" Sweet Ideology of Soviet Space Dogs during Cold War."
Dr. Turkina’s talk will discuss the intermingling of science and ideology surrounding the dogs used in the Soviet Space Program and its impact on Soviet domestic policies during the Cold War. She will explore the different ways the space dogs were used in propaganda artifacts, including postcards, stamps, and even cigarette boxes. Additionally, she will compare public reception of art related to the Soviet space program during the time it was created (1960s-80s) and how it is perceived now.
