Document Summary
Everyday stalinism: ordinary life in extraordinary times. Title taken from shelia fitzpatrick she believed in studying history from below (lives of the people, not just stalin), making challenge before the achieves opened, getting away from the focus of stalin. Life in urban russia in the 1930s, not the lives in the country side. Not until the 1950s where russia become mostly urban. Could not engage in anything that did not involve the state (finding an apartment, marriage and children, education) The state claimed ownership of the family and childhood. The state was the form distributor of all goods. No such thing as a privately owned shop, managed from the center of moscow (all store fronts look the same, no matter what town the store was in) After the nep selling goods privately became a crime. Leading to chronic shortages and rationing for most of the stalin era.
