Description

How did the Soviet Union control the behaviour of its people? How did the people themselves engage with the official rules and the threat of violence in their lives? In this book, Immo Rebitschek and Aaron B. Retish, along with a collection of international scholars, examine how social control developed under Stalin and Khrushchev. Drawing on deep archival research from across the former Soviet Union, they analyse the wide network of state institutions that were used for regulating individual behaviour and how Soviet citizens interacted with them. Together they show that social control in the Soviet Union was not entirely about the monolithic state imposing its vision with violent force. Instead, a wide range of institutions such as the police, the justice system, and party-sponsored structures in factories and farms tried to enforce control. The book reveals that the Soviet state did not exclusively rely on violence in its efforts to transform society and that under Khrushchev, these methods widened. It highlights how the state leadership itself adjusted its policing strategies and moved away from mass repression towards legal pressure for policing society. Social Control under Stalin and Khrushchev explores how the Soviet state controlled the behaviour of its citizens and how the people relied on these structures.
