		The role of `artistic culture' was considered within the system of spiritual culture and the functioning of artistic values was explained in terms of their determination by the class structure, deriving from material conditions and the class struggle.
		This opposition is unlike that between the folk culture of the dominated strata and `high culture' of the dominant in the past, which was characterised by the relative isolation of the former.
		Conceptualising culture in the light of `postwilliamsian discourse' and trying to specify the position of `particular cultures' within the cultural system of industrial or post-industrial society, it is necessary to consider the position of the rock phenomenon, which is extremely significant for the investigation of the problems of youth cultures in Soviet Union.

	Soviet Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Soviet Union was established in December 1922 as the Union of the Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Transcaucasian Soviet Republics ruled by Bolshevik parties.
		The Soviet Union occupied the eastern portion of the European continent and the northern portion of the Asian continent.
		The Soviet Union was so large, in fact, that even after all associated Republics gained independence, Russia remained the largest country by area, and still remains quite ethnically diverse, including, e.g., minorities of Tatars, Udmurts, and many other non-Russian ethnicities.

	Spiritual Potential of the Communal Revival: Yiddish Culture and Post-Soviet Jewry - Velvl Chernin
		One of the most impressive achievements of Yiddish culture approved by the Soviet authorities in the 1980s was related to the project of the group, Yiddish, that worked between 1981-1983 within the framework of the Maxim Gorki Literary Institute in Moscow.
		The cultural activists of these European languages tried and even succeeded to raise the "common language" to the level of a cultural and literary language that could be used as a national language in every aspect and in all areas, and could drive out the foreign language.
		Soviet immigrants have shown some interest in the ideas of the old-time immigrant from Argentina and Yiddish activist Daniel Galai about fostering a separate Ashkenazi identity in Israel, an important component of which is the Yiddish language.

	Steve Nottingham: Early Soviet Cinema
		In the Soviet Union, after the revolution of 1917, the cinema became regarded as an educational tool, to inform the rural population about the ideals of the new communist order.
		Soviet film-makers were working during a time of great social upheaval, which saw the collapse of an existing culture and its replacement with a revolutionary world-view.
		Soviet film is also essentially different from contemporary European cinema, particularly Scandinavian cinema, where films dealing with complex themes centring on human relationships, for example The Abyss (1910), were made for an educated and sophisticated audience, who were quick to accept cinema as an art equivalent to music or painting.

	"Soviet Jewry, Religion - A Different Kind of Kosher - Forward.com"
		For her, the apparent oxymorons of Soviet Judaism represent not a drifting away from Jewish roots but a coming together of two separate worlds — Jewish and Soviet — in a new culture with its own center of gravity and, yes, its own exacting brand of kashrut.
		By 1939, the Sovietization of the Jews was considered complete and the cultural campaigns on the decline.
		What is indisputable 15 years after the Soviet Union’s collapse is that Jews were never truly able to escape their Jewishness, as nationality was marked on every Soviet passport beginning in 1932, and state-sponsored antisemitism blocked advancement for decades thereafter.

	Yiddish in the U.S.S.R.
		By grim coincidence, the ark carrying the remnant of the Soviet Union's Yiddish writers has come to rest only a few doors away from the gruesome cellars that were the entrance to Golgotha for the martyred creators of a magnificent body of Yiddish literature.
		In the spring of 1969, at the peak of the Soviet propaganda :crusade against Israel, "The Knight in the Tiger's Skin" was brought out in Israel by the Labor Zionist publishing house, Sifriat Poalim, in a lavish edition illustrated with colorful miniatures by 15th and 16th century Georgian artists.
		This unusual cultural exchange between the Georgians and the Israelis has been welcomed by Soviet Jewish intellectuals as a hopeful sign that all the bridges between the Soviet Union and Israel have not been burned yet.

	Additional Reviews and/or Endorsements for Brooks, J.: Thank You, Comrade Stalin! Soviet Public Culture from Revolution ...
		In lively and provocative prose, Jeffrey Brooks examines the Soviet press to show how Party leaders constructed a vision of national identity through their tight control over the dissemination of information.
		Through a splendid examination of the Soviet Press, Brooks reveals that the rise of the cult of Stalin, Soviet anti-Semitism and the great 'Great Patriotic War' against Fascism provided the foundational myths of the new regime.
		As he details the unfolding of the Soviet view of the Cold War, no longer will it be possible for scholars to study the Cold War as only a diplomatic response to the Soviets or an internal affair focused on anti-communist purges in the United States.
