Book Synopsis
This 1991 book makes an important contribution to the evaluation of the origins of Stalinism. Dr Hughes presents an in depth examination of the crisis of the New Economic Policy from the regional perspective of Siberia and analyses the events and pressures 'from below', at the grassroots level of Soviet society.

Trade Review
"...Hughes has provided the best discussion of the grain procurement crisis and campaign available in English....this book is an extremely valuable contribution to our understanding of the political, social and economic underpinnings of the NEP crisis, as well as a landmark in Soviet regional history in the West." Lynne Viola, Russian Review
