| Summary/Abstract |
Using the case study of the Cold War Soviet Union, this article explores what it terms “domestic cultural diplomacy,” namely government actions within their own borders to positively impact the opinions of foreigners, which it distinguishes from “foreign cultural diplomacy,” referring to state efforts aimed outside of its own territory. The article examines a range of Soviet internal cultural activities that had the goal of convincing foreigners that the USSR possessed an appealing and modern popular culture. The conceptual framework of domestic cultural diplomacy, it suggests, opens new possibilities for scholarly research on diplomatic history and foreign policy.

The Soviet Union was an empire within which nations old and new developed, changed, and eventually became self-sufficient enough to opt out.

| Summary/Abstract |
What does it cost to do business under a dictator? In 1949 the Soviet state had entered its most secretive phase. One of the Gulag's most important secrets was the location of its labour camps. As this secret was guarded more closely, camps found it increasingly difficult to do business without disclosing a state secret: their own location. For months and then years Gulag officials worked around this dilemma, expending considerable efforts. Rather than resolve it, they eventually normalised it. This study of the transaction costs of an autocratic regime raises basic questions about how Soviet secrecy was calibrated.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article describes the interactions between Kursk Oblast’s civilian leadership and the Soviet military during the latter’s winter 1943 operations. In this period, the Red Army incorporated the liberated people into its rear services area while returning civilian leaders reestablished Soviet power. Operating at cross-purposes at times, both sides still found enough common cause to prepare the Red Army for its first summertime victory in the war. By examining the working relationship of the Red Army and the civilians situated so close to the enemy, this article offers new insights into an often overlooked region of the “home front” in studies of World War II.
