  • Building Cold War Warriors: Socialization of the Final Cold War Generation
    BUILDING COLD WAR WARRIORS: SOCIALIZATION OF THE FINAL COLD WAR GENERATION Steven Robert Bellavia A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2018 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Karen B. Guzzo Graduate Faculty Representative Benjamin P. Greene Rebecca J. Mancuso © 2018 Steven Robert Bellavia All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew Schocket, Advisor This dissertation examines the experiences of the final Cold War generation. I define this cohort as a subset of Generation X born between 1965 and 1971. The primary focus of this dissertation is to study the ways this cohort interacted with the three messages found embedded within the Cold War us vs. them binary. These messages included an emphasis on American exceptionalism, a manufactured and heightened fear of World War III, as well as the othering of the Soviet Union and its people. I begin the dissertation in the 1970s, - during the period of détente- where I examine the cohort’s experiences in elementary school. There they learned who was important within the American mythos and the rituals associated with being an American. This is followed by an examination of 1976’s bicentennial celebration, which focuses on not only the planning for the celebration but also specific events designed to fulfill the two prime directives of the celebration. As the 1980s came around not only did the Cold War change but also the cohort entered high school. Within this stage of this cohorts education, where I focus on the textbooks used by the cohort and the ways these textbooks reinforced notions of patriotism and being an American citizen.

  • The Impact of Free Media on Regime Change: Evidence from Russia
    The Impact of Free Media on Regime Change: Evidence from Russia Javier Garcia-Arenas∗ January 17, 2016 Abstract Can free media become a powerful lever to make regime change possible? Are Western countries successful in exporting their values to other countries and triggering regime change abroad? I study these questions in the context of Russia in the early 90s when the Soviet Union was crumbling. In particular, I analyze the impact of Radio Liberty on the 1991 Russian presidential elections, which were the first democratic elec- tions in the country. In order to study the effects of this American radio broadcasting from outside Russia, I use a novel empirical strategy exploiting ionospheric variation, which affects shortwave propagation over long distances, measured by NASA with the aim of obtaining a measure of radio availability in each Russian electoral district. The results show a significant effect of these broadcasts in favor of Yeltsin and a negative significant effect on communist support. Such results are robust and bolstered by a series of placebo exercises, and survey evidence. Thus, this paper documents that free media can play an important role in political processes of regime change. Keywords: Regime change, free media, communism, ionosphere. ∗Department of Economics, MIT. Email: [email protected]. I am hugely indebted to Daron Acemoglu, Ben Olken, and Esther Duflo for splendid and inspiring advice, guidance, and encouragement through all the stages of this project. Many thanks also to Thomas Fujiwara for great comments and support. Cory Smith provided invaluable help on the coding. Thanks also to Anatol Shmelev, Carol Leadenham, Lisa Miller, and all the workers of the Hoover Archives for their support and hospitality.

  • Yakov Smirnoff Bio Yakov Smirnoff Is a Legend in American Comedy. After Escaping Communist Soviet Russia in the 1970'S, He
    Yakov Smirnoff Bio Yakov Smirnoff is a legend in American comedy. After escaping communist Soviet Russia in the 1970’s, he came to this country with nothing but a dream. Not even knowing the language, Yakov humbly began working as a bartender at the famous Grossinger’s Catskill Resort in New York, where he was able to tell jokes each night after his shifts. As his English improved, he quickly grew in popularity. He would then make the move to Los Angeles where the owner of The Comedy Store, Mitzi Shore, took him under her wing. His lovable view of life through the eyes of a poor immigrant captured the hearts of America. He soared to the top of the comedy world performing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and countless other television programs, including as a regular character on Night Court and the ​ star of his very own show, named after his famous catch-phrase, “What a Country!” He ​ branched out to the big screen where he starred in movies with Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, and Jack Nicholson to name a few. Still, one of his favorite achievements is obtaining his American citizenship in front of the Statue of Liberty in 1986. From his humble beginnings as a poor immigrant to living the American dream, Yakov has even performed for four U.S. Presidents and has been the main event for the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Yakov Smirnoff is a legendary comedian, a movie star, a best-selling author, and most recently, he has earned a doctorate degree from Pepperdine’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology.

  • 1 Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era
    Life Between Two Panels Soviet Nonconformism in the Cold War Era DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Clinton J. Buhler, M.A. Graduate Program in History of Art * * * * * The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Myroslava M. Mudrak, Advisor Dr. Kris Paulsen Dr. Jessie Labov Dr. Aron Vinegar 1 Copyright by Clinton J. Buhler 2013 2 Abstract Beneath the façade of total conformity in the Soviet Union, a dynamic underground community of artists and intellectuals worked in forced isolation. Rejecting the mandates of state-sanctioned Socialist Realist art, these dissident artists pursued diverse creative directions in their private practice. When they attempted to display their work publicly in 1974, the carefully crafted façade of Soviet society cracked, and the West became aware of a politically subversive undercurrent in Soviet cultural life. Responding to the international condemnation of the censorship, Soviet officials allowed and encouraged the emigration of the nonconformist artists to the West. This dissertation analyzes the foundation and growth of the nonconformist artistic movement in the Soviet Union, focusing on a key group of artists who reached artistic maturity in the Brezhnev era and began forging connections in the West. The first two chapters of the dissertation center on works that were, by and large, produced before emigration to the West. In particular, I explore the growing awareness of artists like Oleg Vassiliev of their native artistic heritage, especially the work of Russian avant-garde artists like Kazimir Malevich. I look at how Vassiliev, in a search for an alternative form of expression to the mandated form of art, took up the legacy of nineteenth-century Realism, avant-garde abstraction, and Socialist Realism.
