metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: This article presents a study of daily life of the Soviet elite, the leading people of the Leningrad City
  Council (P.F.Ladanov, N.I.Smirnov) and the Leningrad Regional Council (I.P.Petrov, V.N.Ponomarev, G.I.Vorobyov) in 1950–1956. A historical analysis of emotions makes it possible to rethink the era by answering such
  questions as: Whom the Soviet elite did love, and whom did they fear during the period of late Stalinism and the
  beginning of the “Khrushchev thaw”? What was the official behavior of a state leader? How and under what circumstances did non-politicized emotions arise? The study is based on sources of a personal origin: materials of
  official speeches, published and unpublished reports, materials of personnel files (including autobiographies),
  photo documents and sound documents, and memoirs of contemporaries. Additionally, office documents
  (transcripts of meetings, plenums, meetings, council sessions) deposited in the archives of St. Petersburg and
  Moscow associated with the activities of local government in Leningrad and the oblast were studied. The period
  1950–1956 was when new, loyal managers were appointed to “empty” posts after the Leningrad Affair. One of the
  main tasks that confronted them in the first period was completing work on identifying “anti-party” elements in
  their ranks. In the leadership structures there was an atmosphere of suspicion and denunciation. Finally, tracing
  aspects of the transformation of these leading cadres at the beginning of the Thaw provides curious insights.
