In this study Gleb Tsipursky challenges these stereotypes in a revealing portrayal of Soviet youth and state-sponsored popular culture. The primary local venues for Soviet culture were the tens of thousands of klubs where young people found entertainment, leisure, social life, and romance. Here sports, dance, film, theater, music, lectures, and political meetings became vehicles to disseminate a socialist version of modernity. The Soviet way of life was dutifully presented and perceived as the most progressive and advanced, in an attempt to stave off Western influences. In effect, socialist fun became very serious business. As Tsipursky shows, however, Western culture did infiltrate these activities, particularly at local levels, where participants and organizers deceptively cloaked their offerings to appeal to their own audiences. Thus, Soviet modernity evolved as a complex and multivalent ideological device. Tsipursky provides a fresh and original examination of the Kremlin's paramount effort to shape young lives, consumption, popular culture, and to build an emotional community--all against the backdrop of Cold War struggles to win hearts and minds both at home and abroad"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aSeries in Russian and East European studies. 606 $aYouth$zSoviet Union$xSocial life and customs 606 $aYouth$xGovernment policy$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aYouth$zSoviet Union$xSocieties and clubs$xHistory 606 $aCold War$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union 606 $aPopular culture$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aConsumption (Economics)$zSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aSocialism$xSocial aspects$zSoviet Union$xHistory 607 $aSoviet Union$xSocial life and customs$y1917-1970 607 $aWestern countries$xRelations$zSoviet Union 607 $aSoviet Union$xRelations$zWestern countries 615 0$aYouth$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aYouth$xGovernment policy$xHistory. 615 0$aYouth$xSocieties and clubs$xHistory. 615 0$aCold War$xSocial aspects 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory. 615 0$aConsumption (Economics)$xHistory. 615 0$aSocialism$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 676 $a305.2350947080904 686 $aHIS032000$2bisacsh 700 $aTsipursky$b Gleb$01577064 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796326503321 996 $aSocialist fun$93864485 997 $aUNINA
