Ideological debates and Eastern Europe. 520 Jonathan Valdez explores the role of ideology in the maintenance and subsequent collapse of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe. He looks at how Marxism-Leninism was used to legitimize Soviet influence in Eastern Europe, to rationalize policy decisions, to communicate Soviet intent and policy desires to East European elites, and to explain change in socialist systems. The author argues that the use of the fundamental principles of Marxism-Leninism to perform various functions ultimately brought about a change in the basic assumptions of the theory itself. 580 HU OSA 300 - RFE/RL collection 650 0 Ideology. 650 0 Communism |zEurope, Eastern. 651 0 Europe, Eastern |xPolitics and government |y1945-1989. 651 0 Soviet Union |xForeign relations |zEurope, Eastern. 651 0 Europe, Eastern |xForeign relations |zSoviet Union. 880 |6245 942 |2ddc |cBK 952 |00 |10 |2ddc |40 |6327_470000000000000_VAL |70 |8GEN |9163830OSA |bOSA |d2024-02-14 |eRFE/RL |l0 |o327.47 VAL |r2024-02-14 |w2024-02-14 |yBK |cOSA Repository 920 01 leP3JNYy 992 01 327_470000000000000_VAL |bWXS_VSZZZZZZZZZZZZZ_4PE 966 |cIn the Research Room
