Empire of friends
Title Empire of friends : soviet power and socialist internationalism in Cold War Czechoslovakia / Rachel Applebaum Author Applebaum, Rachel, 1980- (Author) Issue First published Publication Ithaca ; London : Cornell University Press, 2019 Scope x, 275 stran : ilustrace ; 24 cm Country United Kingdom ; United States Language English Note Obsahuje bibliografii, bibliografické odkazy a rejstřík Annotation "Throughout Eastern Europe, the friendship project shaped the most intimate aspects of people's lives, influencing everything from what they wore to where they traveled to whom they married. Applebaum argues that in Czechoslovakia, socialist friendship was surprisingly durable, capable of surviving the ravages of Stalinism and the Soviet invasion that crushed the 1968 Prague Spring. Eventually, the project became so successful that it undermined the very alliance it was designed to support: as Soviets and Czechoslovaks got to know one another, they discovered important cultural and political differences that contradicted propaganda about a cohesive socialist world. Empire of Friends reveals that the sphere of everyday life was central to the construction of the transnational socialist system in Eastern Europe—and, ultimately, its collapse." --Cover Výrazy tezauru kulturní spolupráce * společenský život * socialismus * Československo * Svaz sovětských socialistických republik * 40. léta 20. století * 2. polovina 20. století Klasifikační znaky 0811 - Politika spolupráce 2826 - Sociální vztahy 0406 - Politický rámec ISBN 978-1-5017-3557-8 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie Call number Location Info F 89225 EXH - externí sklad Holešovice
