Soviet Workers and Late Stalinism is a study of labour and labour
policy during the critical period of the Soviet Union's postwar
recovery and the last years of Stalin. It is also a detailed social
history of the Soviet Union in these years, for non-Russian
readers. Using previously inaccessible archival sources, Donald
Filtzer describes the tragic hardships faced by workers and their
families right after the war; conditions in housing and health
care; the special problems of young workers; working conditions
within industry; and the tremendous strains which regime policy
placed not just on the mass of the population, but on the cohesion
and commitment of key institutions within the Stalinist political
system, most notably the trade unions and the procuracy. Donald
Filtzer's subtle and compelling book will interest all historians
of the Soviet Union and of socialism.
