Set in the late 1930s Soviet Union, this work delves into the phenomenon of shock work and Stakhanovism among rural peasants, who emerged as local heroes and role models. Mary Buckley examines the historical context and various factors influencing this movement, including party priorities, propaganda, and local dynamics. By analyzing the responses of political structures from the highest levels to local organizations, the book reveals the complexities behind the movement's successes and the realities faced by the peasant community.
