Реконструируются массовые операции 1937-1938 гг. на территории Прикамья. На основании архивных источников показано, что на локальном уровне различий между репрессивными кампаниями практически не существовало. Сотрудники НКВД на местах действовали по единому алгоритму, выкорчевывая «вражеские гнезда» в райкомах и заводских конторах и нанося превентивный удар по «контрреволюционному кулачеству» и «инобазе» буржуазных разведок. Это позволяет уточнить представления ...

В 1930-е годы И. В. Сталин и его окружение, озабоченные мобилизацией советского общества для грядущей войны, организовали пропагандистскую кампанию по «реабилитации» прославленных деятелей русского прошлого. В своем исследовании Д. Л. Бранденбергер прослеживает историю популистской руссоцентристской идеологии в период 1930-х – середины 1950-х годов, доказывая, что эта мобилизационная политика вопреки намерения ее творцов стала катализатором формирования ...

The USSR is often regarded as the world's first propaganda state. Particularly under Stalin, politically charged rhetoric and imagery dominated the press, schools, and cultural forums from literature and cinema to the fine arts. Yet party propagandists were repeatedly frustrated in their efforts to promote a coherent sense of "Soviet" identity during the interwar years. ...

theatre structure in favour of a state theatre and ...

The consequences of that momentous decision, which set in motion a transformation eventually affecting the entire postwar world order, are here chronicled from inside a previously forbidden Soviet ...

It was quite literally the the master narrative of the USSR—a hegemonic statement on history, politics, and Marxism-Leninism that scripted Soviet society for a generation. This study exposes the enormous role that Stalin ...
