Reviews

Seth Bernstein offers new insights that add to our understanding of Soviet youth rather than rehashing what is known. --William Husband, author of Godless Communists Raised under Stalin is an excellent book. Seth Bernstein highlights new information on the Komsomol during high Stalinism and thus makes a contribution to the field of Stalinism and to the history of the Komsomol and Soviet youth in general. --Isabel Tirado, author of Young Guard!

Seth Bernstein offers new insights that add to our understanding of Soviet youth rather than rehashing what is known. -- William Husband, author of <I> Godless Communists </I> Raised under Stalin is an excellent book. Seth Bernstein highlights new information on the Komsomol during high Stalinism and thus makes a contribution to the field of Stalinism and to the history of the Komsomol and Soviet youth in general. -- Isabel Tirado, author of <I>Young Guard!</I> Bernstein's study... offers a compelling picture of how young men and (to a lesser extent) women became participants in and symbols of Stalin's revolution. [H]is study will appeal to scholars and students of Stalinism as well as those interested in youth organizations in the authoritarian states of the 1930s-or of the twenty-first century. * American Historical Review * This is a thought-provoking book and the author's new archival research both clarifies and develops the academic literature. * Europe-Asia Studies * Despite my criticism, this book is a good, although Russian-centered, contribution to the recent debates about the role of the Soviet Komsomol in the history of Soviet youth culture. * Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth * Raised under Stalin will appeal to scholars interested in youth culture, mobilization regimes, and the interwar period in Europe. * Journal of Modern History * Seth Bernstein provides a needed analysis of the history of the Komsomol. * Slavic Review *
