Renowned historian and cultural scholar Natalia Lebina's book explores the formation of Soviet everyday life. Using the "norm/anomaly" dichotomy, the author demonstrates, using materials from the 1920s to 1950s, the transformation of Bolshevik policy in areas such as food and housing, fashion and leisure, religiosity and sexuality, as well as shifting attitudes toward traditional deviations such as drunkenness, suicide, and prostitution. The researcher's primary focus is the era of Stalin's "grand style," when everyday life not only shed the "extraordinary" features of War Communism and the first Five-Year Plans but also lost the achievements of the democratic reforms of the 1920s, transforming into a totalitarian-style everyday life with a rigid system of regulations and prohibitions.
