"Soviet Attitudes Toward Authority was originally published as a research study under the auspices of the Rand Corporation." 148p. 7 appendices. index. anthropology. sociology. politics. psychology. world history. political philosophy ~ This interdisciplinary study of some aspects of Soviet character sets out to examine the attitude of the Soviet citizen toward the people who control his life and his way of living~the Party officials, the secret police, the leaders of industry, agriculture, and the youth organizations. Since direct study within the U.S.S.R. was impossible, Dr. Mead and the members. of the research group who prepared this. material followed patterns set up during World War II for the study of inaccessible countries. An intensive examination was made of Soviet newspapers, professional journals, films, and records of Party congresses, and selected emigres were interviewed. The basic research was carried out in the Russian language. This has resulted in a number of new insights into one aspect of Soviet character. Soviet Attitudes Toward Authority draws on material from different areas of study ~economics, politics, literature~ to present a picture of the character of the Soviet citizen from various angles, as he plays his several roles as parent, worker, reader, soldier. The author, bearing in mind the traditional Russian attitude toward authority as it was established under the rule of the Tsars, is able to show how the character of modern Soviet man is changing as his institutions change within the limits of the historical setting.
