SOVIET SOFT POWER IN POLAND: CULTURE AND THE MAKING OF STALIN’S NEW EMPIRE, 1943-1957
Book ID/图书代码： 13014014B74457
English Summary/英文概要： Concentrating on the formative years of the Cold War from 1943 to 1957, Patryk Babiracki reveals little-known Soviet efforts to build a postwar East European empire through culture. Babiracki argues that the Soviets involved in foreign cultural outreach used “soft power” in order to galvanize broad support for the postwar order in the emerging Soviet bloc. Populated with compelling characters ranging from artists, writers, journalists, and scientists to party and government functionaries, this work illuminates the behind-the-scenes schemes of the Stalinist international propaganda machine. Based on exhaustive research in Russian and Polish archives, Babiracki’s study is the first in any language to examine the two-way interactions between Soviet and Polish propagandists and to evaluate their attempts at cultural cooperation. Babiracki shows that the Stalinist system ultimately undermined Soviet efforts to secure popular legitimacy abroad through persuasive propaganda. He also highlights the limitations and contradictions of Soviet international cultural outreach, which help explain why the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe crumbled so easily after less than a half-century of existence.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 著重1943至1957冷戰的醞釀階段，派翠克．巴比拉奇揭露蘇聯鮮為人知的作為，努力透過文化建造戰後東歐帝國。為了戰後秩序，崛起的蘇聯參與外國文化擴展，使用軟實力來引發廣泛的支援。
從藝術家、作家、記者、科學家到黨員及政府職員，充滿令人注目的人物，這本書說明了史達林國際政治宣傳機器的幕後計畫。根據俄國與波蘭文獻，作者詳細的研究成為第一份檢視蘇聯與波蘭政治宣傳者的相互作用，評價他們嘗試文化合作的結果。
史達林主義系統透過具說服力的政治宣傳，漸漸破壞蘇聯在國際間努力保護的普遍合法性。巴比拉奇同時強調蘇聯在國際文化擴展的限制與矛盾，解釋為何蘇聯在東歐成立不到五十年就瓦解。(Ramona)
