Peasants, Political Police, And The Early Soviet State - Surveillance and Accommodation under the New Economic Policy - H. Hudson - Paperback Bog
Brand: Palgrave Macmillan
Description
This book combines social and institutional histories of Russia, focusing on the secret police and their evolving relationship with the peasantry. Based on an analysis of Cheka/OGPU reports, it argues that the police did not initially respond to peasant resistance to Bolshevik demands simply with the gun-rather, they listened to peasant voices.
