Stalinist Values - The Cultural Norms of Soviet Modernity, 1917-1941 (Hardcover)

Soviet official culture underwent a dramatic shift in the mid-1930s, when Stalin and his fellow leaders began to promote conventional norms, patriarchal families, tsarist heroes and Russian literary classics. For Leon Trotsky - and many later commentators - this apparent embrace of bourgeois values marked a betrayal of the October Revolution and a retreat from socialism. David L. Hoffmann argues that, far from reversing direction, the Stalinist leadership remained committed to remaking both individuals and society - and used selected elements of traditional culture to bolster the socialist order.
