Drawing on newly available archival materials including official
documents, reports, and personal accounts, this remarkable study
presents a detailed picture of the living standards of various
social groups in prewar Soviet Russia, and the role of
state-controlled distribution of food and goods as a tool of the
Stalinist dictatorship. The study offers a new perspective not only
on the period of collectivization, industrialization, and terror
but also on the regime's most rudimentary method of controlling
human behavior and reshaping the social order. In her conclusion
the author analyzes the long-term impacts of the Stalinist
"dictatorship of distribution", from bureaucratization to rural
depopulation to the emergence of a distinctive type of black-market
economy.
