Cover Illustration by Roger Huyssen. THE EMPIRE: A nation of huge size and potential confronts major problems, including a demographic time bomb in its burgeoning Muslim population. The Brezhnev era has been a period of unprecedented stability, for which most citizens are grateful, but has the leadership prepared well for the future?. THE MILITARY: An elite officer corps and all the conscripts an army could want make the U.S.S.R.'s fighting machine the envy of military experts the world over. For nearly all Soviet males, the draft-with rough, spartan years in uniform at almost no pay-is a way of life, with reserve obligations until age 50. Images: Red for the revolution, of course, but also the amber of vast wheatfields, the blue tinge on new-fallen snow and a thousand other tints and shades. Unlike the cliche conception of a gray monolith, the Soviet Union is a blazing canvas of hues and vistas. A seven-page visual portfolio of an Empire. ECONOMY BUSINESS: After more than a half century of unquestioned progress, the Soviet economy is in the midst of a serious slump. For the hidden entrepreneurs who "live on the left," crime often pays. Turning out tractors in Minsk with banners and "thirteenth pay" bonuses. MEDICINE: Despite having one-fourth of the world's doctors and numerous internationally recognized medical centers, health care in the Soviet Union is surprisingly primitive for a developed country. The emergency ambulance service, however, is a model of efficiency and speed. DANCE: One of Moscow's cultural marvels, the Bolshoi Ballet, carries on a great tradition of lavish spectacle and virtuoso dancing. But defections and widespread dissension in its ranks have thrown the troupe, along with its embattled Director Yuri Grigo- rovich, into something of an artistic crisis. ENERGY: Much like the U.S., but for different reasons, the Soviet Union confronts an uncertain energy future. RELIGION: The revolution set out to destroy the church, yet six decades later Russian Orthodoxy lives and prospers. CINEMA: The best films have the look and feel of their Western counterparts, while censors keep the content bland. PRESS: Pravda means truth, and the nation's leading daily prints the party version. The world according to Dunayev. LAW: Far from fading away, courts are now central to the litigious Soviet way of life. Youth crime on the rise. SPORT: What makes Ivan run? An athletic program designed to shape up the masses and build an Olympic elite. SCIENCE: Encouraged by the Kremlin but handicapped by the system, Soviet scientists move to close the gap with the West. EDUCATION: The Soviet Johnny can read, and he's not bad at science and math. In school, it's drill, drill, drill-six days a week. BOOKS: In a nation of readers, writing encompasses a world of fiction-from potboilers to sci-fi to experimental tales. BEHAVIOR: Psychiatric treatment, featuring drugs, talk therapy and insulin shock, has a dark side. ______ Use 'Control F' to search this page. * NOTE: OUR content description is GUARANTEED accurate for THIS magazine.
