Focusing on a number of historical and literary personalities who
were regarded with disdain in the aftermath of the 1917
revolution--figures such as Peter the Great, Ivan the Terrible,
Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, and Mikhail Lermontov--"Epic
Revisionism" tells the fascinating story of these individuals'
return to canonical status during the darkest days of the Stalin
era. An inherently interdisciplinary project, "Epic Revisionism"
features pieces on literary and cultural history, film, opera, and
theater. This volume pairs scholarly essays with selections drawn
from Stalin-era primary sources--newspaper articles, unpublished
archival documents, short stories--to provide students and
specialists with the richest possible understanding of this
understudied phenomenon in modern Russian history.
The USSR is often regarded as the world's first propaganda state. Particularly under Stalin, politically charged rhetoric and imagery dominated the press, the schools, and the cultural forums from literature and cinema to the fine arts. Yet party propagandists were repeatedly frustrated in their efforts to promote a coherent sense of "Soviet" identity during the interwar years. This book investigates this failure to mobilize society along communist lines by probing the secrets of the party's ideological establishment and indoctrinational system. An expose of systemic failure within Stalin's ideological establishment, "Propaganda State in Crisis" ultimately rewrites the history of Soviet indoctrination and mass mobilization between 1927 and 1941.
