Aksyonov was born in the Russian city of Kazan and grew up under Stalin's rule. Askyonov's parents, although devoted communists, were accused of being Trotskyites and sent to gulags when he was still a child. Aksyonov was subsequently raised in an orphanage for \"children of enemies of the state\" before moving in with his aunt and uncle, who tried to keep the truth of his parents' disappearance a secret. He spent much of his youth listening to jazz and reading American novels, which would influence his work as much as the disenchantment and paranoia of life under Stalinism. ","Though trained as a medical doctor, Vassily Aksyonov gave up his medical career in the 1960s to pursue a career as a novelist. His 1961 novel, A Ticket to the Stars, drew a great deal of praise from readers and helped launch his career. His writings quickly became controversial as they celebrated Western popular culture and criticized life under Stalin and his successors. During the 1960s he wrote several plays that were denounced by the state press for spreading \"negativism,\" and after voicing public opposition to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, no publisher would print his work for the next 12 years, during which he worked as a translator to support his family. By the 1970s, Aksyonov had become one of the most popular prose writers in Russia, but his popularity only exacerbated his low standing with the communist party, which disapproved of his criticism and revoked his citizenship in 1980, when he decided to emigrate to the United States. Aksyonov settled in Washington, DC, where he taught literature and continued to write until moving back to Russia in 2004. ","During his stay in America, Aksyonov published several novels that he had kept hidden in drawers during the 1970s, including The Burn (1980) and The Island of Crimea (1983). His later works include In Search of Melancholy Baby (1987), Say Cheese (1989), Generations of Winter (1994), The Winter's Hero (1996), and The New Sweet Style (1999). Aksyonov taught at The Johns Hopkins University and Goucher University before coming to George Mason University, where he taught from 1988 to 2004, when he moved back to Russia to live out his remaining years. He died in 2009. ","Processed by Vera Zimmerman in 2011. EAD markup completed by Eron Ackerman and Jordan Patty in August 2009.

Aksyonov was born in the Russian city of Kazan and grew up under Stalin's rule. Askyonov's parents, although devoted communists, were accused of being Trotskyites and sent to gulags when he was still a child. Aksyonov was subsequently raised in an orphanage for \"children of enemies of the state\" before moving in with his aunt and uncle, who tried to keep the truth of his parents' disappearance a secret. He spent much of his youth listening to jazz and reading American novels, which would influence his work as much as the disenchantment and paranoia of life under Stalinism. ","Though trained as a medical doctor, Vassily Aksyonov gave up his medical career in the 1960s to pursue a career as a novelist. His 1961 novel, A Ticket to the Stars, drew a great deal of praise from readers and helped launch his career. His writings quickly became controversial as they celebrated Western popular culture and criticized life under Stalin and his successors. During the 1960s he wrote several plays that were denounced by the state press for spreading \"negativism,\" and after voicing public opposition to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968, no publisher would print his work for the next 12 years, during which he worked as a translator to support his family. By the 1970s, Aksyonov had become one of the most popular prose writers in Russia, but his popularity only exacerbated his low standing with the communist party, which disapproved of his criticism and revoked his citizenship in 1980, when he decided to emigrate to the United States. Aksyonov settled in Washington, DC, where he taught literature and continued to write until moving back to Russia in 2004. ","During his stay in America, Aksyonov published several novels that he had kept hidden in drawers during the 1970s, including The Burn (1980) and The Island of Crimea (1983). His later works include In Search of Melancholy Baby (1987), Say Cheese (1989), Generations of Winter (1994), The Winter's Hero (1996), and The New Sweet Style (1999). Aksyonov taught at The Johns Hopkins University and Goucher University before coming to George Mason University, where he taught from 1988 to 2004, when he moved back to Russia to live out his remaining years. He died in 2009. ","Processed by Vera Zimmerman in 2011. EAD markup completed by Eron Ackerman and Jordan Patty in August 2009.

Originally, the delegation was sent to support the French military in the First Indochina War and named MAAG Indochina. With the withdrawal of French troops from Vietnam, MAAG shifted its focus to the training of South Vietnamese forces in an effort to stem the rising influence of Communism. MAAG Vietnam was in operation from 1955-1964. At the time the photographs in this collection were taken, Team 58 was stationed in Vi Thanh in the former Chuong Thien province. Throughout its inception MAAG Vietnam was under the control of three generals; Lieutenant General Samuel T. Williams, November 1955-September 1960, Lieutenant General Lionel C. McGarr, September 1960-July 1962, and Major General Charles J. Timmes, July 1962-May 1964. In 1964 MAAG was placed under U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam (MACV) and had grown from a few hundred advisors to over 3,000.\n","Processed by Kristen Korfitzen in November 2011. EAD created by Kristen Korfitzen in November 2011.\n","Special Collections and Archives also hold the  Oliver F. Atkins photograph collection  which includes photographs related to the Vietnam War.  The French Communist Party poster collection  and the  Edwin W. Lynch Vietnam War protest collection  both contain anti-Vietnam War materials. \n","The collection contains 104 black and white photographs measuring 3.75 x 2.5 inches, of MAAG Advisory Team 58. Photographs in the collection show the day-to-day life in the camp with no images of combat. The majority of photographs feature portraits of MAAG Team 58. Photographs of advisors include personnel working in offices, eating meals and enjoying down time, and preparing for a USO show. Several photographs document an assembly with Vietnamese speakers attended by both military advisors and local residents. Photographs also include scenes of the town of Vi Thanh, and several photographs taken from an airplane.\n"," Series 1 contains photographs taken from an assembly in Vi Thanh. The photographs show one main speaker addressing the crowd from a platform with several other persons sitting behind him. Photographs of the crowd show both soldiers and civilians in attendance. Though the purpose and issues discussed at the assembly remain undocumented, soldiers in the audience carry banners with Vietnamese slogans printed on them which could provide further insight.  \n","\nSeries 2 contains photographs of the MAAG Team-58 camp. Photographs document the interiors and exteriors of the camp, showing soldier common areas and images of several buildings that make up the camp complex.

She studied art at Colorado Collage, where she met her first husband William Goodacre, and returned to her hometown of Lubbock upon graduating in 1961. Initially focusing on painting, Glenna shifted her medium to sculpture in 1974 and moved her family to Boulder, Colorado, before making one final move to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1983 following her divorce from first husband William. Over the course of her nearly 50 year career, Glenna sculpted over 600 pieces, including the Vietnam Women's Memorial installed on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. in 1993. Her other most well-known works include the 2002 Irish Memorial in Penn's Landing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the image of Sacagawea on the U.S. Dollar coins first minted in 2000, and a life-size statue of President Ronald Reagan sculpted in 1998 for both the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City and the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. Glenna passed away on April 13, 2020 at the age of 90.","The Vietnam Women's Memorial Project (VWMP) was established in 1984 when plans for placing a statue specifically to commemorate the estimated 11,500 American women who served in Vietnam began. On June 15, 1988, the U.S Senate approved the addition of a dedicated \"woman's statue\", originally to be placed within Arlington National Cemetery. In 1990, the VWMP sponsored a nationwide competition to choose a final design for the statue, but the competition jury was ultimately split in their voting, so in September 1991 the United States Commission of Fine Arts voted for a new design by sculptor Glenna Goodacre. Landscape architect George Dickie chose the final site for the statue, located 300 feet south of the Vietnam Memorial on Washington, D.C.'s National Mall, and installation was finalized in 1993.","Processing and finding aid completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in February 2026.","The Special Collections Research Center holds other collections related to both women in the military and the  Vietnam War , including  General John Ruggles Military Assistance Advisory Group Vietnam photographs  and  Margaret Kolze Army Dietitian scrapbook .","A full catalog record of the completed Vietnam Women's Memorial is available from the  Smithsonian American Art Museum .","Packet prepared by the Vietnam Women's Memorial Project (VWMP) for the \"Commission Hearing for Proposed Design of Vietnam Women's Memorial\" proposing a design by Glenna Goodacre.

In 1990, the VWMP sponsored a nationwide competition to choose a final design for the statue, but the competition jury was ultimately split in their voting, so in September 1991 the United States Commission of Fine Arts voted for a new design by sculptor Glenna Goodacre. Landscape architect George Dickie chose the final site for the statue, located 300 feet south of the Vietnam Memorial on Washington, D.C.'s National Mall, and installation was finalized in 1993."],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eVietnam Women's Memorial Project Glenna Goodacre design proposal packet, C0546, Special Collections Research Center, George Mason University Libraries\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Vietnam Women's Memorial Project Glenna Goodacre design proposal packet, C0546, Special Collections Research Center, George Mason University Libraries"],"processinfo_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eProcessing and finding aid completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in February 2026.\u003c/p\u003e"],"processinfo_heading_ssm":["Processing Information"],"processinfo_tesim":["Processing and finding aid completed by Meghan Glasbrenner in February 2026."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe Special Collections Research Center holds other collections related to both women in the military and the \u003ca href=\"https://aspace.gmu.edu/subjects/923\"\u003eVietnam War\u003c/a\u003e, including \u003ca href=\"https://aspace.gmu.edu/resources/c0332\"\u003eGeneral John Ruggles Military Assistance Advisory Group Vietnam photographs\u003c/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https://aspace.gmu.edu/resources/c0525\"\u003eMargaret Kolze Army Dietitian scrapbook\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003eA full catalog record of the completed Vietnam Women's Memorial is available from the \u003ca href=\"https://siris-artinventories.si.edu/ipac20/ipac.jsp?session=A70Y899J54234.3785\u0026amp;profile=ariall\u0026amp;source=~!siartinventories\u0026amp;view=subscriptionsummary\u0026amp;uri=full=3100001~!318807~!43\u0026amp;ri=5\u0026amp;aspect=Browse\u0026amp;menu=search\u0026amp;ipp=20\u0026amp;spp=20\u0026amp;staffonly=\u0026amp;term=Goodacre,+Glenna,+1939-2020,+sculptor.\u0026amp;index=AUTHOR\u0026amp;uindex=\u0026amp;aspect=Browse\u0026amp;menu=search\u0026amp;ri=5\"\u003eSmithsonian American Art Museum\u003c/a\u003e.\u003c/p\u003e"],"relatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Related Materials"],"relatedmaterial_tesim":["The Special Collections Research Center holds other collections related to both women in the military and the  Vietnam War , including  General John Ruggles Military Assistance Advisory Group Vietnam photographs  and  Margaret Kolze Army Dietitian scrapbook .","A full catalog record of the completed Vietnam Women's Memorial is available from the  Smithsonian American Art Museum ."],"scopecontent_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePacket prepared by the Vietnam Women's Memorial Project (VWMP) for the \"Commission Hearing for Proposed Design of Vietnam Women's Memorial\" proposing a design by Glenna Goodacre.
