Graeme Gill focuses on the symbolism in party policy and leaders' speeches, artwork and political posters, and urban redevelopment, and on ritual in the political system. He shows how this symbolism and ritual were worked into a dominant metanarrative which underpinned Soviet political development. Gill also shows how, in each of these spheres, the images changed both over the life of the regime and during particular stages: the Leninist era metanarrative differed from that of the Stalin period, which differed from that of the Khrushchev and Brezhnev periods, which was, in turn, changed significantly under Gorbachev. In charting this development, the book lays bare the dynamics of the Soviet regime and a major reason for its fall.Symbols & Legitimacy in Soviet PoliticsSocial changeSoviet UnionHistorySymbolism in politicsSoviet UnionHistoryPolitical customs and ritesSoviet UnionHistoryNarration (Rhetoric)Political aspectsSoviet UnionHistoryLegitimacy of governmentsSoviet UnionHistoryPolitical cultureSoviet UnionHistoryPopular cultureSoviet UnionHistorySoviet UnionPolitics and governmentSoviet UnionCivilizationSocial changeHistory.Symbolism in politicsHistory.Political customs and ritesHistory.Narration (Rhetoric)Political aspectsHistory.Legitimacy of governmentsHistory.Political cultureHistory.Popular cultureHistory.947.084Gill Graeme J.766722UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910809172603321Symbols and legitimacy in Soviet politics4006966UNINA
