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.

This volume investigates how the political transformations of the early twentieth century and the technological ones from the turn of the twenty-first impacted the tastes, habits, and reading practices of the Russian public.

I argue that average Soviet citizens’ view of America was primarily informed by, and closely followed that of official propaganda. Deprived of any coherent information about America, Soviet citizens fell back on pre-World War II and even pre-Revolutionary views of America as an incredibly rich yet socially unjust country dominated by an insatiable pursuit of money. While these views did not remain static they adjusted to social and political events--the changes remained on the outer layers and did not touch the foundations of ordinary Soviet people’s image of America.

    Journal of Modern Russian History and Historiography 3 (2010) 231–254 brill.nl/jmrh “Shestidesiatniki” Samuel C. Ramer Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA Abstract Zubok’s Zhivago’s Children examines the rebirth of the Russian intelligentsia during the decades following Stalin’s death. Zubok devotes particular attention to de-Stalinization and greater open- ness to the outside world that characterized the Khrushchev era. Leaders of the artistic as well as scientifi c intelligentsia sought to achieve a freer public life as well as greater autonomy and public infl uence for themselves. Th e Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968 brought hopes for such an emancipated public life to an end until the advent of Mikhail Gorbachev in the mid-1980s. Zubok argues that the intelligentsia advisers that Gorbachev brought to power contributed to the demise of the Soviet Union. Keywords Intelligentsia , Pasternak, generation of the sixties, Khrushchev, de-Stalinization, Twentieth Party Congress, Solzhenitsyn , dissent, Russian nationalism , Gorbachev, perestroika Vladislav Zubok, Zhivago’s Children: Th e Last Russian Intelligentsia .

Beginning in the mid-1980s, there was a relative decline in the output of Western scholarly literature on the Khrushchev and Brezhnev eras. No longer at the center of current events or grist for political scientists’ mills, they were not yet widely regarded as genuinely “historical” periods. Meanwhile, historians of the Soviet period were preoccupied with the Stalin era; political scientists, Sovietologists, and members of the educated public were transfi xed by the unfolding dramas of glasnost’ , perestroika , and the wrenching beginnings of the post-Soviet period.

Raleigh Louise McReynolds Beth Holmgren John Kasson Chad Bryant © 2010 Marko Dumanĉić ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MARKO DUMANĈIĆ: Rescripting Stalinist Masculinity: Contesting the Male Ideal in Soviet Film and Society, 1953-1968 (Under the direction of Dr. Donald J. Raleigh) This dissertation traces the evolution of a new type of cinematic masculinity in the fifteen years following Joseph Stalin‘s death and examines how controversial post-Stalinist movie heroes became a battleground for the country‘s postwar values and ideals. During the 1950s and 1960s, postwar Soviet leadership faced the kinds of sociopolitical ruptures that were also evident on the other side of the Iron Curtain; the Communist Party leadership struggled to moderate the combined destabilizing effect of consumerism, a recalcitrant youth (sub)culture, and Cold War anxieties. Nowhere was the angst of the postwar period more obvious than in the way Soviet filmmakers portrayed their movie heroes. Unlike their hard- bodied and zealous Stalinist counterparts, post-Stalinist protagonists conveyed physical imperfection and ideological ambivalence. Stalin‘s successor, Nikita Khrushchev initially promoted the turn to more realistic protagonists as part of his de-Stalinization campaign.

ABSTRACT This thesis addresses the subject of political dissent during the Khrushchev era. It examines the kinds of protest behaviours that individuals and groups engaged in and the way that the Soviet authorities responded to them. The findings show that dissenting activity was more frequent and more diverse during the Khrushchev period than has previously been supposed and that there were a number of significant continuities in the forms of dissent, and the authorities’ responses to these acts, across the eras of Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev. In the early Khrushchev years a large proportion of the political protest and criticism that took place remained essentially loyal to the regime and Marxist-Leninist in outlook, though this declined in later years as communist utopianism and respect for the ruling authorities seem to have significantly diminished.
