7 THE GREAT BREAK The ‘Great Break’ is the name for a rapid growth of industrialization and the collectivization of agriculture from It also entailed an attack on so-called ‘capitalist’ elements, and thus meant the abandonment of NEP and an attack on rich peasants – so-called kulaks – in the countryside.

8 INTELLIGENTSIA The intelligentsia were a strata of the population who emerged in Russia in the mid-nineteenth century. The ‘intelligentsia’ must be differentiated from ‘intellectuals’ by virtue of the fact that the former saw themselves as a progressive, often messianic, force driving forward social change. Their identity was formed in opposition to the ruling elites. Socially, many intelligenty were of noble origin, and members of the raznochintsy.

9 NEP NEP or ‘New Economic’ policy marked the return of market forces and private enterprise into the Soviet economy after a period of ‘War Communism’ during the Civil War. While the policy led to a period of economic recovery and was supported by Lenin, it angered many Bolsheviks who saw it as a betrayal of Marxist principles.

10 ZHDANOVISM Zhdanovism, or the ‘Zhdanovshchina’, is the name given to a freezing of the cultural, political, and social atmosphere in the mid- to late-1940s. It encompassed a series of xenophobic, and often anti-semitic policies under the umbrella of ‘anti- cosmopolitanism’, alongside a series of Party resolutions condemning so-called ‘formalism’. The term refers to Andrei Zhdanov, the Central Committee member in charge of cultural matters.

11 THE THAW ‘The Thaw’ is the name given to a period of liberalisation after the death of Stalin. Taking its name from a novel by celebrated writer Ilia Ehrenburg, the term is now used by historians to signify a ‘thawing’ of the cultural and social atmosphere after and, in particular, a renunciation of terror as a mode of governance and increased possibilities for debate.

12 GLASNOST’ Glasnost’, or openness, is the name given to one of Mikhail Gorbachev’s key policies. Deriving from the Russian word golos, or ‘voice’, the term expresses the idea that open discussion of the country’s problems was necessary for the country to move forward. Often used interchangeably with the term ‘perestroika’ [reconstruction], the logic of this policy eventually led to the Soviet media printing and broadcasting more stories about social and political problems and the abandonment of censorship.
