In Russia's Cotton Workers and the New Economic Policy Chris Ward
uses a wide range of published and unpublished Soviet sources to
examine key aspects of life on the shop floor of the Russian cotton
mill in the 1920s. He reveals the existence of a complex world of
work which grew out of the interaction between the experience of
industrialisation in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century
Russia and the mechanisation of the cotton industry in Britain in
the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The author
explores the manner in which a 'mill culture' emerged from these
developments and demonstrates that by the 1920s this culture was
often very resistant to change. Russia's Cotton Workers and the New
Economic Policy provides a realistic understanding of the
relationship between worker, state policy and technology in Russia
in the 1920s.
