Title: "Least Known to Americans": Content Materials about the Soviet Union in the 1940s and 1950s.
Authors: Rapoport, Anatoli
Source: Social Studies. Mar/Apr2006, Vol. 97 Issue 2, p56-61. 6p.
Subjects: Soviet studies, Information resources, Educators, Teachers, Communism, Teaching
Abstract: In this article, the author cites published sources that educators might have used or probably did use to teach about the Soviet Union in the 1940s and 1950s. The author shows that the appearance of those materials was congruent with the three phases of teacher motivation that he describes. Using the examples from Indiana's local papers of that period, the author shows how the political situation hindered the efforts of educators to present various, and sometimes opposing, views on the situation behind the Iron Curtain. He argues that printed materials about the Soviet Union in general corresponded with teachers' motivations to teach about the Soviet Union and, probably, determined the latter.
