Tankograd: The Formation of a Soviet Company Town: Cheliabinsk, 1900s-1950s
by Lennart Samuelson
DESCRIPTION:
Tankograd depicts the daily life and strivings of the people in the Urals, ordinary workers, peasants, engineers and managers who transformed a slumbering provincial city to a central element in Russia’s defence industry. It combines social, economic, and cultural history with military analyses of the Urals’ importance for the Soviet war efforts.
