Particularly under Stalin, politically charged rhetoric and imagery dominated the press, schools, and cultural forums from literature and cinema to the fine arts.

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 ...

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 ...
