Peasants, Political Police, and the Early Soviet State: Surveillance and Accommodation under the New Economic Policy
H. Hudson
This book combines social and institutional histories of Russia, focusing on the secret police and their evolving relationship with the peasantry. Based on an analysis of Cheka/OGPU reports, it argues that the police did not initially respond to peasant resistance to Bolshevik demands simply with the gun—rather, they listened to peasant voices.
