The first half of the book is devoted to examination of the background of the current crisis; the second half covers major ideological tendencies,  conservative, '  neo-Stalinist, ' and  liberal.' Shlapentokh shows how Gorbachev has gradually absorbed much, but by no means all, of the  liberal' ideology but concludes that future prospects for liberalizing tendencies are highly uncertain. . . . Shlapentokh's insights make this first comprehensive treatment of Soviet ideology in the Gorbachev era one of the more significant studies of the USSR in recent years. \u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe mid-1970s found almost all spheres of Soviet society in economic, social, and moral decline, a decline that generated conflicting ideologies offering solutions. \u003ci\u003eSoviet Ideologies in the Period of Glasnost\u003c\/i\u003e provides a penetrating examination of these unofficial ideologies, both historically and analytically, based upon studies of Soviet media, literature, films, underground literature, and Western scholarly works.
