Description: Enemy Number One : The United States of America in Soviet Ideology and Propaganda, 1, Paperback by Magnusdottir, Rosa, ISBN 0197609899, ISBN-13 9780197609897, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Enemy Number One tells the story of the Soviet cultural and propaganda apparatus and its efforts to control information about the United States in the postwar landscape. Beginning with the 1945 meeting of American and Soviet troops on the Elbe, this period saw cultural relations develop in
close connection to oppression as the Soviet authorities attempted to contain and appropriate images of the United States. Rsa Magnsdttir analyzes two official narratives about the USSRs "enemy number one" --Stalins anti-American campaign and Khrushchevs policy of peaceful coexistence--and
shows how each relied on the legacy of the wartime alliance in their approach. Stalin used the wartime experience to spread fear of a renewed war, while Khrushchev used the wartime alliance as proof that the two superpowers could work together.
Drawing from extensive archival resources, Magnsdttir brings to life the propaganda warriors and ideological chiefs of the early Cold War period in the Soviet Union, revealing their confusion and insecurities as they attempted to navigate the uncertain world of late Stalin and early Khrushchev
cultural bureaucracy. She also demonstrates how concerned Soviet authorities were by their peoples presumed interest in the United States, resorting to monitoring and even repression-behavior indicative of the inferiority complex of the Soviet project as it related to the outside world.
