Reviews for Republic of Labor: Russian Printers and Soviet Socialism, 1918–1930

In this beautifully crafted and deeply researched book, Diane P. Koenker explores with characteristic subtlety the social world of Soviet printers, reconstructing their responses to the drama of revolution and socialist modernization. In the richest study to date of the meanings of class in the Soviet Union, she reveals the complexity of printers' identities, engaging with issues of production, consumption, 'participatory dictatorship, ' gender, generation, language and culture. It is a wonderful achievement. Steve Smith, University of Essex
