In Estonia, as in other Eastern European countries, the Stalinist era remains in the center of attention of historians. Politics, repression and resistance dominate the historiography, while everyday life is definitely under-represented. This book attempts to close the gap and focuses on different aspects of everyday life in Stalinist Estonia.

Table of Contents
Contents: History of everyday life during Stalinism – Sovietization of Estonia – Resistance and accommodation – Leisure in Stalin’s Estonia – Standard of living – Life on a Stalinist kolkhoz – The private sphere under Stalinism – Moonshining.
