From 1931 to 1936, Stalin vacationed at his Black Sea residence for
two to three months each year. While away from Moscow, he relied on
correspondence with his subordinates to receive information, watch
over the work of the Politburo and the government, give orders, and
express his opinions. This book publishes for the first time
translations of 177 handwritten letters and coded telegrams
exchanged during this period between Stalin and his most highly
trusted deputy, Lazar Kaganovich. The unique and revealing
collection of letters--all previously classified top
secret--provides a dramatic account of the mainsprings of Soviet
policy while Stalin was consolidating his position as personal
dictator. The correspondence records his positions on major
internal and foreign affairs decisions and reveals his opinions
about fellow members of the Politburo and other senior figures.
Written during the years of agricultural collectivization, forced
industrialization, famine, repression, and Soviet rearmament in the
face of threats from Germany and Japan, these letters constitute an
unsurpassed historical resource for all students of the Stalin
regime and Soviet history.
