Anguish Anger and Folksways in Soviet Russia

Offers perspectives on the politics of everyday life in the Soviet Union by closely examining the coping mechanisms individuals and leaders alike developed as they grappled with the challenges the system presented before and after World War II. Gábor T. Rittersporn shows that the "little tactics” people employed in their daily lives not only helped them endure the rigours of life during the Stalin and post-Stalin periods but also influenced the system's development into the post-Soviet era.
