| Title | Homefront Patriot: World War II in the Diary of a Soviet Worker |
| Summary | This thesis based on the wartime diary of a worker Alexander Dmitriev, who lived in Molotov and worked on one of the defense industry plants. It shed light on the Soviet society under conditions of hard times and mobilization, including labor relations, rationing system and everyday life. This research also provides several discussions on the Soviet subjectivity, labor history and biographical turn in historiography. Combination of these methodological approaches and theoretical frameworks, as well as the uniqueness of the source allows to provide some significant aspects of Soviet society and life under wartime, which does not match to the conventional picture of hard times. |
