Samenvatting | Pavlik was known across the USSR as the boy who had told on his father when he undermined attempts to collectivize the village. In revenge he was killed by the kulaks, richer peasants who resented Soviet power. Kelly demonstrates how Soviet propaganda worked in different ages, beginning with the creation of the Pavlik myth. What had in reality been a case of inter-familial violence, a simple peasant domestic in a rough and unyielding Ural village, was transformed into an example of 'wrecking' by the rich peasants who would do anything to prevent the 'glorious' transformation of the countryside along Soviet lines. |
