Описание: This concise, approachable introduction to Khrushchev explores the innovative theme of Khrushchev as reformer, arguing that the `bumbling` nature of those reforms only partly reflected Khrushchev`s uncertainty about how to act. Swain provides a cogent account of Khrushchev`s political career and of his wider role in Soviet and world politics.
Stories of House and Home is a social and cultural history of the massive construction campaign that Khrushchev instituted in 1957 to resolve the housing crisis in the Soviet Union and to provide each family its own apartment. Decent housing was deemed the key to a healthy, productive home life, which was essential to the realization of socialist collectivism. Drawing on archival materials, as well as memoirs, fiction, and the Soviet press, Christine Varga-Harris shows how the many aspects of this enormous state initiative—from neighborhood planning to interior design—sought to alleviate crowded, undignified living conditions and sculpt residents into ideal Soviet citizens. She also details how individual interests intersected with official objectives for Soviet society during the Thaw, a period characterized by both liberalization and vigilance in everyday life.Set against the backdrop of the widespread transition from communal to one-family living, Stories of House and Home explores the daily experiences and aspirations of Soviet citizens who were granted new apartments and those who continued to inhabit the old housing stock due to the chronic problems that beset the housing program. Varga-Harris analyzes the contradictions apparent in heroic advances and seemingly inexplicable delays in construction, model apartments boasting modern conveniences and decrepit dwellings, happy housewarmings and disappointing moves, and new residents and individuals requesting to exchange old apartments. She also reveals how Soviet citizens identified with the state and with the broader project of building socialism.

Nikita Khrushchev's Teacher memoir is intertwined with history as lived, documented, and remembered by Antonina G. Gladky, one of the millions of women, caught in the whirlwind of catastrophic historical events of the twentieth-century Russia and the Soviet Union. The events, written and narrated, tell with the authentic voice her life story that is personal in detail and historical in scope. It documents how Russian Revolution, Civil War, Communist Party and Bolshevik totalitarian dictatorial regime, and Stalin's bloody terror shaped her fate.
The story begins with the peaceful life of Antonina ancestors in Old Russia and her happy childhood growing up in a small provincial town in southeastern Ukraine. Antonina's family tragedy struck at the time when she was starting her independent life as a teacher.
But the course of her life had changed forever when she married Orest, her former student and White Army veteran, who returned home after fighting Reds in the last battles for Crimea.
Their family life became a struggle to survive not only the adversities imposed by the Soviet Government on its people but also to prevent her husband from being caught by the State secret police. To evade inquiries into his White Army veteran past, they moved from place to place in their native Ukraine.
The book has a bonus for the memoir readers, history buffs and historians - the unique insight into Nikita Khrushchev's politically formative years as a Communist politician and a rising party leader.

In the Web of History is an engaging odyssey of a family--one of millions-- caught in the whirlwind of catastrophic historical events and wars sweeping across 20th century Russia and the Soviet Union. It brings to life the not-so-distant past--it documents how history, the Russian revolution, the Communist Party, the Bolsheviks' totalitarian dictatorial regime, and Stalin's bloody terror influenced and shaped the family's fate. It is a rich source for memoir readers who value an authentic voice of real people sharing their thoughts, aspirations, and struggles to overcome adversities in their lives. It is a storehouse for inquisitive readers who choose to immerse themselves in the world of historical memoirs to discover details of daily life, customs and traditions that have been lost with time and vanished from the memory of new generations. And there is a rare bonus for history lovers, history buffs, and historians-- the unique insight of Nikita Khrushchev's teacher into his politically formative years as a communist politician and a rising Party Leader. In the Web of History is a treasure of up-close, intensely personal accounts of Russian and Soviet Union history as lived, documented, and remembered in detail by the Gladky family--whose name is Legion. The saga of the Gladky family--of the new intelligentsia--who, from the Russian Revolution, the savage bitterness of Civil War, the Bolshevik dictatorship, and Stalin's persecutions, became pawns of history.

Описание: When Nikita Khrushchev toured America in 1959—the first Russian leader ever to set foot in the Western Hemisphere, let alone the United States—the country was enjoying a period of unprecedented prosperity, just as the Cold War and the possibility of thermonuclear annihilation were causing widespread, bone-deep dread throughout the land. This book for the first time fully explores Khrushchev's journey as a reflection of a critical moment in US life. Deeply researched and deftly written, Nikita Khrushchev's Journey into America captures that moment in all its complexity and implications, describing not only the Russian leader's occasionally surreal itinerary (a tantrum at being denied entry into Disneyland, for instance, or a near-riot upon wandering into a grocery store in San Francisco) but also the tenor of the crowds and the country along the way.Following Khrushchev from his arrival in the nation's capital to the eerily silent greeting of hundreds of thousands of spectators to his tickling of pigs, kissing of babies, and glad-handing of union workers and farm laborers in rural Iowa to his encounter with President Dwight Eisenhower, Nelson and Schoenbachler's work offers glimpses of the clash between a true believer in the Soviet system and the icons of capitalism and visions of prosperity he repeatedly confronted on his trip. At the same time the book shows us the American people of the time coming to terms with who they were even as they confronted the embodiment of everything they believed they weren't: atheistic, socialist, and ideological.As the narrative unfolds, Khrushchev's visit can be understood as easily the most democratic event of the Cold War, one that laid bare the depth of ideological commitments on both sides of the geopolitical divide as well as the key role of religion in shaping Americans' reactions to the Soviet leader and to the Cold War itself.
