A campaign of “sentimental education”, i. e. an education for “real love”, took place in the Soviet Union during the 1960s. Soviet authorities, writers, filmmakers, as well as common people, started to differentiate between the language of love and the language of power. An autonomous site of intimacy was created at which many interests intersected. The authorities tried to control amorous speech and feeling, in order to turn them into something that had to be learned. Readers and viewers now had to face a completely new task, since, paradoxically, they were asked to act as autonomous subjects while subjected to manipulation by the Soviet pedagogy. The Soviet media indoctrinated the readers and viewers to imitate; they also supported critical interpretation and a reflective observation of the self and others.
