This monograph studies the social history of the soviet mega project, the subway built first in Moscow and then other cities. How did the soviet regime manage to involve the population of Russia in the project, which caused millions of casualties? What role did this project play in the self image of the country and its stabilization? What were the working conditions, and how were they viewed by the workers? How did the authorities manage to employ an army of migrants from villages in this project and escape any protests and rebellions? How did the migrants, forced and volunteers, adapt to the new environment, culture and work requirements? These and many other questions are studied in this monograph. (0.925 kg.)
