This volume is the first book-length account of Yves Montand's
controversial tour of the Soviet Union at the turn of the years
1956/57. It traces the mixed messages of this internationally
visible act of cultural diplomacy in the middle of the turbulent
Cold War. It also provides an account of the celebrated French
singer-actor's controversial career, his dedication to music and to
peace activism, as well as his widespread fandom in the USSR. The
book describes the political background for the events of the year
1956, including the changing Soviet atmosphere after Stalin's
death, portrays the rising transnational stardom of Montand in the
1940s and 1950s, and explores the controversies aroused by his plan
to visit Moscow after the Hungarian Uprising. The book pays
particular attention to Montand's reception in the USSR and his
concert performances, drawing on unique archival material and oral
history interviews, and analyses the documentary Yves Montand Sings
(1957) released immediately after his visit.
