Reviews

. . . Halfin's first-rate readings of this material makes for very compelling reading. -Auri C. Berg, Canadian Slavonic Papers , March-June 2012


Using as his main source autobiographies written by people who wanted to join the Bolshevik party during the initial postrevolutionary years, Halfin demonstrates how these Bosheviks-to-be learned to narrate their lives in the language of the new political regime. -Serguei Oushakine, The Russian Review , June 2012
