I will also be using bit's like this (see below), to attempt to emphasize certain points about awards. As well as, as you say the importance of "Old Russian heroes...Strategic operations were named after Tsar's generals Bagration and Rumyantsev. Introduction of orders Suvorov, Kutuzov, Nevsky was a part of the effort to tell Russian people that the land of their ancestors is at stake in this war." I will also make note of the usage of falsified awards, Like that of Private Alexandr Matrosov, he reportedly: “Threw himself in front of an enemy machine gun in an act of extreme sacrifice”. New research conducted in Soviet Archives has shown that he was only used for propaganda purposes during and after the war, and that he never actually performed the act he was posthumously decorated for. This elaborate series of lies was intended to intensify and strengthened unity throughout the Soviet Union and its peoples. The use of lies like this was used to reinforce the idea of Homo Sovieticus (Soviet Man) and how strong and powerful they were and therefore, in the Soviet mindset, how strong and powerful the whole Soviet Union was. [part of the above was taken from my third year paper, and so may be missing some quotes and footnotes ![]() ATB, Tom |
