Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Terror, in the sense of mass, unjust arrests, characterized the USSR during the late 1930s. But, argues Robert Thurston in this book, Stalin did not intend to terrorize the country and did not need to rule by fear. Memoirs and interviews with Soviet people indicate that many more believed in Stalin's quest to eliminate internal enemies than were frightened by it. Drawing on recently opened Soviet archives and other sources, Thurston shows that between 1934 and 1936 police and court practice relaxed significantly. Then a series of events, together with the tense international situation and memories of real enemy activity during the savage Russian Civil War, combined to push leaders and people into a hysterical hunt for perceived "wreckers". After late 1938, however, the police and courts became dramatically milder. Coercion was not the key factor keeping the regime in power. More important was voluntary support, fostered at least in the cities by broad opportunities to criticize conditions and participate in decision making on the local level. The German invasion of 1941 found the populace deeply divided in its judgement of Stalinism, but the country's soldiers generally fought hard in its defence. Using German and Russian sources, the author probes Soviet morale and peformance in the early fighting. Thurston's portrait of the era sheds light on Stalin and the nature of his regime. It presents a view of the Soviet people, depicted not simply as victims but also as actors in the violence, criticism, and local decisions of the 1930s. Ironically, Stalinism helped prepare the way for the much more active society and for the reforms of 50 years later. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Thurston's Philosophy of Marriage' offers a thought-provoking exploration of the institution of marriage from a philosophical and sociological perspective. William Robert Thurston presents a structured analysis of the biological, psychological, and social foundations of marital unions, delving into the complexities of human relationships to define the principles that lead to successful and enduring partnerships.Thurston examines marriage not merely as a legal contract, but as a vital social mechanism essential for the stability of civilization. Through his unique lens, he discusses the evolution of domestic life, the importance of mutual understanding, and the ethical considerations inherent in the bond between partners. This volume provides valuable insights into early twentieth-century thought regarding gender roles, family dynamics, and the pursuit of marital harmony.
