  Emphasizes the importance of social order repression by Stalin's Soviet regime in contrast to the traditional emphasis of historians on political repression. This book finds that most repression during the Stalinist dictatorship of the 1930s was against marginal social groups such as petty criminals, deviant youth, and sectarians.
