Beskrivning

This book presents the first comprehensive collection in English of peasant writings during the early years of the Bolshevik regime. Drawn entirely from Russian archival sources, it features more than 150 previously unpublished letters addressed to newspapers, government officials, and Communist Party leaders. The letters and accompanying commentary result in a unique history of the Soviet peasantry's engagement and struggle with a powerful state, enabling readers to hear the voice of a social class that throughout history has too often been rendered voiceless.

Recensioner i media

“In this moving collection of letters from Soviet citizens, Carmine Storella provides a beautifully nuanced survey of social life at a critical time in Soviet history. Painstakingly translated and deeply researched, the letters and explanatory essays reveal the true and often tragic voices of ordinary working people."--Wendy Z. Goldman, Author of Inventing the Enemy. Denunciation and Terror in Stalin's Russia (2011)

4/5

4/5
Min anmälan finns i Axess nr 4 2013. Det är en mycket märkvärdig bok, brevsamling från ryska bönder under ett antal år efter revolutionen 1917. Skrämmande, bitvis komisk, avslöjande. All beundran till de två forskarna som översatt och kommenterat.
