The role of Finnish leftists in Soviet-Finnish artistic exchanges during the late socialist period

2020

The article examines artistic exchanges between the USSR and Finland from the viewpoint of the Finnish left. After WWII, Finland was in a difficult geopolitical position; although not occupied by the USSR, it received little support from the West and so remained an independent capitalist democracy, with little foreign leverage. The Soviet influence was felt in many areas, and throughout the Cold War, Finland received many more world-class Soviet artists than any other Western country. This was in part a consequence of Finland’s proximity to the USSR, but the Finnish Communist Party, a major domestic political force, also played a role. Immediately after the war, organizations associated wit…

In the shadow of technology

2016

The study of the cultural Cold War and East–West interaction outside diplomacy and high politics has emerged as an important research field during the last two decades. With a few exceptions, however, scholarly interaction has been overshadowed by other forms of interaction. Existing research has mostly paid attention to technological exchange and to espionage, which was at times connected with scientific exchanges across the Iron Curtain. This article discusses scholarly exchanges in the human sciences between Finland and the Soviet Union. Even though Finland was a western-style democracy with a market economy, it had close political ties with the Soviet Union, which allowed for the devel…

Neuvostoliiton kulttuurivaihto-ohjelmat – kulttuurista kylmää sotaa vai diplomatiaa?

2011

Stalinin kuolemaa seuranneina vuosina Neuvostoliitto käynnisti mittavan kulttuurivaihto-ohjelmien sarjan. Huippuluokan neuvostoartistit vyöryivät länsimaisille areenoille. Rajoja avattiin turismille, laajennettiin ulkomaille suuntautunutta radiotoimintaa, ryhdyttiin vaihtamaan radio- ja televisio-ohjelmia myös länsimaiden kanssa, solmittiin ystävyyskaupunkisopimuksia ja osallistuttiin näyttävästi kansainvälisiin messuihin ja näyttelyihin. Simo Mikkonen käsittelee neuvostoajan kulttuurivaihto-ohjelmia ja pohtii niiden perimmäistä olemusta. peerReviewed

Mass Communications as a Vehicle to Lure Russian Émigrés Homeward

2011

After the millions of wartime displaced citizens had been forcibly returned to the Soviet Union after the Second World War, the Soviet Union inaugurated a new type of campaign in the mid-1950s to get all the remaining Soviet citizens and former émigrés from Sovietoccupied areas to migrate back. In this campaign, the Soviets used all the means of mass communication they were able to produce, especially radio combined with the press and direct contact with people. The campaign was not very successful, at least not among the people it was supposed to lure back: people residing in Europe. However, many people, especially from Latin America, migrated back to the Soviet Union, only to be disappoi…

The study is concerned with the worlds of heroes in Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's novel The First Circle. The main methodological principle is tracing and analysing the point of view of the hero and the ways in which it is narrated (>close reading=).
