Soviet Workers and De-Stalinization: The Consolidation of the Modern System of Soviet Production Relations 19531964 (Cambridge Russian, Soviet and Post-Soviet Studies)

By Donald Filtzer

Book Overview

This is the first comprehensive study of the position of Soviet industrial workers during the Khrushchev period. Donald Filtzer examines the main features of Khrushchev's labor policy within the overall context of de-Stalinization and provides a detailed analysis of shop floor relations between workers and managers, the position of women workers and their specific role in the Soviet economy. In his conclusions, the author relates the labor problems of the Khrushchev years to those faced by Mikhail Gorbachev and perestroika, thus helping to explain the failure of Gorbachev's policies.
