Protest, Reform and Repression in Khrushchev's Soviet Union
explores the nature of political protest in the USSR during the
decade following the death of Stalin. Using sources drawn from the
archives of the Soviet Procurator's office, the Communist Party,
the Komsomol and elsewhere, Hornsby examines the emergence of
underground groups, mass riots and public attacks on authority as
well as the ways in which the Soviet regime under Khrushchev viewed
and responded to these challenges, including deeper KGB penetration
of society and the use of labour camps and psychiatric repression.
He sheds important new light on the progress and implications of
de-Stalinization, the relationship between citizens and authority
and the emergence of an increasingly materialistic social order
inside the USSR. This is a fascinating study which significantly
revises our understanding of the nature of Soviet power following
the abandonment of mass terror.
