Description

Explore the hidden realities of power and status with Privilege in the Soviet Union (Routledge Revivals). Originally published in 1978, this academic study by Dr. Matthews provides a deep look into the elite life-styles maintained under the Communist regime. This work is essential for readers interested in the sociology of power and the historical context of the Soviet era. Through an extensive program of personal interviews with emigre groups and a careful analysis of original, little-known legal historical sources, the book offers a unique perspective on how privilege functioned. It characterizes the individuals who enjoyed these lifestyles using sociological terms, placing their experiences within a broader historical framework. This Routledge Revival edition brings back a significant piece of social research, focusing on the nature of change within the Soviet elite and the mechanics of social mobility. Whether you are a student of history, sociology, or political science, this book provides a detailed examination of how social structures operated behind the scenes of the Soviet Union.
