Stalin's terror shaped the lives and behaviour of people in every Soviet workplace, with Communist Party leaders strongly encouraging ordinary citizens and party members to 'unmask the hidden enemy'. This book examines the terror in Moscow's factories, revealing the terrible dilemmas people confronted in their struggles to survive.

In the 1930s, the Soviet working class grew at an unprecedented rate, changing in size and social composition. Women at the Gates is the story of a world remade, from above and from below, as women entered waged labor in unprecedented numbers.

This book focuses on how women, peasants, and orphans responded to Bolshevik attempts to remake the family, and how their opinions and experiences in turn were used by the state to meet its own needs.

The first book devoted exclusively to popular participation in the 'Great Terror', a period in which millions of people were arrested, interrogated, shot, and sent to labor camps. By using new, formerly secret archival sources, the book shows how ordinary people moved in clear stages toward madness and self-destruction.
