Scholars have long scoffed at this claim, noting that the mass repression of 1937-1938 that followed rendered it a hollow document. This study does not address these competing claims, but rather focuses on the six-month long popular discussion of the draft Constitution, which preceded its formal adoption in December 1936. Drawing on rich archival sources, this book uses the discussion of the draft 1936 Constitution to examine discourse between the central state leadership and citizens about the new Soviet social contract, which delineated the roles the state and citizens should play in developing socialism. For the central leadership, mobilizing its citizenry in a variety of state building campaigns was the main goal of the discussion of the draft Constitution. However, the goals of the central leadership at times stood in stark contrast with the people's expressed interpretation of that social contract. Citizens of the USSR focused on securing rights and privileges, often related to improving their daily lives, from the central government."--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in modern European history. 606 $aConstitutional history$zSoviet Union 606 $aPolitical participation$zSoviet Union$xHistory 607 $aSoviet Union$xPolitics and government 607 $aSoviet Union$xSocial conditions$xHistory 615 0$aConstitutional history 615 0$aPolitical participation$xHistory. 676 $a342.4702 23 700 $aLomb$b Samantha$0853105 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910311948703321 996 $aStalin's constitution$91904982 997 $aUNINA
