V.L. Zemlyanskiy. National Democratic Faction of the Priamursky National assembly // Petersburg historical journal, no. 1, 2023, pp. 72–82

Abstract:
The article studies the formation of a group of National Democrats in Primorye and the activities of its group in the parliament of the Priamursky state formation. One of the features of the civil war in the Russian Far East was the presence of many governments that claimed supreme power in the region. One of these governments, the Provisional Priamursky Government, convened the highest representative (legislative) authority — the Priamursky National assembly. A group of National Democrats in Primorye arose at the end of 1920 and in May 1921 seized power in Southern Primorye. Having won the elections to the People’s Assembly in Vladivostok, the National Democrats became the most numerous factions. At the meetings of the parliament, they invariably supported all the initiatives of the supreme power, blocking the requests of the opposition. In the winter of 1921, the government’s unwillingness to reckon with the leaders of the National Democratic faction led to a break in joint work. The National Democrats took the lead in the struggle against the government of S.D. Merkulov, but were defeated, which led to the termination of the activities of the National assembly.

Keywords:
National Democrats, Priamursky National assembly, Priamursky state formation, Provisional Priamursky Government, parliamentarism, S.D.Merkulov.

The article analyzes the trends of Westernization of consumption in Soviet urban society at the end of the Great Patriotic War (1945–1949). The author argues that the campaign against bourgeois values began even before the official announcement of the policy of isolation from foreign culture and opposition to cosmopolitanism. The fight against Western consumerism was waged in an environment of total scarcity and the low quality of domestic production, so that the media themselves largely formed an aura of prestige around foreign consumer goods. This led to the formation of a new culture of consumption, with a characteristic Soviet citizens’ desire to buy goods of foreign rather than domestic production.
