About this book

Stalinist Reconstruction and the Confrontation of a New Elite, 1945-53 looks at the postwar Stalin era through the eyes of industrial supervisors and offers a picture of the technical intelligentsia's transformation into the Soviet Union's social and political elite. Drawing from archives, newspapers, memoirs, and an array of secondary sources, the book reveals new aspects of the Stalin phenomenon and concludes that, contrary to prior assumptions, the late-Stalin years marked the Soviet Union's passage from the convulsion and disorder of revolution to the routinized professionalization common to most industrial societies.

Reviews

'...an invaluable contribution to our understanding of the intelligentsia, an important aspect of social and economic history in Stalin's last years.' - Derek Watson, CREES, University of Birmingham, Slavic Review
