FOSTER TAUNTON, ENGLAND, ·is famous for Bloody Judge Jeffrey, who hanged 134 people and banished 400 in 1685. Some home­ sick exiles landed on the barren coast of New England, where a namesake city was born. Taunton, Mass., has a nobler history. In 1776 it was the first place in the country where a revolutionary flag was Bown, "The red flag of Taunton that flies o'er the green," as recorded by a local poet. A century later, in 1881, in this city a child was born to a poor Irish immigrant family named Foster, who were exiles from their impoverished and enslaved homeland to New England.

  • 19Th Presidium of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union March 5Th
    19th Presidium of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union March 5th, 1953 Honorable Comrades members of the Soviet Presidium, It is with the deepest regret that I announce you the death of our beloved Comrade and Leader Joseph Stalin. At the age of 74, our Comrade Stalin was found dead in the Kuntsevo Dacha after suffering a stroke. With his departure, our Union mourns for the loss of the greatest of our men, however we must act quickly and consistently as the governing body over the nation. We have several tasks that we must tackle to ensure the continuity of our great nation among which the most important one is establishing a legitimate successor that will consolidate the power of the Union and advance our principles throughout the globe. We must also organize the funeral for the farewell of our great compatriot and address the current situation of fear that our citizens live in. Remember, Stalin had his reasons for the spread of fear, however is upon you to decide the course of the Union’s domestic and foreign policy from this day on. Comrades, remember that history is for you to write in the next session of our Presidium. Best of luck, Dietwin Smoli Chairman of the Historical Crisis Committee Background of the Presidium: The Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was the highest policy-making government authority of the Soviet Union. It was formally established in October 1917, and refounded in March 1919, at the 8th Congress of the Bolshevik Party. It was known as the Presidium from 1952 to 1966.

  • From the Tito-Stalin Split to Yugoslavia's Finnish Connection: Neutralism Before Non-Alignment, 1948-1958
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE TITO-STALIN SPLIT TO YUGOSLAVIA'S FINNISH CONNECTION: NEUTRALISM BEFORE NON-ALIGNMENT, 1948-1958. Rinna Elina Kullaa, Doctor of Philosophy 2008 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe Department of History After the Second World War the European continent stood divided between two clearly defined and competing systems of government, economic and social progress. Historians have repeatedly analyzed the formation of the Soviet bloc in the east, the subsequent superpower confrontation, and the resulting rise of Euro-Atlantic interconnection in the west. This dissertation provides a new view of how two borderlands steered clear of absorption into the Soviet bloc. It addresses the foreign relations of Yugoslavia and Finland with the Soviet Union and with each other between 1948 and 1958. Narrated here are their separate yet comparable and, to some extent, coordinated contests with the Soviet Union. Ending the presumed partnership with the Soviet Union, the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 launched Yugoslavia on a search for an alternative foreign policy, one that previously began before the split and helped to provoke it. After the split that search turned to avoiding violent conflict with the Soviet Union while creating alternative international partnerships to help the Communist state to survive in difficult postwar conditions. Finnish-Soviet relations between 1944 and 1948 showed the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry that in order to avoid invasion, it would have to demonstrate a commitment to minimizing security risks to the Soviet Union along its European political border and to not interfering in the Soviet domination of domestic politics elsewhere in Eastern Europe.

  • Review Article: Mao's Soviet Policies John W. Garver
    Review Article: Mao’s Soviet Policies John W. Garver Shi nian lunzhan, 1956–1966, Zhong Su guanxi huiyilu (Ten-Year War of Words, 1956–1966, a Memoir of Sino-Soviet Relations). By WU LENGXI. [Beijing: Zhongyang wenxian chubanshe, 1999. Two vol- umes. 940 pp.] This is the most detailed account to date of Chinese decision-making during the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations from 1956 to 1966. Wu Lengxi was head of Xinhua news agency from 1952 to 1966 and general editor of Renmin ribao from 1957 to the start of the Cultural Revolution. Wu joined the Party in 1938 at the age of 19, and attended Yennan’s anti-Japan resistance university before being assigned to propaganda and then news work.1 He was also the CCP’s designated record-keeper on Sino-Soviet relations during the crucial decade between the 20th Con- gress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) in 1956 and the final collapse of Sino-Soviet relations in 1965. In his capacity as record-keeper, Wu personally attended most of the international and CCP Politburo meetings involved in Sino-Soviet relations during this crucial period. He was one of only a few people (and perhaps the only person) authorized to take notes at these meetings. When meetings were con- vened which he did not attend, or delegations of which he had not been a part returned from abroad, he was allowed to debrief the CCP leaders who had participated in those delegations or read reports of the proceed- ings. Wu thus offers a virtually meeting-by-meeting account of Chinese decision-making, often listing the participants of those meetings and reprising decisions reached.

  • Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers
    Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Harsha Ram, Chair Professor Irina Paperno Professor Yuri Slezkine Fall 2010 ABSTRACT Between Moscow and Baku: National Literatures at the 1934 Congress of Soviet Writers by Kathryn Douglas Schild Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Harsha Ram, Chair The breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 reminded many that “Soviet” and “Russian” were not synonymous, but this distinction continues to be overlooked when discussing Soviet literature. Like the Soviet Union, Soviet literature was a consciously multinational, multiethnic project. This dissertation approaches Soviet literature in its broadest sense – as a cultural field incorporating texts, institutions, theories, and practices such as writing, editing, reading, canonization, education, performance, and translation. It uses archival materials to analyze how Soviet literary institutions combined Russia’s literary heritage, the doctrine of socialist realism, and nationalities policy to conceptualize the national literatures, a term used to define the literatures of the non-Russian peripheries. It then explores how such conceptions functioned in practice in the early 1930s, in both Moscow and Baku, the capital of Soviet Azerbaijan. Although the debates over national literatures started well before the Revolution, this study focuses on 1932-34 as the period when they crystallized under the leadership of the Union of Soviet Writers.

  • Neutralizing Indochina the 1954 Geneva Conference and China's
    Neutralizing Indochina The 1954 Geneva Conference and China’s Efforts to Isolate the United States ✣ Tao Wang The Geneva Conference from April to July 1954 ended the war between France and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV), which to a great extent was a proxy war between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the United States. As active participants in the Indochina War, both China and the United States played significant roles in the conference, which led to the Geneva Agreements on Indochina. Yet few works have analyzed the conference from the perspective of U.S.-Chinese relations. Based on declassified documents and memoirs from the PRC, Russia, and Vietnam, as well as sources from the United States and Great Britain, this ar- ticle interprets China’s actions at the Geneva talks in relation to the United States from a multilateral perspective. The article places China’s diplomacy in the broader context of Chinese relations with Western countries and explains the PRC’s policy in the context of its relations with its Communist allies, the Soviet Union and the DRV. The article elucidates Chinese leaders’ goals in Geneva, the tactics they adopted there to realize their objectives, the percep- tions among Chinese officials of U.S. policy toward the conference, and the impact all of this had on Chinese policymaking. The article shows that the PRC aimed to neutralize Indochina to forestall direct U.S. intervention there, which would endanger China’s southwestern flank. Chinese leaders sought to exploit the differences between the United States and its allies the United Kingdom and France, to pressure U.S.
