The red hotel: Moscow 1941, the Metropol Hotel, and the untold story of Stalin's propaganda war

| Zusammenfassung: | "In 1941, when German armies were marching towards Moscow, Lenin's body was moved from his tomb on Red Square and taken to Siberia. 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" |

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"</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="648" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Geschichte 1941-1945</subfield><subfield code="2">gnd</subfield><subfield

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" Geschichte 1941-1945 gnd rswk-swf Propaganda (DE-588)4076374-2 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Kriegsberichterstatter (DE-588)4279444-4 gnd rswk-swf Pressezensur (DE-588)4175666-6 gnd rswk-swf Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 gnd rswk-swf World War, 1939-1945 / Soviet Union / Propaganda Hotel Metropol (Moscow, Russia) / History / 20th century Communism / Social aspects / Soviet Union / History World War, 1939-1945 / Soviet Union World War, 1939-1945 / Journalists World War, 1939-1945 / Press coverage War correspondents / Soviet Union / History Soviet Union / History / 1925-1953 HISTORY / Russia & the Former Soviet Union Hotel Metropol (Moscow, Russia) Communism / Social aspects Journalists UdSSR, Sowjetunion Press coverage Propaganda War correspondents Soviet Union 1900-1999 History Sowjetunion (DE-588)4077548-3 g Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Kriegsberichterstatter (DE-588)4279444-4 s Propaganda (DE-588)4076374-2 s Pressezensur (DE-588)4175666-6 s Geschichte 1941-1945 z DE-604 Äquivalent Druck-Ausgabe, Hardcover 978-1-03-540130-7 Äquivalent Druck-Ausgabe, Paperback 978-1-03-540131-4 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-63936-428-2 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034570299&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034570299&sequence=000003&line_number=0002&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Literaturverzeichnis Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=034570299&sequence=000005&line_number=0003&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Register // Gemischte Register |
