Review: "Soviet Soft Power in Poland. Culture and the Making of Stalin's New Empire, 1943–1957" / Patryk Babiracki. Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 2015. ISBN: 78-1-4696-2089-3
- Of the myriad ways in which the Soviet Union attempted to exert control over its new vassal states in Eastern Europe after the Second World War, the use of 'soft power' – which US political scientist Joseph Nye described as 'the power of attraction'[1] – is undoubtedly the least studied. It is this topic that Texas-based historian Patryk Babiracki turns his attention to in his first book-length study, which forms part of 'The New Cold War History' series published by the University of North Carolina Press.
