Khrushchev - Arts


  • American Showcase
  • World Youth Festival 1957
  • Style hunters - too into western styles - campaigns against
  • Space Race
  • "it looks to me like a little boy pissed on the floor" "Dogshit"  - reaction to art
  • Celebrating the achievements and life of Lenin not his death
  • The Thaw (book) allowed to be published despite being critical of Stalin
  • Gershwin allowed on the curriculum
  • Solhnitisyn - allowed to publish under Khrushchev and not Brezhnev - truth about gulags
  • The secretary - meant to criminalise style hunters people felt sympathy instead - backfired
