Title	Organizovannyj vostorg. Vsemirnyj kongress druzej SSSR 1927 goda
Description	For the tenth anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution, approximately a thousand foreign guests arrived in Moscow, unexpectedly becoming delegates to the Congress of Friends of the USSR. This event was unique in the interwar history of Soviet Russia: an international event of such scale had not been held in the country until Khrushchev's thaw. Alexander Vatlin explores the genesis of the Congress, the stages of its preparation and implementation, as well as the consequences and receptions associated with the apparent collapse of the course toward world revolution. The author thoroughly analyses the selection mechanisms, the sentiments and behavior of the Congress delegates, and the organisational conflicts between key Soviet agencies during the preparation of the event, paying particular attention to representatives of the "bourgeois intelligentsia" sympathetic to the socialist experiment. The transformation of their a priori image of the new Russia was subsequently reflected in travelogues, which became an important addition to the source base of the study, based on archival materials introduced into scholarly circulation for the first time.
