Text of Note

"This book is an analysis of the dilemmas confronting the communist party after Stalin's death in 1953. It focuses on the way ordinary citizens received and reacted to the policy of the party and the state. It is the history of people who, driven by disillusion, despair and anger, either withdrew from the public sphere and thus demonstrated passive resistance to the regime or, conversely, chose to demonstrate actively in prisoners' rebellions and worker's unrest. The prisoners' rebellions in Korgapoliskii and Steplag in 1954 and 1956, and the major workers' unrest in Novocherkassk in 1962, can be interpreted as a continuation of the fight for freedom and human dignity which led to the popular risings against the Czar in 1905 and February 1917. Using the stories of ordinary Russians, this book questions the myth of the authoritarian mentality of the Soviet Russian."--Jacket.
