A new fundamental study by the famous historian of Stalinist culture Yevgeny Dobrenko is devoted to one of the least studied periods of Soviet history - late Stalinism. Dealing with the relationship between post-war Soviet cultural policy and political culture, the book is a cultural and intellectual history of the era, told through an analysis of the cultural texts it produced—whether it be literature, cinema, theatre, music, painting, architecture, or popular culture. Referring to the main cultural and political milestones of the post-war era, the author shows how the policy of Stalinism actually followed the main aesthetic modes, conventions and paths of socialist realism. This connection made it possible to create a new Soviet nation, the main phobias, traumas, the image of the enemy, the culture of resentment and the entire mental profile of which, finally formed after the war and survived not only the Stalinist but also the Soviet era, determined the face of today's Russia. Evgeny Dobrenko is a philologist, cultural historian, professor at the University of Sheffield (UK).
