The publisher on this edition

The people of Smolensk survived both of the twentieth century’s most brutal dictatorships. Michael David-Fox probes their experiences under Stalinist and Nazi rule to unravel the threads of authoritarianism. Focused on personal stories, David-Fox leaves no question as to despots’ reliance on the collaboration and acquiescence of ordinary citizens.
