Stalin's Citizens

Being a good citizen under Stalin meant taking an active part in political rituals, such as elections, parades, festive meetings, political information sessions, and subscriptions to state bonds. Stalin's Citizens shows how ordinary citizens came to embrace some parts of this everyday Stalinist politics and resist others.
