Rogacheva sheds new light on the complex transition of Soviet
society from Stalinism into the post-Stalin era. Using the case
study of Chernogolovka, one of dozens of scientific towns built in
the USSR under Khrushchev, she explains what motivated scientists
to participate in the Soviet project during the Cold War. Rogacheva
traces the history of this scientific community from its creation
in 1956 through the Brezhnev period to paint a nuanced portrait of
the living conditions, political outlook, and mentality of the
local scientific intelligentsia. Utilizing new archival materials
and an extensive oral history project, this book argues that Soviet
scientists were not merely bought off by the Soviet state, but that
they bought into the idealism and social optimism of the
post-Stalin regime. Many shared the regime's belief in the
progressive development of Soviet society on a scientific basis,
and embraced their increased autonomy, material privileges and
elite status.
