<h3><strong>Public Service Through the Spoken Word (G-4)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
Radio Free Asia also has a website that serves as an alternative way of reaching its potential audience. This website offers enriched content and detailed coverage of all of the key issues ongoing in Vietnam, with a primary focus on democracy, civil society and human rights. Although Vietnam has one of the region’s highest Internet penetration growth rates, the nation blocks the Radio Free Asia website and thereby prevents its approximately 40 million Internet users from accessing a source of independent and vital information unless such users circumvent the censorship by using secure browsers and virtual private networks (VPNs).
Based on Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia (FRA), was established in the 1990’s, with the aim of promoting democratic values and human rights, and diminishing the Communist Party control of China. RFA is funded by a grant from the U.S. Agency for Global Media (formerly the "Broadcasting Board of Governors"), an independent agency of the United States government. In 2017, RFA and other networks, such as Voice of America, were put under the newly created U.S. Agency for Global Media, an independent federal agency. RFA is the only station outside of China that broadcasts in the Uygur-language. As a result, Radio Free Asia has been recognized for playing a vital role in exposing Xinjiang re-education camps. The New York Times considers RFA to be one of the few reliable sources of information about Xinjiang.
RFA broadcasts news and relevant information to the nations of China, Tibet, North Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Burma.
RFA adheres to the highest journalistic standards of objectivity, accuracy, and fairness, as defined in the code of ethics for its reporters and editors. In countries and regions with little or no access to accurate and timely journalism, as well as alternative opinions and perspectives, RFA’s nine language services fill a crucial gap. RFA aims to retain the greatest confidence among its audiences and to serve as a model on which others may shape their own emerging journalistic traditions.
RFA is a private, nonprofit corporation, funded by the U.S. Congress through the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which is an independent federal government agency that oversees all U.S. civilian international media. In addition to providing oversight for RFA's radio broadcasts and the like, the USAGM works with RFA to ensure the professional independence and integrity of its journalism.

Description
An account of the resource
"Tear down this wall", also known as the Berlin Wall Speech, was a speech delivered by United States President Ronald Reagan in West Berlin on June 12, 1987. Reagan called for the General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, to open the Berlin Wall, which had separated West and East Berlin since 1961. The name is derived from a key line in the middle of the speech: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" <br /><br />Arriving in Berlin on Friday, June 12, 1987, President and Mrs. Reagan were taken to the Reichstag, where they viewed the wall from a balcony. Reagan then made his speech at the Brandenburg Gate at 2:00 pm, in front of two panes of bulletproof glass. <br /><br />That afternoon, Reagan said, 'We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace. There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of freedom and peace. General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev...Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!'

<h3><strong>Russian Cartoons & Posters: From Red Tape to Red Square (G-1)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection consists of items from the art exhibit “Bureaucracy in Russian Art: Posters and Political Cartoons" (2010), produced by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, School of Public Affairs and Administration, in collaboration with the American University of Armenia and the Department of Sociology, St. Petersburg University, Russia. The collection features works that satirize bureaucracy.</p>
<p>Russian artists, like their American counterparts, have been calling our attention to conflicts between efficiency and ethics in organizational life, including ethical dilemmas faced by public servants; the unintended consequences for employees and clients of large bureaucratic organizational structures; and ways in which individuals are frustrated by, and cope with, large systems.</p>
<p>The exhibits in this gallery demonstrate the perception of the Russian artists that bureaucracy is dysfunctional, enervating, and inefficient, the antithesis of creativity, and a cancer in the social fabric. Their messages are, perhaps necessarily, negative. Their suggested solutions are seemingly superficial: use common sense, untangled red tape, treat people as human beings, and do not forget the organization’s objectives.</p>
<p>The display comprises primarily political cartoons and posters. Over a period of many decades political cartoons were disseminated in <strong><em>Krokodil </em></strong><em>(crocodile)</em>, a satirical magazine published in the former Soviet Union, as well as in other similar magazines. During the decades of the 1960s, 1970s and early in the 1980s a group of artists in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) known as the “Fighting Pencil,” produced anti-bureaucratic posters aimed to “open the boils on the body of the Soviet society.”</p>
<p>With the support of local officials, the anti-bureaucratic material was widely available throughout the Soviet Union and served to contend that bureaucracy was an obstacle to the success of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (the political and economic system), and warned that political and bureaucratic changes must go hand-in-hand.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
"Poet: Kapralova, V. (The poem is omitted)
“The Fighting Pencil” group, 1971
Text on the scroll (from bottom up):
“To:
27. Further raise the quality of presentations at meetings.
28. Implement progressive methods of efficient meeting conduct.
29. Meet and exceed meeting attendance quotas.
30. Better manage the procurement of water carafes.
31. Eliminate idle time of typists and stenographers.
32. Improve moderation practices at briefings and other short meetings.
33. Eliminate typing errors in the records of meeting proceedings.
34. Introduce new…
35. Adopt new methods…
36. …”
The poster’s criticism is aimed at the Soviet bureaucrats’ affinity for long and endless meetings, the obvious shallowness of the issues they discussed, and, mainly, at the fact that holding meetings became their primary and only function.
This cartoon was created in the years associated with economic stagnation and Leonid Brezhnev’s leadership. Overtly cautious and incapable of strategic thinking, he never made important political and economic decisions without extensively discussing them with other Politburo members. This tactics of “muddling through by balancing in the political middle” (Chubarov, 2001, 144) often lead to half measures and accumulations of unresolved problems. The indeterminate nature of his policies could not but impact the way government bureaucratic structures conducted their business. The artists recognized this fact and creatively expressed it."

An account of the resource
"Written on the papers: “Order, Instruction, Decree, Explanation to Paragraph No. 141, Supplement to Instruction No. 638, Item 45 of Order No. 651…”
Typical for the Soviet command-and-control type of administration, policies that had direct bearing on people’s lives were carried out not through a legislative process but by decrees of top leadership, put in place or withdrawn by their will (Eaton, 2004). There was no place for logic or common sense in routine decision making. As Solnick (1998) indicates: “Procedures and documentation mattered far more than any sort of Weberian rationality in guiding the behavior of policy makers”.

As Chubarov (2001) put it, in a rapidly changing world, it was the “revolution of the microchip and the computer” taking place in the West that jeopardized the Soviet Union’s status as a great power under Leonid Brezhnev. The inability to incorporate the latest scientific and technological innovations into the production processes became the lid that sealed the coffin of the Soviet economy.

Description
An account of the resource
"Poet: Yefimovski, Y.
He gave orders, many a task,
“Work harder!”—he was bellowing.
But he never left his desk
To check if team was following.
This is an apt illustration of how decisions are made under the authoritarian type of leadership. Analyzing Russia’s historical context can help explain the persistence of authoritarian decision-making throughout different political regimes. As Chubarov (2001) denotes, whatever the political system, autocracy is typical for the traditional Russian state: “The prerogatives of the Russian
leader—be it Moscow prince, all-Russian tsar, or Soviet general secretary—have traditionally been vast and autocratic and have also been hostile to pluralism”. At a smaller scale, this tendency was replicated at all key decision-making positions."

Description
An account of the resource
"Poet: Shkliarinsky, A. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1967
Young chickens better quit the squeak,
stop calling for attention:
New boss, the Fox, has a good hand… at cutting population.
Sign above the Bear’s table: “Human Resources Manager.”
The document the Fox is carrying reads:
“To Appoint––Ms. Fox as the manager of the poultry farm.”
Chubarov argues that in the Soviet Union “the system of elite recruitment evolved in such a way that party bosses controlled the personnel policy at their corresponding levels” (2001, p. 59). This, essentially, means that the Party held the monopoly on controlling who gets appointed or “elected” to posi6ons of authority in the party itself, government and all other important social structures—to the so-called nomenklatura posts.
According to Brown (1982), these are positions at various levels of the administrative hierarchy from the all-Union to the district level which are considered to be of political or economic importance and appointments to which must be approved by the party committee at that particular level. The choice is limited to people who are on the nomenklatura list and who have already, therefore, received the party’s attestation of political fitness. A place on the nomenklatura is also intended to be a guarantee of a certain level of ability, but… when people are removed from a responsible position because of shortcomings in their work, this fact is glossed over… and they are enabled to move to another nomenklatura post."

"Poet: Tumarinson, G. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1968
“Accurate and impartial consideration of complaints from the working popula6on should be an adamant rule. Meanwhile, there are cases of soulless rebuffs and inexorable delay of responses. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that these letters are sent for consideration to those officials whose actions were protested by the petitioners” (From the newspaper Pravda).
The Wolf has an office and mouth very loud,
He scolded the Hare and started to shout.
Offended, the weeping Hare
Brought his petition to the Bear.
The Bear didn’t probe too deeply into the act,
He resolved the problem as a matter of fact.
The end is obvious for the Hare:
He needed intensive health care.
PEOPLE WHO EXAMINE GRIEVANCES
SHOULDN'T FORGET INCIDENTS LIKE THIS. "

Description
An account of the resource
"The real interest of the party-state-managerial nomenklatura was “in maintaining at any cost their privileged position in society because it allowed them to grab the biggest share of the national product. The chief criteria of personnel selection within the nomenklatura were not competence or professionalism, but obedience and personal loyalty to leaders at the higher level. Administrators
and managers were not elected or even rotated, but were appointed through the nomenklatura networks of patronage and nepotism. The ruling elite was increasingly transformed into a privileged caste and an antielite, whose members stood above the law and the rest of society” (Chubarov, 2001, p. 146).
A. D. Sakharov, a great Soviet scientist and a well-known dissident, wrote in this regard:
The whole manner of getting a job and advancement is very strongly connected with the interrelationships within the system. Each important administrator has attached to him personally certain people who move with him from place to place as he is transferred. There is something irresistible about this and it seems to be a kind of law of our state structure (in Brown et al, 1982, p. 264)."

An account of the resource
"Poet: Shkliarinsky, V. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1973
The people choose to work in those places
That have well-organized and clean workspaces.
Although working conditions at Soviet enterprises had significantly improved since Stalin’s times, many of the issues still remained.
The biggest of them was labor safety. Among others were the run down physical conditions of buildings, lack of shower facilities, inadequate lighting and ventilation, unreliability of equipment due to age or poor quality of repairs."

<h3><strong>Russian Cartoons & Posters: From Red Tape to Red Square (G-1)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection consists of items from the art exhibit “Bureaucracy in Russian Art: Posters and Political Cartoons" (2010), produced by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, School of Public Affairs and Administration, in collaboration with the American University of Armenia and the Department of Sociology, St. Petersburg University, Russia. The collection features works that satirize bureaucracy.</p>
<p>Russian artists, like their American counterparts, have been calling our attention to conflicts between efficiency and ethics in organizational life, including ethical dilemmas faced by public servants; the unintended consequences for employees and clients of large bureaucratic organizational structures; and ways in which individuals are frustrated by, and cope with, large systems.</p>
<p>The exhibits in this gallery demonstrate the perception of the Russian artists that bureaucracy is dysfunctional, enervating, and inefficient, the antithesis of creativity, and a cancer in the social fabric. Their messages are, perhaps necessarily, negative. Their suggested solutions are seemingly superficial: use common sense, untangled red tape, treat people as human beings, and do not forget the organization’s objectives.</p>
<p>The display comprises primarily political cartoons and posters. Over a period of many decades political cartoons were disseminated in <strong><em>Krokodil </em></strong><em>(crocodile)</em>, a satirical magazine published in the former Soviet Union, as well as in other similar magazines. During the decades of the 1960s, 1970s and early in the 1980s a group of artists in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) known as the “Fighting Pencil,” produced anti-bureaucratic posters aimed to “open the boils on the body of the Soviet society.”</p>
<p>With the support of local officials, the anti-bureaucratic material was widely available throughout the Soviet Union and served to contend that bureaucracy was an obstacle to the success of Glasnost (openness) and Perestroika (the political and economic system), and warned that political and bureaucratic changes must go hand-in-hand.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
"Poet: Lezunov, B. “The Fighting Pencil” group, 1972
They give everything to the hero
But ignore the working team:
Here they set records
Only for show!
In the former Soviet Union the highest form of non-monetary appraisal was the honorary degree ""Hero of Socialist Labor"" (although, in an economy where almost everything was distributed and demand was overpowering supply, this could turn into material benefits as well). This title was usually awarded to people who set record achievements in industry, for example coal mining (although scientists who had inventions were sometimes also awarded this title). For public relations purposes, many organizations strove hard to have their own heroes of socialist labor, so they created exceptional conditions for some workers to excel, while ignoring the rest."
