Book Description:
Fifty years after the end of World War II, this book focuses on a little-known aspect of the Great Patriotic War: its cultural and emotional impact on the Russian people. Stites offers the most recent scholarship on the Russian cultural offerings of the wartime period - in the rear areas, on the homefront, on the battlefield, and over the airwaves. Coverage ranges from the Moscow press to frontline correspondents in the field; from entertainment brigades at the front to amateur and spontaneous composition of songs and poems by fighting men and women; from symphonic representations of a country facing extinction to literary classics revived, adapted, republished, and read over the radio; from the stages of Moscow to folk ensembles performing on the battlefield; and from the politicized organization and censorship of entertainment to the reception of cultural outpourings in the hearts and souls of ordinary Russians at war. Contributors are: Jeffrey Brooks, James Von Geldern, Peter Kenez, Louise McReynolds, Argyrios K. Pisiotis, Harlow Robinson, Robert A. Rothstein, Rosalinde Sartorti, Harold B. Segel, Richard Stites, and Nina Tumarkin.
