Soviet ideologies in the period of glasnost : responses to Brezhnev's stagnation

The mid-1970s found almost all spheres of Soviet society in economic, social and moral decline, a decline that generated conflicting ideologies offering solutions. "Soviet ideologies in the period of glasnost" provides a penetrating examination of these unofficial ideologies, both historically and analytically, based upon studies of Soviet media, literature, films, underground literature, and Western scholarly works. Vladimir Shlapentokh explores all the main unofficial ideological trends in the post-Stalin era, focusing on liberal Westernized and Russophile-Slavophile ideology. The first two chapters analyze those processes that economically and morally crippled the nation, particularly the Soviet consumer and the privatization process. The next two chapters cover the economic, political and ideological state of the USSR in the early 1980s. Subsequent chapters examine conservative ideology, with its justification of stagnation and neo-Stalinism offered by the political elite. Finally, Shlapentokh examines Gorbachev's ideological revolution that started as neo-Stalinist but soon evolved into a Liberal-Marxist trends. Students and professors of Soviet studies, comparative sociology, and international relations will find this volume a thorough and well-documented discussion of unofficial thinking trends in the Soviet Union during the post-Brezhnev era.
