This volume examines how numerous international transfers,
circulations, and exchanges shaped the world of socialism during
the Cold War. Over the course of half a century, the Soviets shaped
politics, values and material culture throughout the vast space of
Eurasia, and foreign forces in turn often influenced Soviet
policies and society. The result was the distinct and
interconnected world of socialism, or the Socialist Second World.
Drawing on previously unavailable archival sources and cutting-edge
insights from "New Cold War" and transnational histories, the
twelve contributors to this volume focus on diverse cultural and
social forms of this global socialist exchange: the cults of
communist leaders, literature, cinema, television, music,
architecture, youth festivals, and cultural diplomacy. The book's
contributors seek to understand the forces that enabled and impeded
the cultural consolidation of the Socialist Second World. The
efforts of those who created this world, and the limitations on
what they could do, remain key to understanding both the outcomes
of the Cold War and a recent legacy that continues to shape lives,
cultures and policies in post-communist states today.
