Dancing the Nation? French Dance Diplomacy in Allied-Occupied Austria, 1945–55
Austrian History Yearbook. 2019. Vol. 50. P. 166–183.
These excerpts from critical reviews covering French dance tours in Vienna, Salzburg, and Innsbruck reflect the scale and variety of French cultural engagement and its growing public visibility in Austria. Out of the four Allied powers, it was France, and not the Soviet Union with its “ballet capital,” that made most use of dance and ballet for nation-brandingpurposes, both in sabots and on pointe. France's dance diplomacy exported all genres of dance to Austria in order to portray the politically and militarily weakened nation as a rayonnant cultural leader of Europe, whose diversity, supremacy, and grandeur were not undone by 1871 and 1940.

The first decade after the end of the revolutionary events in Gilan (1920-21) was a period of active attempts by the Bolsheviks, the Communist International and the Communist Party of Iran to gain a solid social foothold in Iran. Thispaper, based mainly on Russian archival sources, focuses on studying the dynamics of the guidelines of the CommunistInternational and the Communist Party of Iran, the attempts and features of their implementation, as well as on therelationship of the Iranian Communists with the Bolsheviks and the leadership of the Communist International. The studydemonstrates that the main efforts of the Reds in 1922-25 were aimed at building an inter-class coalition, wherecooperation with Reza Khan became only part of these broader efforts. The failures led the Reds to a previously testedcourse of fomenting the agrarian revolution in Iran and repeated fiascos. Throughout this period, the leadership of the Communist Party of Iran was not a simple executor of directives, but took an active part in the decision-making process,involved the Bolsheviks in its internal party struggle and challenged high-ranking functionaries of the Communist International. ...
