Stalin''s Police - Public Order and Mass Repression in the Ussr, 19261941

Informationen zum Autor Paul Hagenloh is an associate professor of history in the Maxwell School at Syracuse University. He was a Title VIII research scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in 2004-5. Klappentext "Stalin's Police" offers a new interpretation of the mass repressions associated with the Stalinist terror of the late 1930s. This pioneering study traces the development of professional policing from its pre-revolutionary origins through the late 1930s and early 1940s. Paul Hagenloh argues that the policing methods employed in the late 1930s were the culmination of a set of ideologically driven policies dating back to the previous decade. Hagenloh's vivid and monumental account is the first to show how Stalin's peculiar brand of policing--in which criminals, juvenile delinquents, and other marginalized population groups were seen increasingly as threats to the political and social order--supplied the core mechanism of the Great Terror. Zusammenfassung Hagenloh's vivid and monumental account is the first to show how Stalin's peculiar brand of policing-in which criminals! juvenile delinquents! and other marginalized population groups were seen increasingly as threats to the political and social order-supplied the core mechanism of the Great Terror.
