impressive showpieces perpetuating ideology - e.g. Moscow Metro
emergence of New Soviet Man (true Communist)

1935
ornate, first underground railway system in USSR
how did the impressive showpieces and emergence of the New Soviet Man make the FYPs a political success?
peasant nation → modern superpower
socialism working
Stalin’s image enhanced
international prestige
nationalism = strengthens domestic control
people wanted to be involved in socialist cultural revolution
proletariat grew: people move from agricultural to industrial
how were the showpieces NOT successful?
propaganda ploys - e.g. Moscow Metro
11km, 13 stations
appearance > functionality = no benefit to workers’ lives
not dealing with transport issue

only 20% population = New Soviet Man
majority = disillusioned, sceptical survivor
accepting Communism without being enthusiastically invested
