  Exposes the paradox behind the myth of the indestructible Stalinist-era male. This book examines the recurring theme of the mutilated male body, which appears with startling frequency. It also provides a reevaluation of classic works of the period, including the novels of Nikolai Ostrovskii and Boris Polevoi.
