This is a detailed study of the position of Soviet industrial
workers during the Khrushchev period. Dr Donald Filtzer examines
the main features of labour policy, shop floor relations between
workers and managers, the position of women workers and their
specific role in the Soviet economy. Filtzer argues that the main
concern of Khrushchev's labour policy was to remotivate an
industrial population left demoralized by the Stalinist terror.
This de-Stalinization had to be carried out without undermining the
essential power and property relations on which the Stalinist
system had been built. The author convincingly demonstrates how
labour policy was thus limited to superficial gestures of
liberalization and tinkering with incentive schemes. Rather than
achieving any lasting effects, the Khrushchev period saw the
consolidation of a long-term tendency towards economic stagnation.
In his conclusions, Filtzer shows how the labour problems under
Khrushchev were the same as those which confronted Mikhail
Gorbachev and perestroika, thus helping to explain the failures of
Gorbachev's policies.
