Stalin's Cultural Legacy
Organised by the Centre for Russian and East European Cultural Studies (CREECS)
University of Bristol
Saturday 15th March 2003

The figure of Iosif Stalin has cast a long shadow over twentieth century 
history and, over a decade since the fall of the Soviet Union, his impact 
continues to dominate many social and political agendas. In the cultural 
sphere Stalin's influence, both during and after his lifetime, was pervasive 
and has most frequently been described as fundamentally negative. Reputedly 
one of the chief authors of the doctrine of Socialist Realism and a staunch 
opponent of modernism, Stalin is often regarded as having held the Soviet 
Union back, and as responsible for a lost generation of cultural 
development, experimentation and production. In March 2003 it will be fifty 
years since the death of Stalin. This marks an interesting juncture at which 
to explore precisely what has been and, indeed, what might continue to be 
the cultural legacy of Stalin and Stalinism. This conference aims to explore 
the notion of Stalin's legacy both during and after his lifetime within the 
broad cultural arena.

Contributions are welcomed which will consider Stalin's cultural legacy in a 
wide range of fields including, painting, cinema, photography, theatre, 
literature, music and popular culture. Please sent an abstract of c.200 
words by 16th December 2002 to:
