Grand Theater - Regional Governance in Stalin's Russia, 1931-1941

Informationen zum Autor Larry E. Holmes is professor emeritus of history at the University of South Alabama. Klappentext Grand Theater examines bureaucracy not as a readily identifiable structure, which it certainly was, but rather as a process of day-to-day operation. Thus it is concerned with how agencies of both the Communist Party and the state apparatus not only implemented directives from above but also responded to perceived successes and failures, chose to produce, share, and conceal information, and reacted when common citizens injected themselves into governance by making demands and complaints.
