Description: Stalin's Last Generation by Juliane FÜrst Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description An in-depth study of late Stalinist youth and youth culture, illuminating the complex relationship between the Soviet state and its youth and providing a new framework for understanding late Stalinism and its impact on the future development of the Soviet system. Publisher Description Stalins last generation was the last generation to come of age under Stalin, yet it was also the first generation to be socialized in the post-war period. Its young members grew up in a world that still carried many of the hallmarks of the Soviet Unions revolutionary period, yet their surroundings already showed the first signs of decay, stagnation, and disintegration. Stalins last generation still knew how to speak Bolshevik,still believed in the power of Soviet heroes and still wished to construct socialism, yet they also liked to dance and dress in Western styles, they knew how to evade boring lectures and lessons inMarxism-Leninism, and they were keen to forge identities that were more individual than those offered by the state. In this book, Juliane FÜrst creates a detailed picture of late Stalinist youth and youth culture, looking at young people from a variety of perspectives: as children of the war, as recipients and creators of propaganda, as perpetrators of crime, as representatives of fledgling subcultures, as believers, as critics, and as drop-outs. In the process, sheilluminates not only the complex relationship between the Soviet state and its youth, but also provides a new interpretative framework for understanding late Stalinism - the impact of which on Sovietsocietys subsequent development has hitherto been underestimated, including its role in the ultimate demise of the USSR.
