Product Description
In 1918 the People’s Commissariat of Broadcast Health started a quest to protect the health of all Soviet citizens, but health became more than a political platform or a tactical choice. The Soviets defined and categorized the world by interpreting political accepted view and citizenship in terms of hygiene. The assumed political, social, and cultural benefits of a regulated, healthy lifestyle informed the construction of Soviet institutions and identity. Cleanliness developed into a political statement that extended from domestic maintenance to leisure choices and exposed gender, ethnic, and class prejudices. Dirt denoted the past and poor politics; health and cleanliness signified mental acuity, political accepted view, and modernity. Health, though essential to the revolutionary thought and crucial to Soviet plans for utopia, has been neglected by habitual histories caught up in Cold War debates.The Body Sovietrecovers this significant aspect of Soviet plotting by providing a thwart-disciplinary, comparative history of Soviet health programs that draws upon rich sources of health care propaganda, including posters, plays, museum displays, films, and mock trials. The analysis of propaganda makesThe Body Sovietmore than an institutional history; it is also an insightful critique of the ideologies of the body fabricated by health organizations.
