Stalinist Mass Culture on the Eve of War -- Conclusion: The Propaganda State in Crisis -- Archival Repository Abbreviations -- Notes -- IndexThe USSR is often regarded as the world's first propaganda state. Particularly under Stalin, politically charged rhetoric and imagery dominated the press, schools, and 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 exposé 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.Yale-Hoover series on Stalin, Stalinism, and the Cold War.IdeologySoviet UnionHistoryPolitical cultureSoviet UnionHistoryPopular cultureSoviet UnionHistoryPropaganda, SovietHistoryPublic opinionSoviet UnionHistoryState-sponsored terrorismSoviet UnionHistorySoviet UnionPolitics and government1917-1936Soviet UnionPolitics and government1936-1953Electronic books.IdeologyHistory.Political cultureHistory.Popular cultureHistory.Propaganda, SovietHistory.Public opinionHistory.State-sponsored terrorismHistory.947.084/2Brandenberger David500910MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461638903321Propaganda state in crisis2489674UNINA
