Terror and Democracy in the Age of Stalin: The Social Dynamics of Repression
Wendy Z. Goldman
Terror and Democracy in Stalin's Russia is the first book devoted exclusively to popular participation in the Great Terror, a period in which millions of people were arrested, interrogated, shot, and sent to labor camps. In the unions and the factories, repression was accompanied by a mass campaign for democracy. Party leaders urged workers to criticize and remove corrupt and negligent officials. Workers, shop foremen, local Party members, and union leaders adopted the slogans of repression and used them, often against each other, to redress long-standing grievances. Using new, formerly secret archival sources, Terror and Democracy in Stalin's Russia shows how ordinary people moved in clear stages toward madness and self-destruction.
