By 1945, a victorious Stalin had turned a poor country into a victorious superpower. Over the course of those four years, Stalin, at Churchill's insistence, accepted an Anglo-American press corps in Moscow to cover the Eastern Front. To turn these reporters into Kremlin mouthpieces, Stalin imposed the most draconian controls--unbending censorship, no visits to the battle front, and a ban on contact with ordinary citizens. The Red Hotel explores this gilded cage of the Metropol Hotel. They enjoyed lavish supplies of caviar and had their choice of young women to employ as translators and share their beds. On the surface, this regime served Stalin well: his plans to control Eastern Europe as a Sovietized "outer empire" were never reported and the most outrageous Soviet lies went unchallenged. But beneath the surface the Metropol was roiling with intrigue. While some of the translators turned journalists into robotic conveyors of Kremlin propaganda, others were secret dissidents who whispered to reporters the reality of Soviet life and were punished with sentences in the Gulag"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Hotel Metropol (Moscow, Russia) $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Propaganda $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a Communism $x History. $z Soviet Union $x History. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z Soviet Union. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Journalists. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Press coverage. 650 0 $a War correspondents $z Soviet Union $x History. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union. $2 bisacsh 651 0 $a Soviet Union $x History $y 1925-1953. 941 $a 7 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011420.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20240316010255.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240302013436.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20231219010835.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230902010549.0 952 $l VBPC034 $d 20230812011117.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230805010259.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=61AA6F66335511EE8BFEB64C44ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
