Description

Explore a transformative era of Soviet history through the lens of travel and cultural exchange. In the Khrushchev era, the Soviet Union began to open its doors, encouraging citizens to look beyond their own borders. From the medieval towers of Tallinn's Old Town to the Romanian Black Sea coast and even the Eiffel Tower, travel became a way for people to connect with the wider world. This book examines how hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens crossed previously closed borders by the mid-1960s. It provides a deep look into the revolutionary integration of the Soviet Union into global processes of cultural exchange. Readers will learn how a de-Stalinizing nation participated in the transnational circulation of people and ideas, even as it navigated the anxieties of a changing political landscape. Part of the Oxford Studies in Modern European History series, this work is an essential read for students and historians interested in social and cultural history. It offers a unique perspective on how movement and tourism changed the relationship between the Soviet state and the global community.
