Alumni College: Sound of Stalinism: Music/Politics in Cold War Europe with Prof. David Tompkins

In this presentation, David Tompkins, Associate Professor of History and Director of European Studies, provides context, plays some of the 'hit' mass songs of the era, and offers a brief coda on music in Russia today.
