Everyday Stalinism:
Living Standards, Norms and values Of various Groups of Soviet People in the
1920s and 1930s

IDC Publishers is is making available for the first time a new microfiche
collection that contains archival material that was declassified in 1993.
The contents of the materials provide an insight into the socialist society
of the USSR in the 1920s and 1930s. It provides answers to questions on the
cultural and political interest and economic situation of the ordinary
soviet citizen within that period. How much money did a Soviet engineer
earn? Did every student read Marx and own a radio? Could an average family
spend enough money on food? How active were soviet citizens in socialist
political movements?

The archival materials in this collection, now held at the Russian State
Archives of Economics (Rossiskii gosudarstvennyi archive ekonomiki - RGAE),
were compiled by the Central Administration of Statistics of the USSR
(TsSU), founded in 1917. For more information you can visit IDC's website
