The Hungarian city of Sztalinvaros, or "Stalin-City," was intended
to be the paradigmatic urban community of the new communist society
in the 1950s. In Stalinism Reloaded, Sandor Horvath explores how
Stalin-City and the socialist regime were built and stabilized not
only by the state but also by the people who came there with hope
for a better future. By focusing on the everyday experiences of
citizens, Horvath considers the contradictions in the Stalinist
policies and the strategies these bricklayers, bureaucrats, shop
girls, and even children put in place in order to cope with and
shape the expectations of the state. Stalinism Reloaded reveals how
the state influenced marriage patterns, family structure, and
gender relations. While the devastating effects of this regime are
considered, a convincing case is made that ordinary citizens had
significant agency in shaping the political policies that governed
them.
