What is Stalinism reloaded : everyday life in Stalin-City, Hungary, 1950-1961 about?

The Hungarian city of Sztálinváros, or Stalin-City, was intended to be the paradigmatic urban community of the new communist society in the 1950s. In __Stalinism Reloaded__ , Sándor Horváth explores how Stalin-City and the socialist regime were built and stabilized not only by the state but also by the people who came there with hope for a better future. By focusing on the everyday experiences of citizens, Horváth considers the contradictions in the Stalinist policies and the strategies these bricklayers, bureaucrats, shop girls, and even children put in place in order to cope with and shape the expectations of the state. __Stalinism Reloaded__ reveals how the state influenced marriage patterns, family structure, and gender relations. While the devastating effects of this regime are considered, a convincing case is made that ordinary citizens had significant agency in shaping the political policies that governed them. "Highly recommended." —__Choice__ "Horvath's book is a nuanced and probing account of the social and cultural world of everyday socialism following the death of Stalin that takes nothing for granted." —__Amercan Historical Review__ **Sándor Horváth** is Senior Researc
