Overview

The years 1931-4 witnessed enormous social change both in Moscow and its surrending region. The industrialization drive and the collectivization of agriculture resulted in unpredicted social upheavals with which new local leaders like Kaganovich, Khrushchev and Malenkov had to cope. The book describes how such tasks as city planning, provisioning, supply and city transport, including the Metro, were dealt with. The book also considers the impact of this experience on national politics and on the destalinization campaign after 1953.
