This segment of Russian History with Dr.Brovkin discusses the formation of
the Soviet propaganda and censorship. What do the authorities do when they want to destroy competition in the realm of culture? They ban, they persecute, they censor and they arrest. What do they do when they aspire to change the cultural values, the standards of what is acceptable, the limits of cultural expression? They label alternative tastes as inimical, as destructive, and subversive, and they unleash the political police. This happened in Soviet Russia. Can it happen in your country today?
Dr. Brovkin is a Russian born American historian, now retired, used to serve as a Professor of Soviet History at Harvard University.
