Abstract

A study of the Soviet press' portrayal of the geneva conference and the Western powers provides an insight into the role of the press in shaping public opinion for the state and against the West. Furthermore, the image of Soviet-American relations in the press undercuts the tense reality of tension between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. The glowing reviews of the 1955 geneva conference contrast starkly with the negative portrayal of the Western statesmen and their reaction to the "spirit of geneva" in the following months. The summit for the Foreign Ministers of the four powers in attendance at the conference, France, Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, was portrayed as an uphill battle for the Soviet officials to make policies that would reduce international tensions. Using Western news sources and statements by Western officials, the Soviet press created an image of the geneva conference and the Ministers' conference that followed as events in which the Soviet Union tried earnestly to pursue détente with the West, and was met with staunch opposition.
