The book by Natalia Lebina, a well-known historian and cultural critic, is devoted to the formation of Soviet everyday life. The author, using the dichotomy "norm/anomaly", demonstrates on the materials of the 1920s-1950s the transformation of Bolshevik policy in the sphere of food and housing, fashion and leisure, religiosity and sexuality, as well as the change of attitude to traditional deviations - drunkenness, suicide, prostitution. The main subject of the researcher's interest is the era of Stalin's grand style, when everyday life not only loses the features of the "extreme" of war communism and the first five-year period, but also loses the achievements of the democratic transformations of the 1920s, turning into a totalitarian-type everyday life with a rigid system of prescriptions and prohibitions.
