Someone curious asked:
Do you know of any resources where I can hear the options of average Soviet citizens during the time of the USSR?
I linked Dessaline’s GitHub page: https://dessalines.github.io/essays/socialism_faq.html#did-the-citizens-of-the-soviet-union-dislike-their-government.
And I suggested Parenti, Blackshirts and Reds but I don’t think it quite fits the description.
Can anyone think of other resources, maybe a peoples’ history kind of thing?
The comrades at Cosmonaut sometimes write about the experiences of AES. Maybe something there can be of interest. Their podcast is quite good also. https://cosmonautmag.com/
I’ve haven’t read them myself so I can’t confirm, but I’ve heard Sheila Fitzpatrick’s books are good sources about life during the period under Stalin.
