Peace In Their TimeEpisode 167 - It's a Hard Knock Soviet LifeLife in the Soviet cities might not have wracked up the fatality count during the early 1930s that the countryside did, but it had its share of suffering all the same. Food shortages, goods shortages, black markets, all became painful facts of life that urban Soviets acclimated to.    Bibliography for this episode:    Fitzpatrick, Sheila Everyday Stalinism: Ordinary Life in Extraordinary Times: Soviet Russia in the 1930s Oxford University Press 2000 Lewin, Moshe Making the Soviet System: Essays in the Social History of Interwar Russia Pantheon Books 1985 Lewin, Moshe The Soviet Century Verso 2016 Kotkin, Stephen St...

Peace In Their TimeEpisode 166 - Stalin's RevolutionTurning more towards the culture of the Soviet Union during the early 30s, I take a look at the Cultural Revolution carried in the USSR from 1928-1931. It was a brief, but critical event that brought the most active and passionate in the Party into Stalin's camp. Which in turn gave him the foot soldiers necessary to bring the bureaucracy and intelligentsia into line.   Bibliography for this episode:    Fitzpatrick, Sheila Everyday Stalinism: Ordinary Life in Extraordinary Times: Soviet Russia in the 1930s Oxford University Press 2000 Lewin, Moshe Making the Soviet System: Essays in t...

Peace In Their TimeEpisode 164 - Brakes Not IncludedIf collectivization was the great failure of the 1st Five-Year-Plan, then rapid industrialization was its great success.

Peace In Their TimeEpisode 163 - Kolkhoz, Part IIITo wrap up this look at collectivization in the USSR, I focus in on the famine years of 1932-33. Why it happened, how it affected people, how the state responded. Really kind of hard to describe the scale of it, although I give it a shot.    Bibliography for this episode:    Fitzpatrick, Sheila Stalin's Peasants: Resistance & Survival in the Russian Village After Collectivization Oxford University Press 1994 Viola, Lynne Peasant Rebels Under Stalin: Collectivization and the Culture of Peasant Resistance Oxford University Press 1996 Lewin, Moshe Making the Soviet System: Essays in the Social History of Inter...

Peace In Their TimeEpisode 162 - Kolkhoz, Part IIThe first year of collectivization was a wild time, even before the massive famine of 1932-33. The world of the peasantry was turned upside down, and modes of life that had predominated for generations were changed forever. And a bunch of people got deported and a band of Communist faithful showed up to lend a hand.    Bibliography for this episode:    Fitzpatrick, Sheila Stalin's Peasants: Resistance & Survival in the Russian Village After Collectivization Oxford University Press 1994 Lewin, Moshe Making the Soviet System: Essays in the Social History of Interwar Russia Pantheon Books 1985 Viola, Lynne Th...

Peace In Their TimeEpisode 161 - Kolkhoz, Part IThe massive swing towards collectivized agriculture during the 1930s was one of the Soviet Union's most defining moments. Where the state had been previously weak in the countryside, the movement of the peasants onto the collective farms (the kolkhoz) changed that for the rest of the USSR's history. It also created dislocations and conflicts that will be at the heart of the next few weeks' worth of episodes.    Bibliography for this episode:    Allen, Robert C. Farm to Factory: A Reinterpretation of the Soviet Industrial Revolution Princeton University Press 2003 Fitzpatrick, Sheila Stalin's Peasants: Resista...

Peace In Their TimeEpisode 160 - Decisions, DecisionsThe commencement of the 1st Five Year Plan in the USSR signaled quite a break from state policy as it was in the 20s. And by that, I mean kicking the NEP to the curb. This shift caused no small debate within the Soviet hierarchy, and Stalin would use the divisions as a wedge against his enemies.    Bibliography for this episode:    Allen, Robert C. Farm to Factory: A Reinterpretation of the Soviet Industrial Revolution Princeton University Press 2003 Cohen, Stephen F. Bukharin and the Bolshevik Revolution: A Political Biography, 1888-1938 Oxford University Press 1980 Lewin...

Религия и Общество - Religiolog059 Тоталитаризм как религия. Нацизм и Сталинизм. Ханна Арендт. Гитлер и Сталин как лидеры культаВ этом обзоре мы поговорим о том, почему идеологии нацизма и большевизма добились успеха, и в чем их схожесть с религиозными утопиями. В чем разница между Толпой и Массой, и почему психология массы схожа с мышлением членов религиозных культов? Что ученые и политические деятели говорят о схожести тоталитарных режимов с религией? Почему политика и религия – две стороны одной медали; а политические и религиозные лидеры порой могут действовать идентично, и опираться на схожие идеи и методы? И в чем опасность концентрации власти в руках одного человека, и веры в то, что этот кто-то решит наши проблемы.

CosmopodPolitical Undercurrents in Soviet Economic Debates: A DiscussionChristian and Donald sit down for a discussion on Moshe Lewin's 1974 tome Political Undercurrents in Soviet Economic Debates. They discuss Bukharin, the Left Opposition, Stalin, Soviet reformers, cybernetic planning, and more. Unfortunately, Lewin's book is out of print but we recommend getting your hands on a used copy if possible. If you can't, his book The Soviet Century is still in print from Verso Books. We hope to continue this to be a continuous reading series on the problems of building socialism.
