Title: Inventing a Soviet Countryside
Description: "In Inventing a Soviet Countryside, James Heinzen uses newly opened archives as well as published sources to examine the clash that occurred between the state and the Russian peasantry in the formative years of the Soviet government, before Stalin's bloody forced collectivization of agriculture in 1929. In the process, he provides rich insights into the problems of Soviet state building during these critical years."--Jacket.
