In the Khrushchev era, Soviet citizens were newly encouraged to
imagine themselves exploring the medieval towers of Tallinn's Old
Town, relaxing on the Romanian Black Sea coast, even climbing the
Eiffel Tower. By the mid 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Soviet
citizens each year crossed previously closed Soviet borders to
travel abroad. All this is your World explores the revolutionary
integration of the Soviet Union into global processes of cultural
exchange in which a de-Stalinizing Soviet Union increasingly, if
anxiously, participated in the transnational circulation of people,
ideas, and items. Anne E. Gorsuch examines what it meant to be
"Soviet" in a country no longer defined as Stalinist.
All this is your World is situated at the intersection of a number
of topics of scholarly and popular interest: the history of tourism
and mobility; the cultural history of international relations,
specifically the Cold War; the history of the Soviet Union after
Stalin. It also offers a new perspective on our view of the
European continent as a whole by probing the Soviet Union's
relationship with both eastern and western Europe using archival
materials from Russia, Estonia, Hungary, Great Britain, and the
United States. Beginning with a domestic tour of the Soviet Union
in late Stalinism, the book moves outwards in concentric circles to
consider travel to the inner abroad of Estonia, to the near abroad
of eastern Europe, and to the capitalist West, finally returning
home again with a discussion of Soviet films about tourism.
