Allan Kassoff, The Soviet Youth Programme (Harvard U niversity Press, 1965). 12. E. 1. Monoszona, The Formation o]the Communist World Outlook in Schoolchildren (Moscow: Pedagogic Press, 1978). 13. The word inculcate has been chosen carefully. The Russian vospitaniye beloved of Soviet pedagogues may be translated as 'bringing up' (of children), indoctrination or the inculcation ofa doctrine. Only loosely does it mean 'education'. Monoszona writes almost exclusively of vospitaniye. The word for 'education' in the true sense is obrazovaniye. 14.

The myth ofthe Winter Pa1ace battle, in reality a minor skirmish, has long been established as truth. Total casualties on both sides in the 'battle' were seven killed.

None ofthem had heard ofthe 'Battle ofBritain'. 21. The Soviet Constitution (1977). 22.

  • Counter-Intelligence in a Command Economy
    Counter-Intelligence in a Command Economy Mark Harrison* Department of Economics and CAGE, University of Warwick Centre for Russian and East European Studies, University of Birmingham Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace, Stanford University Inga Zaksauskienė** Faculty of History, Vilnius University Abstract We provide the first thick description of the counter-intelligence function in a command economy of the Soviet type. Based on documentation from Soviet Lithuania, the paper considers the KGB (secret police) as a market regulator, commissioned to prevent the disclosure of secret government business and forestall the disruption of government plans. Where market regulation in open societies is commonly intended to improve market transparency, competition, and fair treatment of consumers and employees, KGB regulation was designed to enforce secrecy, monopoly, and discrimination. One consequence of KGB regulation of the labour market may have been adverse selection for talent. We argue that the Soviet economy was designed to minimize the costs. Keywords: communism, command economy, discrimination, information, loyalty, regulation, security, surveillance, Soviet Union.

Using catches presented by FAO on behalf of the USSR and Russian Federation as a baseline, total removals were estimated by adding estimates of unreported commercial catches, discards at sea, and unreported recreational and subsistence catches. Estimates for ‘ghost fishing’ were also made, but not included in the final reconstructed catch. Total removals by Russia were estimated to be 1.57 times the landings presented by FAO (taking into account USSR-disaggregation), with unreported commercial catches, discards, recreational, and subsistence fisheries representing an additional 30.6 %, 24.7 %, 1.0%, and 0.7 %, respectively. Discards reached their peak in the 1970s and 1980s during a period of intense bottom trawling for sprat that partially contributed to the large-scale fisheries collapse in the 1990s.

Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. and Ukraine “ — Chinese Proverb Elena Istomina, Ph.D. ” Seacamp Association, Inc. has applied the lesson of this Chinese proverb both literally and figuratively through their combined approach to marine science and the global camp community. Founded in 1966, Seacamp is the parent organization of two thriving businesses: Seacamp - a summer residential camp specializing in marine science and SCUBA programs; and a school program operating as the Newfound Harbor Marine Institute (NHMI). The NHMI delivers environmental and marine science education programs to middle and high school students, as well as to university students and teachers. Both of these programs operate on Big Pine Key in the Florida Keys, with 450 campers from the United States and around the world participating in three 18-day summer sessions. Campers study the ocean, learn about coral reefs, and share traditional camp activities. More than 10,000 local, state, national, and international students and teachers participate in the NHMI programs each year.

It Takes A Union To Raise A Soviet: Children's Summer Camps As A Reflection Of Late Soviet Society Abstract This dissertation examines the functioning of Soviet children’s summer camps throughout the period from 1953 to 1970. Researchers conceptualize these years marked by the rule of Nikita Khrushchev and Leonid Brezhnev as the time of transformations of Soviet state and society. The goal of my project was to closely analyze how these transformations affected Soviet children using the example of children’s summer camps. Khrushchev’s ascendance to power changed summer camps from being the institutions which combined rest and education to purely educational ones. All the summer camps’ resources had to be mobilized to fulfill the task of Soviet children’s political indoctrination. Soviet leadership saw summer camps as ideal spaces that immersed children in a special way of life most appropriate for the future builders of communism. Typically for the USSR, by far not all the camps created this type of environment and routine for the young.

  • An Analysis of Russia's
    AN ANALYSIS OF RUSSIA’S ‘ALTERNATIVE’ SOFT POWER STRATEGY AND NATIONAL IDENTITY DISCOURSE VIA SPORTS MEGA-EVENTS By NINA KRAMAREVA A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences University of Birmingham March 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Abstract This thesis seeks to show through both historical and contemporary examples what makes Russia an ‘outlier’ among key sports mega-events hosts. More specifically, this thesis sets out to establish how external and internal objectives Russia pursued in the context of the 1980 Olympics and the 2014 Sochi Olympics differed from those of other sports mega-event hosts, including non-liberal states. The originality of this thesis lies not only in the fact that it sheds light on Russia’s strategy of sports mega-event hosting, but that it does so from the vantage point of the combination of the three most popular approaches in the extant sports mega-event research: public diplomacy, place branding and soft power. Moreover, this study places Russia’s hosting of sports mega-events within constructivist international relations theory, which prioritises identity and interests.

  • Andropov's Gamble: Samantha Smith and Soviet Soft Power
    Andropov’s Gamble: Samantha Smith and Soviet Soft Power Anton Fedyashin Introduction On a November evening in 1982, a ten-year-old fifth-grader from Manches- ter, Maine—population just above two thousand—became concerned about world peace under the impression of news stories about the Soviet nuclear threat. To alleviate her daughter’s fears, Jane Smith sat down with Samantha to read a Time magazine article about Yuri Andropov who had just succeeded Leonid Brezhnev as General Secretary of the CPSU. The introductory paragraph read: “When Jo- seph Conrad wrote about the place, he called his novel Under Western Eyes be- cause he wanted his readers to understand that his history was told by an outsider, meaning that no non-Russian could ever hope to see into that particular heart of darkness with any clarity or certainty. It is the same now. With Leonid Brezhnev gone, where are Western eyes to look, at the man or at the space he left, for an understanding of this moment?”1 Samantha decided to write a letter to penetrate that darkness, addressed it to Andropov, and received a reply from the Kremlin inviting her to visit the Soviet Union and report what she saw. The most successful Soviet PR campaign of the late Cold War, the Smith visit demonstrated a creative, albeit short-lived, variation on the rich history of Soviet public relations.2 This surreal epistolary exchange and visit have attracted limited scholarly attention.3 And this article will add to the conversation by exploring some important but overlooked details in the con- text of evolving political narratives emerging out of Moscow and Washington in the early 1980s—the clash between the Soviet quest for legitimacy founded 1 Roger Rosenblatt, “Half a World Lies Open, Leonid Brezhnev Leaves a Vacuum Greater than the Man Who Filled It,” Time, 22 November 1983, 11.

  • 16 How to Educate Pioneers in Independence and Initiative
    FORUM FOR ANTHROPOLOGY AND CULTURE, 2020, NO 16 HOW TO EDUCATE PIONEERS IN INDEPENDENCE Children as Subjects AND INITIATIVE: THE PEDAGOGICAL TACTICS Forum OF ARTEK AND ORLYONOK (1957–1991) № 162020 Children as Subjects Anna Kozlova for Anthropology and Culture for Anthropology and Culture Forum Expeditions European University at St Petersburg Reviews Forum Articles Personalia 2020 6/1A Gagarinskaya Str., St Petersburg, Russia №16 [email protected] Abstract: The article examines the attempt by the leaders and planners of the Artek and Orlyonok model camps in the USSR in the 1960–80s to put into practice the popular idea of the Soviet project of the child as the active and independent subject of his / her actions.

It also surveys the reflections of pedagogues who carried out state orders to realise in particular ways this requirement under the conditions of an ‘organised’ institutional regime. The author points out that the techniques of developing ‘independence and initiative’ (inspired by order of the Central Committee of the Komsomol), developed over time in the late Soviet period, came to be understood by ex-employees as the seeds of an innovative personality-orientated approach, radically different from the Soviet pedagogical tradition. Michel de Certeau’s theory of ‘strategies’ and ‘tactics’ is used to explain the collision between the intention of the order and its perception.
