Book Description:

Peasant Rebels Under Stalin is the first history of the peasant rebellion against Soviet collectivization. This study demonstrates that the scope of peasant resistance was far wider and more serious than previously assumed. Based on newly declassified Soviet archives, Lynne Viola documents the manifestation in Stalin's Russia of universal strategies of peasant resistance in what amounted to a virtual civil war between state and peasantry.
