SOLOMON, JR. The author is a Ph.D. candidate at the Russian Institute of Columbia University. His selected bibliography of Soviet criminology was prepared during his study at the Institute of Criminology of the University of Cambridge. Professor Leon Radzinowicz, the Institute's director, recently issued it in mimeograph form for general distribution in England. The bibliography is published here because of its recognized quality and its usefulness to both the occasional as well as the serious student of Soviet criminology.

  • Soviets in the Countryside: the MST’S Remaking of Socialist Educational Practices in Brazil
    Chapter 4 Soviets in the Countryside: The MST’s Remaking of Socialist Educational Practices in Brazil Rebecca Tarlau Once the revolution happens in the schools, people can make the revolution in the streets, however this link is not always necessary. In China, in Cuba, in Russia, without going through the schools, people were able to create a revolution in the streets. But, in a country like Brazil it is necessary to create a minimum general critical consciousness, a universal citizenship and a collective desire for radical change in order to achieve the utopia of constructing a new society that either becomes a reformed socialism or a revolutionary socialism. I prefer the latter alternative. —Florestan Fernandes (Brazilian sociologist), quoted on the fi rst page of an MST publica tion, Principles of education in the MST (MST 1999 ) Three hundred people pushed to fi t into a majestic room, located in the House of Culture in the town center of the city of Veranópolis.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

Stalin’s death removed the climate of fear and caution that had hitherto characterised Soviet journalism, and allowed for many values to be debated and renegotiated.

  • Brezhnev's War on Crime: the Criminal in Soviet Society, 1963-1984
    Brezhnev's War on Crime: The Criminal in Soviet Society, 1963-1984 By Rhiannon Lee Dowling A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Victoria Frede, co-chair Professor Yuri Slezkine, co-chair Professor Eric Naiman Spring 2017 Abstract Brezhnev's War on Crime: The Criminal in Soviet Society, 1963-1984 by Rhiannon Lee Dowling Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Victoria Frede, Co-chair Professor Yuri Slezkine, Co-chair One of the most important questions concerning Soviet history is: how did the period widely known as the era of “stagnation” lead to the very opposite of stagnation, indeed to the most sudden and cataclysmic changes in the region since the Russian Revolution? Was the Brezhnev era (1964-1982) simply the calm before the storm, or was it in fact the culmination of a tempest that had been brewing for decades? I argue that it was during “stagnation,” when many citizens learned to articulate their frustrations with Soviet society and formulate demands and solutions. Those solutions drew heavily from images, ideas and promises made by agents of the Soviet state. By taking a closer look at the Brezhnev era, we can see that it was in fact the legitimacy of the state's claims, and the seriousness with which people took them in this period, that actually helped to precipitate its downfall. Nothing brings this to light better than a focus on crime.

  • The Memorial Center for the History of Political Repression “Perm-36” Ekaterina Abzalova, International Relations Coordinator
    The Memorial Center for the History of Political Repression “Perm-36” Ekaterina Abzalova, International Relations Coordinator The Gulag Museum at Perm-36at resides in the former corrective labor camp number 6 and is located 120 km far from Perm. This is the eastern European part of Russia. The left hill slope of the Ural Mountains. I am going to tell you about the history of a camp, then I will give an insight into how the Gulag Museum at Perm-36 was created, after that I will move to the main lines of our activities and the challenges that founders faced at the moment of the Gulag Museum at Perm-36creation, and will finish with the latest projects and perspectives. You know perfectly well what the Gulag is. But I would like to touch upon this subject, to show the context in which the Gulag Museum at Perm-36 operates. Gulag - an acronym for the term "Chief Administration of Corrective Labor Camps and Colonies (the Gulag)." This is a huge camp system, which was created primarily as a political tool of mass terror, repression, and only afterwards, at the beginning of 30s was used for economic purposes. Here you see a map of the Gulag. Gulag system comprised 53 camp administrations (command camps). Camp administration, as a rule, incorporated a number of camp divisions, camp points and other smaller locations (the number of them ranged from a few to hundreds). One camp division imprisoned from 5 to 25 thousand people, and camp point up to 5000 people. This is what Solzhenitsyn called the Gulag Archipelago.
