Internationalist Nation-Builders: Youth under Brezhnev in the Soviet South

Stefan B. Kirmse

Europe-Asia Studies, 2022, vol. 74, issue 7, 1254-1277

Abstract: This essay discusses the interplay of nationalism and internationalism amongst Soviet youth from the 1960s to the early 1980s, arguing that there was much that united the language, underlying concepts and problems of these political agendas. More than that: they were mutually constitutive, while mobilising youth and generating enthusiasm and anger on a large scale. At the same time, national and international questions became more republicanised in these years: they were experienced and tackled differently across the republics. To show this, the essay discusses a range of archival materials and published sources from Soviet Armenia, Central Asia and Ukraine.
