"This is a fine book, impressive in both quantity and quality." --Journal of Economic History

"The collection stands out as one of the most useful volumes currently available on the Soviet Union in the 1930s." --Labour History Review

"Altogether, this book succeeds in opening up the social history of the Soviet Union in the era of planning for those students and scholars who are ready to advance beyond the old stereotypes." --ILWCH

The pathbreaking essays assembled here examine the complex pattern of relationships between the first Five Year Plans and the society and culture of Stalinist Russia. Discussion focuses on urbanization, social mobility, questions of social identity and the cultural constructions of the industrialization drive, as well as work organization, management relations, and the underlying processes of industrial organization.
