This volume brings together the latest work in Russian labour
history, based on exciting materials from previously closed
archives and collections. Sixteen essays, focusing on peasants and
workers, explore the lives and struggles of working people. Ranging
over a century of dramatic upheaval, from the late 1800s to the
present, the essays are organized around three broad themes:
workers' politics, incentives and coercion within industrial and
rural workplaces, and household strategies. The volume explores the
relationship between the peasantry and the working class, a nexus
that has been central to state policy, oppositional politics,
economic development, and household configuration. It profiles a
working class rent by divisions and defined not only by its
relationship to the workplace or the state, but also by its
household strategies for daily survival. The essays explore many
topics accessible for the first time, including the motivations of
women workers, roots of revolutionary activism, the revolutionary
movement outside the great cities, socialist opposition to the
Soviet regime, reactions of workers to Stalinist terror, socialist
tourism, peasant families in forced exile, and work discipline on
the collective farms.
