This book, in considering how such policies were implemented in Azerbaijan, argues that the Soviet policies were in fact a form of imperialism, with 'nation building' and 'modernization' imposed firmly along Soviet lines. The book demonstrates that in Azerbaijan, and more widely among western Turkic peoples, the Volga and Crimean Tatars, there were before the onset of Soviet rule long standing, well developed, forward looking, secular, national movements, which were not at all 'backward' and which had different visions to the Soviets. The book shows how in the period 1920 to 1940 the two different visions competed with each other, with eventually the pre-Soviet vision of Azerbaijani culture losing out, and the Soviet version prevailing. The book examines the details of this Sovietization of culture: in language policy and the change of the alphabet, in education, higher education and in literature. The book concludes by exploring how pre-Soviet Azerbaijani culture survived to a degree underground, and how it was partially rehabilitated after the death of Stalin and more fully in the late Soviet period"--Provided by publisher. 648 7 1900 - 1999 |2fast 650 0 Politics and culture |zAzerbaijan |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Ethnicity |xPolitical aspects |zAzerbaijan |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Social change |zAzerbaijan |xHistory |y20th century. 650 0 Imperialism |xHistory |y20th century. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008104314 650 7 Cultural policy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00885007 650 7 Ethnicity |xPolitical aspects. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00916047 650 7 Imperialism. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00968126 650 7 International relations. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 Politics and culture. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01069952 650 7 Politics and government. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Social change. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01122310 650 7 Social conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919811 651 0 Azerbaijan |xPolitics and government |y20th century. 651 0 Azerbaijan |xSocial conditions |y20th century. 651 0 Azerbaijan |xCultural policy. 651 0 Soviet Union |xCultural policy. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008117062 651 0 Azerbaijan |xRelations |zSoviet Union. 651 0 Soviet Union |xRelations |zAzerbaijan. 651 7 Azerbaijan. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01260665 651 7 Soviet Union. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210281 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 Routledge studies in the history of Russia and Eastern Europe ; |v27. 852 0 |bf |hDK697.3 |i.A46 2016 902 kl |bs |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20160912 904 kl |ba |hm |cb |e20160912 914 (OCoLC)ocn933587952 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240710 |eprocessed |f933587952
