Did Soviet communism really pose a legitimate threat to the West?
Did Soviet communism in the end pose a legitimate threat to the West?
No kidding..You have in mind?
World Domination and converting the Entire World and Human Race to Communism was pretty much a stated object of The former Soviet Union. About the only thing that stopped them from achieving these goals for nearly 50 years was the Military might of the Allied States. What do You think the Cold War was all about?
It was, in My opinion, one of the most fortunate things that ever happened in all recorded Human histosry when Ronald Reagan artificial them to spend thier economy right into the grave in the 1980's
I can't say that the New Russia is terribly friendly all around these days either, what with thier fortify of those wackos in Iran and the recent Bomber Flights off America's coasts.

If We hadn't "interefered" in other countries as much as We did then honesty now You'd be going around saying "Comrade" an awful lot and paying Your monthly Party dues. If everyone in the On cloud nine had an attitude like You then either Hitler or Stalin would have run the whole show.
Thanks for the Thumbs Down while Your at it. The truth hurts don't it?

You'll be waiting a weighty long time. Militarily speaking Russia is a joke right now. And China? Don't make Me off, purely third rate.

It produce around 100 millions of ak-47 and thousands of tanks and planes. The Soviet Uniting was a militar country with a military economy system. Finally, the Sovien Union had like 25 000 atomic weapons. HUMMM>>> yes it was a threat.
How does the art of soviet communism differ from the art in Nazi Germany?
Hi.. I'm looking for one way in which they are various
the art of soviet communism vs the art of Nazi germany.
Thanks guy! anything you know will be great
For the most part both political movements produced massive amounts of propaganda (generally appealing artwork that is designed to rapidly "present information in order to influence its audience"). This means that both mostly produced rightist, realistic images that were accessible to the largest possible audience.
Nazi artists positioned themselves as much more constantly opposed to the avant-garde. The Nazi state coined this more modern outlook as "rake art." "Such art was banned on the grounds that it was un-German or Jewish Bolshevist in nature." Nazis went so far as to restrain an exhibit of such art that included the works of, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Alexander Archipenko, Marc Chagall, James Ensor, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh. Nazis also created a piece-exhibit of "Great German Art" that was composed mostly of second-rate propagandist artists that produced the twaddle that I mentioned in the first paragraph. Ironically, the Degnerate Art exhibit, "Attracted over two million visitors, approximately three and a half times the number that visited the nearby," Great German Art exhibit. Even a German celebrated that was sympathetic to the Nazi cause found the avant-garde works of higher merit. High-ranking Nazi Hermann Göknell took some pieces of this degenerate art into his personal collection.
By contrast, certain points within the rising of the communist social gathering (Pre-Stalin) in Russia saw a great interest in the avant-garde. Soviet experimental cinema led to such great directors as Segei Eisenstein. Anciently Soviets saw the avant-garde as a way to sweep away the more conservative bourgeois arts such as realistic and plein air painting. The theoretical became a vehicle for the propaganda.
This changed when Stalin assumed power. He favored a more conservative style that gave grow to Socialist Realism. Like its Nazi counterparts, this realism was appreciated by a broader public. A moment Stalin branded the avant-garde (much as Hitler and the Nazis did) as decadent and anti-social. "Soviet art at this formerly aimed to depict the worker as he truly was, carrying his tools. In a sense, the movement mirrors the despatch of American and Western art, where the everyday human being became the subject of the novel, the play, poetry, and art. The proletariat was at the center of communist ideals; hence, his viability was a worthy subject for study."
In short, Nazis consistently held that the avant-garde was falling off and socialist, so they produced a conservative style of propaganda. Soviets initially held that conservative, practical painting was bourgeois and decadent, so they embraced the avant-garde as a way to usher in the modern era of Soviet socialism. This meant new and pr forms, new media (film) and new means of performance (Stanislavski's method acting). But once Stalin gained power, he leveled many of the same criticisms against the avant-garde that the Nazis did, which led to a similarly right-winger style of realistic depiction.
