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."
