Youth in Revolutionary Russia: Enthusiasts, Bohemians, DelinquentsAnne E. GorsuchA vivid account of Bolshevik efforts to Sovietize young people in the 1920s. A very impressive workbroad, learned, and very readable. Lynn Mally A welcome and fascinating addition to the social and cultural history of the 1920s in Russia and to the comparative study of youth politics and culture in contemporary Europe and elsewhere. Mark von HagenIn Bolshevik Russia, the successful transformation of young people into communists was crucial for the future of the Soviet state. Soviet youth needed to be shaped into communists in every aspect of their daily liveswork, leisure, gender relations, and family life. But how could the Bolsheviks accomplish this enormous project? What did it mean to be made communist ? What were the consequences if prerevolutionary and bourgeois culture and social relations could not be transformed into new socialist forms of behavior and belief? Drawing from a wide range of sourcesdiaries, party speeches, propagandistic writings, scientific studies, and literatureAnne E. Gorsuch reveals the rich diversity of youth cultures in Soviet Russia during the 1920s. She explores the relationship between representation and reality and between official ideology and popular culture, along with the meaning of these relationships for the making of a Soviet state and society. From the clash between ultracommunist visions of what Russian young people should be and the flamboyant style of flappers and foxtrotters so prominently imported from the capitalist West, emerges a vivid picture of the construction of Soviet youth. Thoughtful and appealing, Youth in Revoluntionary Russia is essential reading for those interested in popular culture and Soviet history.Anne E.
