Jeffrey Rossman, Worker Resistance under Stalin: Class and Revolution on the Shop Floor, Harvard University Press.
Challenging the claim that workers supported Stalin's revolution "from above" as well as the assumption that working-class opposition to a workers' state was impossible, the book shows how a crucial segment of the Soviet population opposed the authorities during the critical industrializing period of the First Five-Year Plan.
