	Year of the Stakhanovite
		Wives of male Stakhanovites had an important part to play in the movement as helpmates preparing nutritious meals, keeping their apartments clean and comfortable, and otherwise creating a cultured environment in the home so that their husbands were well rested and eager to work with great energy.
		In a broader sense, Stakhanovites represented fitting subjects for stories that contrasted the harsh, oppressive past (either pre-revolutionary or, in the case of peasants' stories, pre-collectivization) with the prosperous present and the even-more-prosperous and happy future.
		Nevertheless, the Stakhanovite movement continued into the war and even enjoyed something of a revival in the years after the war when it was exported to eastern Europe.

		Thus began the Stakhanovite "movement" -- a campaign urging workers to emulate this and other alleged feats of super-productivity.
		Professor Bob Davies (Centre for Russian and East European Studies, University of Birmingham, UK) and Oleg Khlevnyuk (State Archive of the Russian Federation) have mined newly accessible archives to uncover the political and economic background to this campaign and assess its impact.

		While the humorous and surprisingly candid comments from that magazine do support a number of main points, the book would have gained considerably from the strategic insertion of these cartoons; simply describing an illustration of a joke, while helpful, blunts the impact.
		Named after Aleksei Stakhanov, a coalminer whose amazing output surpassed all previous records, the movement celebrated the exceptional workers of Russia and elevated them to a sort of worker-hero status in the eyes of the public.
		Ironically, this very elevation often caused celebrated Stakhanovites to lose touch with their worker roots as they pursued the education and the material comfort suddenly made available.

		The chapters take the reader through topics such as the adoption of the first five-year plan, various bureaucratic reorganisations in NKPS, debates over railway policy occurring in journals, the drafting of the second five-year plan, the resort to repression, the Stakhanovite movement on the railways, the purges, and rail transport and war preparations.
