Putting on gas masks and learning how to shoot Kalashnikov rifles in grade school made Soviet children fear possible attack by Cold War enemies. But a more prosaic invasion of Colorado beetles in the 1980s turned out to be a far more real threat to Soviet families. Many had to master farming when the state, near its demise, no longer had the finances to pay salaries. One of the last generation of Soviet teenagers who tasted the political restrictions and propaganda, and the benefits and deficits of the communist state, the author recalls her early years in a Soviet school, a Young Pioneer inauguration ceremony, work on a collective farm, her family's plot of land and their fights against invasive insects, and her first breaths of post-Soviet freedom, which brought economic havoc and bitter disappointments, along with new hopes.

In this “urgent and enthralling reckoning with family and history” (Andrew Solomon), an American writer returns to Russia to face a past that still haunts him. NAMED ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS’ TOP BOOKS OF THE YEAR Alex Halberstadt’s quest takes him across the troubled, enigmatic land of his birth, where decades of Soviet totalitarianism shaped and fractured three generations of his family. In Ukraine, he tracks down his paternal grandfather—most likely the last living bodyguard of Joseph Stalin. He revisits Lithuania, his Jewish mother’s home, to examine the legacy of the Holocaust and the pernicious anti-Semitism that remains largely unaccounted for. And he returns to his birthplace, Moscow, where his grandmother designed homespun couture for Soviet ministers’ wives, his mother consoled dissidents at a psychiatric hospital, and his father made a dangerous living by selling black-market American records. Halberstadt also explores his own story: that of an immigrant growing up in New York, another in a line of sons separated from their fathers by the tides of politics and history. Young Heroes of the Soviet Union is a moving investigation into the fragile boundary between history and biography. As Halberstadt revisits the sites of his family’s formative traumas, he uncovers a multigenerational transmission of fear, suffering, and rage. And he comes to realize something more: Nations, like people, possess formative traumas that penetrate into the most private recesses of their citizens’ lives.

(Revised 2014 edition) How, where, when and why, did the Soviets educate and indoctrinate young citizens outside of the school environment? What was the link between the school and youth movement in the USSR? What were Soviet values? In this extended academic article I answer these questions, and more. The article contains 60 pages of analysis that explains, for the first time in the English language, how the Communist Party of the Soviet Union fostered proactive citizenship amongst the young people of Uzbekistan. 'The Young Pioneers and the Komsomol of Uzbekistan' contains parts (1) Union-wide Youth Movements, (2) Uzbekistan: the Young Pioneers, (3) Union-wide: Komsomol, (4) Uzbekistan: Komsomol, (5) Conclusion. So, my article moves from the general union-wide (the USSR) to the specific (Uzbekistan as a case study). The historiography content of this work is based upon Western English language and Soviet era translated (from Russian) sources. I outline the influence of Cold War thinking on these western historical documents. Indeed, Uzbekistan was a multi-ethnic society consisting of Uzbeks, Tajiks, Karakalpaks, and the other Central Asian peoples, Tatars, Russians, Ukrainians, Germans, Jews, Koreans, and more. The focus of my work are two Soviet era youth movements operating in Uzbekistan from 1924 to 1991, with an emphasis upon the 1980s. The two youth movements under investigation are the Young Pioneers and the Komsomol. The aim of the communist regime was to establish a Soviet people from amidst ethnic and social diversity and plurality - consisting of loyal workers with a shared ideological consciousness. In light of the historical events after 1991 I will explain the significance of Soviet youth movements as a core state socialization channel. The role of this particular socialisation channel was to inculcate and support citizenship education, values and norms. This extended paper will analyse the phenomenon of Soviet state-civic identity alongside youth movements. I argue, if we want to better understand the mentalities of the current crop of post-Soviet era leaders in Eurasia, we need to examine the Soviet education and indoctrination they experienced as children and young adults. The legacy of one's past can, and often does, re-emerge many year's later as the stresses of adult life kick in. Clearly, under the Soviet system adults were socialised as they progressed through life. In our contemporary society - dominated by the ideology of individualism and capitalism - the processes of adult socialisation are less obvious and less present in everyday life. This article explains the educational upbringing of today's Eurasian leaders. Eurasian leaders over the aged 40 or more would have been members of the Pioneers and the Komsomol. How did these institutions work on young minds? And just as important, this extended article looks at the upbringing of the masses and how their everyday life was influenced by socialism, western Enlightenment values, social interventionism, and Revolution. This article is one facet of my completed PHD thesis ('Implementing a Vision of Citizenship in Soviet Uzbekistan: Theory, Social issues and Education', and available at the library of SOAS, University of London).

Youth and Rock in the Soviet Bloc explores the rise of youth as consumers of popular culture and the globalization of popular music in Russia and Eastern Europe. This collection of essays challenges assumptions that Communist leaders and Western-influenced youth cultures were inimically hostile to one another. While initially banning Western cultural trends like jazz and rock-and-roll, Communist leaders accommodated elements of rock and pop music to develop their own socialist popular music. They promoted organized forms of leisure to turn young people away from excesses of style perceived to be Western. Popular song and officially sponsored rock and pop bands formed a socialist beat that young people listened and danced to. Young people attracted to the music and subcultures of the capitalist West still shared the values and behaviors of their peers in Communist youth organizations. Despite problems providing youth with consumer goods, leaders of Soviet bloc states fostered a socialist alternative to the modernity the capitalist West promised. Underground rock musicians thus shared assumptions about culture that Communist leaders had instilled. Still, competing with influences from the capitalist West had its limits. State-sponsored rock festivals and rock bands encouraged a spirit of rebellion among young people. Official perceptions of what constituted culture limited options for accommodating rock and pop music and Western youth cultures. Youth countercultures that originated in the capitalist West, like hippies and punks, challenged the legitimacy of Communist youth organizations and their sponsors. Government media and police organs wound up creating oppositional identities among youth gangs. Failing to provide enough Western cultural goods to provincial cities helped fuel resentment over the Soviet Union’s capital, Moscow, and encourage support for breakaway nationalist movements that led to the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991. Despite the Cold War, in both the Soviet bloc and in the capitalist West, political elites responded to perceived threats posed by youth cultures and music in similar manners. Young people participated in a global youth culture while expressing their own local views of the world.
