Description

Explore the history of literacy and print culture in the Soviet and post-Soviet eras with this scholarly study. For decades, a powerful myth suggested the USSR possessed the world's greatest readers. This book examines how that belief formed during the 1920s and 1930s through a controlled system of book production and distribution. Readers will learn how this monopolistic system shaped the reading public and how those structures began to change after the Stalin era. The text tracks the expansion of different reading groups and the dramatic shifts caused by the economic and cultural transformations of the 1990s. This work provides a detailed look at how print culture evolved through massive political and social shifts in Eastern Europe.
