Showcasing the Great Experiment explores the reception of these intellectuals and fellow-travelers and their cross-cultural and trans-ideological encounters in order to analyze Soviet attitudes towards the West. Many of the twentieth century's greatest writers and thinkers, including Theodore Dreiser, Andre Gide, Paul Robeson, and George Bernard Shaw, notoriously defended Stalin's USSR despite the unprecedented violence of its prewar decade. 000642713 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000642713 650_0 $$aIntellectuals$$xTravel$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000642713 650_0 $$aVisitors, Foreign$$zSoviet Union$$xHistory. 000642713 650_0 $$aPropaganda$$zSoviet Union. 000642713 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xForeign public opinion, American. 000642713 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xRelations$$zWestern countries. 000642713 651_0 $$aWestern countries$$xRelations$$zSoviet Union. 000642713 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xCultural policy. 000642713 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xForeign public opinion, European. 000642713 651_0 $$aSoviet Union$$xHistory$$y1917-1936. 000642713 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aDavid-Fox, Michael, 1965-$$tShowcasing the great experiment.$$dOxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, c2012$$z9780199794577$$w(DLC) 2011006702$$w(OCoLC)703623679 000642713 8520_ $$bacq 000642713 85280 $$bebk$$hEbrary 000642713 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=829386$$zOnline Access 000642713 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:642713$$pGLOBAL_SET 000642713 980__ $$aEBOOK 000642713 980__ $$aBIB 000642713 982__ $$aEbook 000642713 983__ $$aOnline
