First published in 1991, Glasnost in Action: Cultural
Renaissance in Russia is a comprehensive portrait of a society in
transition as Professor Nove reflects on the changes taking place
in the USSR at that time. While in English, glasnost' means
?openness?, the author questions what ?openness? actually means in
the USSR. How is Soviet culture ? their art, literature, theatre,
music and social life ? affected by the new freedom of speech and
thought that resulted from glasnost'? Was it Gorbachev's power and
charisma that propelled glasnost' or would it build up enough
momentum in Soviet society to continue independently? Professor
Nove uses examples from each area of Soviet life in his exploration
of the new openness, referring to the release of previously banned
films, writings, plays and works of art, while reflecting on the
newfound honesty about the country's Stalinist past and the
problems faced today.
