element having ceased to play a dynamic role in the new slogans.... Props from the historic past – the people, ethnicity, the motherland, the nation and patriotism – play a large role in the new ideology. –Vera Aleksandrova, 19371 The shift away from revolutionary proletarian internationalism toward russocentrism in interwar Soviet ideology has long been a source of scholarly controversy. Starting with Nicholas Timasheff in 1946, some have linked this phenomenon to nationalist sympathies within the party hierarchy,2 while others have attributed it to eroding prospects for world This article builds upon pieces published in Left History and presented at the Midwest Russian History Workshop during the past year. My eagerness to further test, refine and nuance this reading of Soviet ideological trends during the 1930s stems from the fact that two book projects underway at the present time pivot on the thesis advanced in the pages that follow. I’m very grateful to the participants of the “Imagining Russia” conference for their indulgence. 1 The last line in Russian reads: “Bol’shuiu rol’ v novoi ideologii igraiut rekvizity istoricheskogo proshlogo: narod, narodnost’, rodina, natsiia, patriotizm.” V.
