"Everyday Stalinism should prove invaluable for any course on Soviethistory. Knowing how a nation's people actually lived, thought, and felt isessential to any real understanding of the past. On this, Fitzpatrick--who hasdone more than any other scholar to make the complexities of the social historyof the Stalin years come alive--delivers as no one else can."--John McCannon,Department of History, Norwich University, "Fitzpatrick makes subtle use of the press and of police reports thatassist in giving us one of the most comprehensive accounts of what it meant tolive in Stalin's Russia in the 1930s."--Kirkus Reviews, "Everyday Stalinism should prove invaluable for any course on Soviet history.

Not about high politics and intrigue among the elite or the fall from grace of the powerful, this exciting and fluent account tells us about the daily indignities and burdens that ordinarypeople suffered, from shortages and long lines, petty and arbitrary officials of an ever-watchful state, to the necessity of personal connections in an economy where shopping was a survival skill....

Synopsis
Focusing on urban areas in the 1930s, this college professor illuminates the ways that Soviet city-dwellers coped with this world, examining such diverse activities as shopping, landing a job, and other acts., Here is a pioneering account of everyday life under Stalin, written by one of our foremost authorities on modern Russian history. Focusing on urban areas in the 1930s, Sheila Fitzpatrick shows that with the adoption of collectivization and the first Five-Year Plan, everyday life was utterly transformed. With the abolition of the market, shortages of food, clothing, and all kinds of consumer goods became endemic. As peasants fled the collectivized villages, major cities were soon in the grip of an acute housing crisis, with families jammed for decades in tiny single rooms in communal apartments, counting living space in square meters. It was a world of privation, overcrowding, endless queues, and broken families, in which the regime's promises of future socialist abundance rang hollowly. We read of a government bureaucracy that often turned everyday life into a nightmare, and of the ways that ordinary citizens tried to circumvent it, primarily by patronage and the ubiquitous system of personal connections known as blat . And we read of the police surveillance that was endemic to this society, and the waves of terror like the Great Purges of 1937, that periodically cast this world into turmoil. Fitzpatrick illuminates the ways that Soviet city-dwellers coped with this world, examining such diverse activities as shopping, traveling, telling jokes, finding an apartment, getting an education, landing a job, cultivating patrons and connections, marrying and raising a family, writing complaints and denunciations, voting, and trying to steer clear of the secret police. Based on extensive research in Soviet archives only recently opened to historians, this superb book illuminates the ways ordinary people tried to live normal lives under extraordinary circumstances., Here is a pioneering account of everyday life under Stalin, written by a leading authority on modern Russian history. Focusing on the urban population, Fitzpatrick shows how living conditions and day-to-day practices changed dramatically with "Stalin's Revolution" at the beginning of the 1930s. With the abolition of the market, shortages of food, clothing, and all other consumer goods became endemic. As peasants fled the collectivized villages, major cities soon faced an acute housing crisis--whole families were jammed for decades into tiny single rooms in communal apartments. It was a world of privation, overcrowding, endless lines, and broken homes, in which the regime's promises of future socialist abundance rang hollowly. We read of a government bureaucracy that often turned life into a nightmare, and of the ways ordinary citizens tried to circumvent it. We also read of the secret police, whose constant surveillance was endemic to this society, and the waves of terror, like the Great Purges of 1937, which periodically cast this society into turmoil. Drawing on extensive research in Soviet archives only recently opened to historians, Everyday Stalinism is a true and compelling story about ordinary people trying to live normal lives under extraordinary circumstances., Here is a pioneering account of everyday life under Stalin, written by one of our foremost authorities on modern Russian history.
