Introduction: Crossing Borders -- 1. "There's No Place Like Home:" Soviet Tourism in Late Stalinism -- 2. Estonia as the Soviet Abroad -- 3.

Film Tourism: From Iron Curtain to Silver Screen -- Epilogue.

Summary: "In the Khrushchev era, Soviet citizens were newly encouraged to imagine themselves exploring the medieval towers of Tallinn's Old Town, relaxing on the Romanian Black Sea coast, even climbing the Eiffel Tower. By the mid 1960s, hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens each year crossed previously closed Soviet borders to travel abroad. All this is your World explores the revolutionary integration of the Soviet Union into global processes of cultural exchange in which a de-Stalinizing Soviet Union increasingly, if anxiously, participated in the transnational circulation of people, ideas, and items. Anne E. Gorsuch examines what it meant to be "Soviet" in a country no longer defined as Stalinist. "--Publisher's website.
