Abstract

likely that when, e g g e d on from above, the urban workers began to act radically, the Stalinist leadership saw exactly what it wanted to in the situation: a wide base o f social support even for collectivization. Despite these criticisms and differences o f opinion, this is a valuable work for the way in which it brings the city and its workers to life, its brutal clarity on the Civil W a r period, and its insightful discussion o f the twists, turns, and responsiveness o f party p o l i c y t o w a r d industrial workers. W i l l i a m Chase's book deserves to b e r e a d closely by all w h o w o u l d p o n d e r the evolution o f Soviet labor policy and relations. Robert W.
