I show that Etkind's texts rely on such factual omissions to denounce the “criminal state” ...

There has been a recent upsurge of interest to the Krushchev’s Thaw as not only the period of ideological liberalization, but also as a moment of broadening and deepening of social control.

В статьях этого сборника рассматривается судьба советского проекта по созданию «нового человека» в послесталинский период. Авторы показывают, что после Сталина проект стал даже актуальнее, чем при Сталине, поскольку советское руководство искало новые механизмы контроля, которыми можно было заменить террор. Это привело к росту роли государства, равно как и к возникновению парадокса: несмотря на усиление давления ...
