Strengthening Friendship and Fraternal Solidarity: Soviet Youth Tourism to Eastern Europe under Khrushchev and Brezhnev

Abstract

The three decades following Stalin’s death in 1953 witnessed a dramatic expansion in Soviet tourism to the other countries of the European socialist bloc. Youth tourism in particular was an important feature of efforts to build friendlier and more durable links with the satellite states at the grassroots level. However, the prospects for long-term success in this endeavour were continually hampered by Soviet concerns about the dangers of interaction, and as the years passed, the economic benefits of tourist travel rather than the initial goal of building solidarity were accorded priority.     

勃列日涅夫时期持不同政见运动及其对苏联政治文化的影响

在勃列日涅夫时代,苏联社会政治生活中的一个显著特征就是制度的超稳定性,不过,与超稳定性同样引人注目的是当时持不同政见运动的风起云涌.从政治文化角度,我们可以把持不同政见运动视作一场信仰运动,尽管这一运动在勃列日涅夫时期还是苏联政治生活中的亚文化,但它对苏联政治文化发展的影响却是不容忽视的,不仅对苏联政治体制提出了挑战,而且影响着人们的政治态度、政治情感与政治认知,最终影响着人们的政治行为.因此,研究持不同政见运动对苏联政治文化的影响,有助于我们理解苏联剧变的深层次原因.
