  • Ideological and Real Socialism of My Soviet Childhood, Schooling, and Teaching: Multi-Consciousness1
    ISSN: 2325-3290 (online) Ideological and real socialism of my Soviet childhood, schooling, and teaching: Multi-consciousness1 Eugene Matusov University of Delaware, USA Abstract Through my autobiographical reflective ethnography of my Soviet childhood, schooling and teaching, I try to investigate the phenomenon of political multiple consciousness that I observed in the USSR and its development in children. In my analysis, I abstracted eight diverse types of consciousness, five of which are political in their nature. Eugene Matusov is a Professor of Education at the University of Delaware. He studied developmental psychology with Soviet researchers working in the Vygotskian paradigm and worked as a schoolteacher before immigrating to the United States. He uses sociocultural and Bakhtinian dialogic approaches to education. His recent books are: Matusov, E. (2017). Nikolai N. Konstantinov’s authorial math pedagogy for people with wings, Matusov, E. & Brobst, J. (2013). Radical experiment in dialogic pedagogy in higher education and its Centauric failure: Chronotopic analysis, and Matusov, E. (2009). Journey into dialogic pedagogy. Introduction Famous Soviet comedian Mikhail Zhvanetsky commented in one of his 1970s monologue that it was very difficult to learn what exactly a Soviet person thought on any issue. He suspected that the answer could be given only through a physiological examination of the person’s body, “A person who says ‘yes’ undergoes a careful examination to check if behind this ‘yes’ is lurking hidden ‘no’. The exact answer can be achieved only by a urine test, which is very difficult to obtain from the person” (Zhvanetsky, 2001, p. 175, translation from Russian is mine). For the purpose of this investigation, I define a type of political consciousness heuristically as somewhat consistent subjectivity.

(Edith Segal, “Thirty Years: A Ballad for Morton Sobell”, 1959) Introduction This article investigates, for the first time, two decades of political activism by one woman, Helen Sobell. Using previously untapped archives, it reveals how she waged a relentless struggle on behalf of her husband, Morton Sobell. She guaranteed that he did not “languish here forgotten”. Sobell was sentenced in 1951 to thirty years imprisonment after being convicted with Julius and Ethel Rosenberg of conspiracy to commit espionage. This is a story, in part, about how their relationship unfolded through four prisons, eight Supreme Court appeals2 and nearly nineteen years of incarceration. It is also a story of harassment from the state, to which her FBI files abundantly attest. Ultimately, it is a story of political mobilization, stretching from the United States to Europe.

  • Manhattan Project Spies and Oak Ridge, Part 4 (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on December 29, 2014)
    Manhattan Project Spies and Oak Ridge, Part 4 (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on December 29, 2014) Continuing with the fourth and final installment of the Historically Speaking series on Manhattan Project Spies with connections to Oak Ridge, we now examine Al Slack, according to Dr. John Googin’s autobiography, Al Slack was a shift supervisor at Y-12 during the Manhattan Project. Alfred Dean Slack was born in 1906. He worked at the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, NY, where he first sold commercial information first to Richard Briggs, thinking it was going to a competitor of Kodak, but learned it was actually going to the Soviet Union. Later after Briggs sudden death, Slack was handed off by Soviet agents to Harry Gold who became the courier to provide the information to the Soviet Union. Harry Gold (December 11, 1911 - August 28, 1972) was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Russian Jewish immigrants. By 1940, Gold was a recruited Soviet agent assigned the codename GUS, or GOOSE. As often happens with Historically Speaking, these articles on spies in Oak Ridge have produced several contacts with people who have additional information. I received a contact from Mike Finn concerning Al Slack. Mike said, “I have a personal connection. My family has had a farm in Webster, NY (just outside Rochester) for over a century. From time to time I heard stories about the spy who lived next door in the late 1930’s, early 40’s, and who moved to Oak Ridge. They mentioned the name of Harry Gold.” Mike continued, “I was a bit skeptical and wanted to know more.

  • Robert Meeropol Was Only Six Years Old When His Parents, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Were Executed for Espionage
    Robert Meeropol was only six years old when his parents, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, were executed for espionage. Now Meeropol is fighting to exonerate his mother while continuing to build his life’s work — an organization that provides support for the children of targeted activists. by BRIAN SHORT 30 LSA Magazine / SPRING 2016 PHOTO Space arrow minimum 8 to 9 picas from end of text. align with an element SPRING 2016 / LSA Magazine 31 all have moments in our lives when Weeverything in the world seems to stop. The wind drops. The clouds slow their crawl across the sky. Something deep is happening inside of us, some unseen reshaping whose eventual consequences we can feel but not see. For Robert Meeropol (A.B. ’69, M.A. ’70, C.A. ’72), one of those moments occurred during the fall of 1986. Meeropol had recently finished a yearlong clerkship, and he was preparing to start his new position as an attorney at a local law firm. He delayed the start of his job to be with his family, and he took one day — September 10 — to spend alone before his new career officially began. Meeropol found a secluded field in the Green Mountains of Vermont and ate his sandwich among the asters and goldenrod. Sitting there, Meeropol had a deep feeling of being at peace with the world, but not with the job he was about to start. The moment is described two-thirds of the way through Meeropol’s memoir An Execution in the Family. It is a rare moment of rest in a life of tragedy, tumult, movement, and action, a life whose story began at the dawn of the atomic age.
