First published in 1978, this unique work throws much-needed
light upon the exact nature of privilege and elite life-styles in
the contemporary Soviet Union, under the Communist regime. Dr
Matthews' study places these life-styles in a historical
perspective, and characterises, in sociological terms, the people
who enjoyed them.
This study is based on an extensive programme of personal
interviews among emigr? groups and a close analysis of original and
little-known legal historical sources. There are special sections
on the nature of change in the Soviet elite and on social mobility.
This reissue will attract interest amongst students and scholars
concerned with the history, politics and sociology of the Soviet
Union; it will also be of value to all those concerned with the
age-old problem of social equality.
