Stalinism as a Way of Life: A Narrative in Documents (Annals of Communism)by Lewis H Siegelbaum
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The lifestyles of ordinary Russians living under Stalinism in the 1930s are related through this unique collection of 157 documents from recently opened Soviet archives. Comprised mostly of letters to authorities from Soviet citizens, these documents relate stories in the words of Russian people from all walks of life. 29 illustrations. Review:"This latest collection from the Yale Annals of Communism series represents another triumph. Comprising more than 150 documents from Soviet archives combined with insightful commentaries from the two authors, Stalinism as a Way of Life gives voices to the people who lived through the Soviet 1930's. By presenting these expressions as part of a lived reality, the authors succeed not only in presenting a remarkable picture of the mentalities and behaviors that Stalinism produced, but also the ways in which these mentalities in turn perpetuated Stalinism."
