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