Soviet authorities had long aimed to create a classless society and eliminate the differences between the city and the countryside. Collective Farmers, Master Science! describes the Russian peasantry’s transformation and ultimate extinction through the young people who became immersed in a new Soviet education system. In the process, they adopted the attitudes of Soviet modernity and abandoned the long-standing social patterns of their class. Memory studies and Soviet sociocultural scholar Tatiana Voronina argues that inequality was created by Soviet educational institutions. This book describes how Soviet modernity was conceptualized and implemented by focusing on the work of the rural Komsomol, rural schools, and an agricultural university. The book is written as a micro-history of three distinct rural communities in the Vologda region. It is based on rich archival material from central and regional archives of Russia and oral history interviews with former members of the region’s rural youth. Collective Farmers, Master Science! illuminates the intricacy and diversity of the Soviet modernization processes that took place in the Russian provinces during the 1960s and 1970s.

The process of the Orthodoxization of memory in Russia started long before the Russian Orthodox Church engaged in the memory politics. It was a grassrooted process initiated by both the living and the dead. By using religious symbols and rituals, various groups of living were restoring their relationship with the forgotten dead of Soviet repressions and war. When the Moscow Patriarchate has returned to active public life and started developing its religious memory infrastructure, the Orthodoxization process got a new up–down dimension. Finally, a turn of the Putin’s regime towards religious commemorative practices caused the disappearance of the boundary between religious and political memory. The bricolage memory, consisting of elements of Orthodox tradition and Soviet memory culture, appeared.
