Favourable geography: Canada’s Arctic signals intelligence mission / Wark, Wesley   Journal Article
Wark, Wesley Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The Canadian signals intelligence effort during the Cold War was forged in the late 1940s and 1950s with a focus on the interceptions and processing of communications from the Soviet Arctic. Canadian authorities struggled hard to build capacity for this important mission, win bureaucratic battles at home, and convince our key SIGINT partners, the US and UK, that Canada should be granted status as the controlling agency for signals intelligence against the target-rich Soviet north. The story of the origins of Canada’s Arctic SIGINT mission has remained highly classified until now.

From New Socialist Cities to Thaw Experimentation in Arctic Townscapes: Leningrad Architects Attempt to Modernise the Soviet North / Kalemeneva, Ekaterina   Journal Article
Kalemeneva, Ekaterina Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The article examines a crucial shift in models of domestication of the Soviet Far North during the Thaw period. The closure of the Gulag system and the social transformations of the 1950s caused changes in the social space of the Soviet North and in the role of expert knowledge in the USSR. By focusing on modernist urban projects for the Soviet Arctic, I analyse how urban specialists during the Thaw attempted to formulate a new conception of the North as a place for ‘ordinary life’ and therefore transform a peripheral region into an ‘average’ Soviet space.
