Within just a few years of Stalin\u2019s death in 1953, the Soviet Union had sent the first artificial satellite, Sputnik, into orbit. An era of renewal and excitement beckoned. Speaking to Danny Bird, Robert Hornsby tells the story of how Soviet society embraced the 1960s \u2013 from new prospects for women, to faith in the energy of the young \u2013 before the era\u2019s promise was snuffed out by the Prague Spring of 1968.<\/p>\n\n
