	Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Soviet Union is traditionally considered to be the successor of the Russian Empire.
		The Soviet Union was established in December 1922 as the union of the Russian (colloquially known as Bolshevist Russia), 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.

	McCarthyism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Soviets were accused of wanting to set up a puppet régime in which they could control a buffer state on their western border.
		In late summer of 1949, on 29 August the Soviet atomic bomb project was revealed when it exploded a replica of the atomic bomb Fat Man; the Soviet Union had gained some of its nuclear technology by espionage from the United States.
		Communist spies included Julius Rosenberg and Theodore Hall, who gave nuclear secrets to the Soviets, and Harry Dexter White, who was the founding head of the International Monetary Fund.

	MURDER BY COMMUNISM
		It also shows the total for communist guerrillas (including quasi-governments, as of the Mao soviets in China prior to the communist victory in 1949) and the world total for all governments and guerillas (including such quasi-governments as of the White Armies during the Russian civil war in 1917-1922).
		Their apparent precision is only due to the total for most communist governments being the summation of dozens of subtotals (as of forced labor deaths each year) and calculations (as in extrapolating scholarly estimates of executions or massacres).
		Communist governments have almost without exception wielded the most absolute power and their greatest killing (such as during Stalin's reign or the height of Mao's power) has taken place when they have been in their own history most totalitarian.

	Gendercide Watch: Stalin's Purges
		By 1928, Stalin was entrenched as supreme Soviet leader, and he wasted little time in launching a series of national campaigns (the so-called Five-Year Plans) aimed at "collectivizing" the peasantry and turning the USSR into a powerful industrial state.
		One of the enduring debates over this era of Soviet history is whether Stalin's despotism marked a decisive break with previous Bolshevik practice, or whether it was merely a continuation of the brutal and dictatorial system installed under his predecessor, Lenin.
		Returning Soviet prisoners-of-war were sent to the labour camps as suspected "traitors," and fresh "plots" were discovered that swelled the camps' population to some 12 million people by the time Stalin finally died in March 1953.

	Country Studies - Mongolia: Soviet Union (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		By 1985 the Soviet Union had consulates in the cities of Choybalsan; Darhan, where many Soviet-built factories were located; and Erdenet, the site of a Mongolian-Soviet joint copper and molybdenum mining enterprise (see Industry).
		Soviet foreign minister Eduard Shevardnadze visited Mongolia from January 23 to 25, 1986, shortly after celebrations marking the twentieth anniversary of the signing of the 1966 Mongolian-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance and its extension for ten years.
		He indicated Soviet interest in improved Moscow-Beijing relations, and he included a plan to withdraw Soviet troops from Mongolia, a major factor in Soviet diplomatic initiatives designed to meet China's conditions for normalization of relations (see Threat Perception).

		Schlesinger occupied two responsible positions within the Soviet Union before his eventual expulsion from the KPD and subsequent departure from the USSR in 1936;[15] he had fallen foul of the increasingly authoritarian regime's demand for ideological and political homogeneity.
		As significant as Schlesinger's activities and memoir accounts of the social democratic and communist movements are, it is his role as a scholar and writer in his subsequent émigré life for which he perhaps most deserves the epithet trailblazer.
		For example in 1947 Miller wrote in an initial proposal for Soviet Studies, 'The outstanding five or six authorities on the USSR in Britain (Dobb, Baykov, Sumner, Rothstein, Schlesinger and E. Carr) are all very interested in the proposal'.

		During the Cold War period this domain of study was part of the IR research agenda mainly in the sense of the traditional focus on foreign and security policy, and studies focusing on the region were also carried out under the rubrics of Kremlinology, Soviet Studies, and Communist Studies.
		Russian studies in IR have now greatly expanded and are being shaped by a variety of approaches reflecting the discipline’s traditions and recent trends in social theory and research methodology.
		Simultaneously the situation where IR studies are in the process of being established in Russian universities and research institutions invites a dialogue of different academic and cultural traditions.

	STAR TREK for Communists
		To a Soviet TV audience of the late 1960s, this was shockingly broad-minded—the closest thing to having an "alien" like Spock aboard.
		The implicit message is: be diligent in your studies, young people, and you too may one day honor the Motherland on the frontiers of Soviet achievement.
		Brezhnev was known for his enthusiasm for show business and the Soviet space program (and graft and booze and mistresses and diamonds and expensive foreign cars, but that's another story).

	Taylor & Francis Journals: Welcome
		The face of Europe has been transformed by the demise of the Soviet Union and the collapse of communist party rule in Eastern Europe.
		Within a series of countries, some of them erstwhile members of a Soviet bloc, others once part of the Soviet Union itself, a deep process of adjustment is under way.
		Retitled to reflect these far-reaching changes, The Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics devotes particular attention to this truly epochal process of regime change, including in its material contributions from within the affected societies.

		This book is the first detailed examination of the background, causes and development of the differences between Tirana and Moscow which resulted in an open break in late 1961 and has continued with mounting vehemence since.
		In addition to tracing the complicated course of relations between the Soviet Union, Communist China and Albania from 1960 to 1963, the author analyzes the conflict between Yugoslavia and Albania which is one of the main reasons for Tirana’s antagonism toward Moscow and alliance with Peking.
		This first publication by the Center for International Studies is a useful scholarly study of the politics of the small European country which has so big a part in the Great Debate.

		From Kyrgyzstan on the Chinese border to Moldova (see map), where Europe's only ruling Communist Party faces elections next month, opposition parties are eagerly studying Georgia's "Rose Revolution" and Ukraine's "Orange Revolution," which led to the triumph of pro-democracy forces.
		Georgian President Mikhael Saakashvili and newly inaugurated Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko were clearly addressing their former Soviet colleagues last month when they hailed their revolts as the leading edge of "a new wave of liberation that will lead to the final victory of freedom and democracy on the continent of Europe."
		In next-door Belarus, which US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has labeled "the last outpost of tyranny in Europe," dictator Alexander Lukashenko has crushed the opposition and banished nongovernmental organizations, and looks set to be handily reelected in showpiece elections later this year.
