In the early 1920s the Bolsheviks, who were overwhelmingly urban,
proletarian, and Russian, believed that rapid industrialization
would dissolve the non-Russian national identities and create a
solid base of support for the new political order. By the end of
the decade, however, the social changes initiated by rapid economic
development strengthened national assertiveness. This book analyzes
the precarious relationship between Soviet legitimacy-building and
the consequences of rapid industrial development in the Ukrainian
Soviet Socialist Republic, the most populous non-Russian republic
in the USSR, during the 1920s and 1930s. The author shows how the
interplay between industrialization, urbanization, and Soviet
preferential policies produced a modern, urban Ukrainian identity.
This, he argues, explains why the Stalinist leadership changed its
course on the nationality question in the 1930s and gave precedence
to the Russians in the USSR.
