Description

First published in 1978, this landmark study by Dr Matthews examines the nature of privilege and elite life-styles under the Soviet Communist regime, placing them within historical and sociological context. Based on extensive personal interviews with emigre groups and analysis of original legal and historical sources, the work provides rare insight into the lives of the Soviet elite. The book includes special sections exploring the nature of change within the Soviet elite structure and patterns of social mobility, offering a comprehensive understanding of how privilege functioned within the communist system and how the elite class evolved over time.

Key Features

Dr Matthews' research draws on extensive personal interviews with emigre groups who experienced Soviet elite life directly.

The study analyses original and little-known legal historical sources to document privilege under communism.

Special sections address the nature of change in the Soviet elite and social mobility patterns within the system.

Routledge Revivals reissue brings this 1978 classic back into print for contemporary readers interested in Soviet social history.

The work characterises elite life-styles in sociological terms, providing academic rigour to understanding communist privilege.
