Sheila Fitzpatrick's work is truly a landmark in studies of the Stalinist period--a richly-documented social history told from the traumatic experiences of the long-suffering underclass of peasants. Anyone interested in Soviet and Russian history, peasant studies, or social history will appreciate this major contribution to our understanding of life in Stalin's Russia.
Fitzpatrick's book is the first in Western or Soviet literature to explore the dramatic transformation of peasant life caused by the collectivization of the 1930s. Mass departures, arrests, deportations, exile, famine and show trials left bitter resentment, fear, and suspicion among the peasant populace. The author incorporates a wealth of new research on the individual human experience of collectivization. The book, innovative in approach, promises to be a major contribution to our understanding of life in Stalin's Russia.
