45. Foreign and domestic policy of the USSR in the mid-1950s - early 1960s

In the socio-political sphere, the last years of the reign of I. V. Stalin (1945-1953) were marked by the strengthening of total control over the spiritual life of the country.

During the war years, a new generation of people appeared who were able to think independently. In addition, many of the soldiers had the opportunity to see how the standard of living in Europe differed from the Soviet one. The majority of the country's population hoped for some liberalization and democratization of the political regime (including party members).

It should be noted that some steps have been taken in this direction. Thus, the GKO was abolished, the collectivity in the work of the Soviets increased, and the congresses of public and political organizations resumed. AT 1946 BC The SNK was transformed into the Council of Ministers. AT 1952 BC The CPSU(b) was renamed the CPSU. However, there were no changes in the ideological sphere, moreover, the isolation of the USSR from foreign countries increased (campaigns to combat cosmopolitanism). The transformations did not affect the state security systems and the Gulag, but with 1948 BC A new round of repression began, the victims of which were at least 6 million people.

In the field of foreign policy, the main directions of the course of the USSR were:

1) consolidation of influence in the liberated countries of Eastern Europe (socialist camp);

2) a peace-loving policy towards Western countries with a simultaneous buildup of military power for the forcible establishment of socialism in other countries (not excluding Western Europe).

At the same time, the doctrines of "containment of communism" and "rejection of communism" are becoming the main trends in Western politics. By the end of the 1940s. The influence of the United States in the countries of Western Europe was noticeably strengthened, at the same time, pro-Soviet regimes were established in the countries of Eastern Europe, which became one of the reasons for the emergence of the Cold War phenomenon. AT 1949 BC there is a Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA) for the "countries of people's democracy", supplemented in 1955 by the Warsaw Pact Organization (OVD). As a counterbalance to these organizations, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is created, and the production of atomic weapons begins. The first conflicts between the two superpowers arise (Korean War 1950-1953).

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

Bioink for 3D printing of human tissues 13.02.2020

Bioengineers from Rutgers University (USA) have developed "bioink" for 3D printing of materials that could serve as a scaffold for growing human tissues. Printed fabrics can repair or replace damaged human tissues.

In the new system, hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol serve as the main "ink cartridges" for 3D printing. Hyaluronic acid, a natural molecule found in many body tissues, has properties that are ideal for creating custom tissue scaffolding, but it lacks the necessary strength. So engineers at Rutgers University used modified versions of hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol to make a gel that is strengthened by chemical reactions and acts as a scaffold for tissue growth.

In the future, the new system will have other "ink cartridges" with various cells and ligands, which serve as binding elements for tissue cells. The system will print gel scaffolds with the right stiffness, cells and ligands, depending on the type of tissue to be obtained.
