WHAT DOES SOVIETIZE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sovietization

Sovietization is term that may be used with two distinct meanings: ▪ the adoption of a political system based on the model of soviets. ▪ the adoption of a way of life and mentality modelled after the Soviet Union. A notable wave of Sovietization occurred during and after World War II in Eastern Europe. In a broad sense, this included adoption of Soviet-like institutions, laws, customs, traditions and the Soviet way of life, both on a national level and in smaller communities. This was usually promoted and speeded up by propaganda aimed at creating a common way of life in all states within the Soviet sphere of influence. In many cases, Sovietization was also accompanied by forced resettlement of large categories of "class enemies" to the Gulag labor camps and exile settlements. In a narrow sense, the term Sovietization is often applied to mental and social changes within the population of the Soviet Union and its satellites which led to creation of the new Soviet man or Homo Sovieticus.
