Kassof. Executive Director April 1980 INTRODUCTION The proper implement for dining with the Devil has always been thought to be along spoon.Translating that bit of folk wisdom into foreign policy, Americans have also generally accepted the idea that dealing with their enemies was best done at a distance. In particular, to- wards the. Soviets, the prevailing attitude has long been founded in George Eennanys 1946 advice to Charles Bohlen not to get "chummy" with them. .Translated into the terms of the SALT II debate of 1979, that point of view inevitably put treaty supporters on the defensive against charges that their position was rooted in some sort of "trust" of Moscow_And he who trusts, it is presumed, is a dupe in the making. Those perceptions or prejudices define the abiding political context in which U.S.-Soviet scholarly exchanges came into being and, passing now through very hard times, manage to continue. Inevitably, that bias has:been Shard one to shake. But in the real world, as the essays which follow demonstrate, it can often be helpful to dine with devils. :Experience shows, as the Soviets would say, that the bilateral menu, while heavier on lard than on caviar, generally prOves nutritious. Moreover and more obviously, while the Devil is dining with you, he is not dining on you, and you and he may even develop a certain under- standing of each other's tastes. Understanding.is,.in fact, the goal of the exchanges. Most important from the American point of view is to develop a firsthand knowledge . of Soviet ways, means and attitudes in as many spheres as possible. The expertise'the U.S. acquires on the Soviet Union, even from a student- of Slavonic liturgy., exists at least in potential to help us calCulate East-West policies. It is up to us to use that potential. ThoUgawe'often waste it, we would be truly wasteful to deny ourselves the-chance even to acquire it. Similarly, while we cannot quantify the impact on Soviet thinking of- exposure to our peculiarities, we must be confident enough of our -strengths to invite inspection of them even if, as some assert, it may be true that many Soviet scholars visiting under exchanges are primarily scientific vacuum cleaners. We should not expect to convert .them.:IttmveShonld-assume that in the gathering of the data they could.probably obtain: in other ways, they are taking in something more than just. our know-how.

    The Diary of Anatoly S. Chernyaev 1986 Donated by A.S. Chernyaev to The National Security Archive Translated by Anna Melyakova Edited by Svetlana Savranskaya http://www.nsarchive.org Translation © The National Security Archive, 2007 The Diary of Anatoly S. Chernyaev, 1986 http://www.nsarchive.org January 1st, 1986. At the department1 everyone wished each other to celebrate the New Year 1987 “in the same positions.” And it is true, at the last session of the CC (Central Committee) Secretariat on December 30th, five people were replaced: heads of CC departments, obkom [Oblast Committee] secretaries, heads of executive committees. The Politizdat2 director Belyaev was confirmed as editor of Soviet Culture. [Yegor] Ligachev3 addressed him as one would address a person, who is getting promoted and entrusted with a very crucial position. He said something like this: we hope that you will make the newspaper truly an organ of the Central Committee, that you won’t squander your time on petty matters, but will carry out state and party policies... In other words, culture and its most important control lever were entrusted to a Stalinist pain-in-the neck dullard. What is that supposed to mean? Menshikov’s case is also shocking to me. It is clear that he is a bastard in general. I was never favorably disposed to him; he was tacked on [to our team] without my approval. I had to treat him roughly to make sure no extraterritoriality and privileges were allowed in relation to other consultants, and even in relation to me (which could have been done through [Vadim] Zagladin,4 with whom they are dear friends).

  • Maddux on English, 'Russia and the Idea of the West: Gorbachev, Intellectuals, and the End of the Cold War'
    H-Russia Maddux on English, 'Russia and the Idea of the West: Gorbachev, Intellectuals, and the End of the Cold War' Review published on Friday, June 1, 2001 Robert D. English. Russia and the Idea of the West: Gorbachev, Intellectuals, and the End of the Cold War. New York: Columbia University Press, 2000. ix + 401 pp. $40.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-231-11059-4. Reviewed by Thomas R. Maddux (California State University, Northridge) Published on H-Russia (June, 2001) Origins of New Thinking: Ideas and Power Origins of New Thinking: Ideas and Power Robert English has made a significant and original contribution to our understanding of the origins of new thinking in the Soviet Union that came to fruition in the domestic and foreign policies of Mikhail Gorbachev. English has also broadened the focus of the historiography concerning the end of the Cold War by including the role of intellectual forces (represented by the new thinking) as a significant catalyst for the changes introduced by Gorbachev in his negotiations on international issues and his efforts to reform the Soviet political and economic systems. English initiated his study as a Ph.D. dissertation at Princeton University under the supervision of Robert Tucker and Stephen Cohen, basing his analysis on impressive and valuable sources, most notably Russian-language memoirs, documents, publications and some 400 interviews with over 100 Russian participants. Although a few of the memoirs have been translated into English, most remain inaccessible to any scholar without Russian language skills. The central thesis of English's study is that an understanding of Gorbachev's policies and the end of the Cold War requires an analysis of the emergence of a Soviet intellectual elite in the 1950s and the evolving ideas of this intelligentsia on Soviet domestic developments along with the relationship of the Soviet Union to its Western adversaries.

CEU eTD Collection ii Abstract The aim of this thesis is to offer a new perspective within the field of Soviet Subjectivity through the concept of the kollektiv proposed by Oleg Kharkhordin and applied to the case study of Soviet Secretary General‘s speechwriters from Brezhnev to Gorbachev. Namely, I examine the transformations in speechwriting practices of the kollektiv in the 1970s and 1980s. The kollektiv underwent a process of routinization in the early Brezhnev era, establishing a system of collective writing intended merely to transmit Party directives. This routine, which the contemporaries had described as numbing and uninspiring, had completely changed under Gorbachev. Practically, the routine of the speechwriting had become the continuous process of the creation of new ideas under the supervision of the Secretary General in the mid-1980s.

  • Migrants and Muscovites: the Boundaries of Belonging in Moscow, 1971-2002
    MIGRANTS AND MUSCOVITES: THE BOUNDARIES OF BELONGING IN MOSCOW, 1971-2002 By Emily Joan Elliott A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History – Doctor of Philosophy 2019 ABSTRACT MIGRANTS AND MUSCOVITES: THE BOUNDARIES OF BELONGING IN MOSCOW, 1971-2002 By Emily Joan Elliott This dissertation examines Soviet and post-Soviet Russian attempts to control temporary labor migration to Moscow from 1971 to 2002. Under both the Soviet command economy and the Russian capitalist one, Moscow faced a chronic shortage of workers to fill unskilled, physically demanding positions in the industrial, construction, and transportation sectors. By analyzing how the Office for the Use of Labor Resources in Moscow regulated migration to the capital, I elucidate how the boundaries of belongings in Moscow shifted in conjunction with larger economic and demographic concerns. Soviet policy required that all residents of Moscow (as well as other cities) apply for a residency permit and provide proof of a job before relocating. Russian authorities adapted this policy, requiring all residents – including visitors – to announce their presence with the policy. Contrary to what might be expected, the registration became a much more repressive tool of exclusion in the post-Soviet period. In the 1970s, Soviet social support, particularly in workers’ dormitories, was crucial for the social integration of these temporary labor migrants, known as limitchiki. These programs correlated with reduced labor turnover and increased productivity. Moreover, this dissertation argues that the economic uncertainty that began under perestroika unleashed anti-migrant sentiment. Muscovites held the limitchiki responsible for the capital’s untamed population growth and blamed them for taxing the city’s infrastructure – the very infrastructure that the limitchiki had been hired to build and maintain.

  • English Via Russian) - a Teacher Who Teaches How Not to Behave, What Policy to Avoid
    What can the XXI Century Wars (if any) Look Like? Georgy Arbatov Institute of USA and Canada Studies Russian Academy of Science Practically the whole history of mankind could be called, to borrow famous Hobbsean words, as “a war of all against all.” To avoid a full crush of the society and eradication of the whole population something radical enough had to be done. It was natural that people started with efforts to make existence livable, to introduce at least a semblance of order into internal life of their societies. Governments came into being, laws were introduced, which with time have developed into better or worse legal systems. These changes inside of most countries were not automatically followed by anything similar in international relations, on the world scene. Quite to the contrary. Here as in the past the behavior of the nations and governments was determined by one law predominantly - by the law of jungles. Which permitted practically everything: murders, including mass-murders not only of combatants, of militaries of the other side, but also civilians be they men, women, or even children. Abhorrent conditions of the prisoners of war were usual, as well as their tortures. Of course with the advent of science and technology the mood started to change also in this respect, the strive to self-preservation from annihilation in wars with other countries has become stronger and stronger around the world, as well as understanding that some rules have to be introduced also here, to put limits on inhumanity and cruelty of wars. Outstanding human minds started to doubt whether war should be considered a normal and eternal institution.
