Opis

This is a detailed examination of three under-researched aspects of Soviet political repression in the 1930s: case studies of regional and sectoral dimensions of the purges; "victim studies" of the Great Terror; and an assessment of the impact of political repression on Soviet economic development in the late 1930s. Much of the information detailed here is presented to the English language readership for the first time.

Recenzje

'Ili? has produced an interesting volume based on important and original research, with a welcome turn to regional history. The collection re-opens with a welcome turn to regional history. The collection re-opens debate on significant topics, reminding us that we still have a long way to go in our attempts to understand the scope and nature of Stalin's terror.' - Miriam Dobson, Slavonic& East European Review
