After Hitler's invasion in 1941, German troops conquered the heartland of Soviet industry and agriculture and turned the occupied territories into mass killing fields. In one of the greatest wartime feats in history, Soviet workers rapidly evacuated factories, food, and people thousands of miles to the east and built a new industrial base beyond the reach of German bombers. As millions of refugees and evacuees streamed east, mass epidemics engulfed the country. Health officials battled to establish new public health regulations. The Soviet state reached the height of its power, imposing military discipline and mobilizing millions of people to work thousands of miles from home. The state assumed responsibility for feeding the nation through a strict ration system. Given terrible food shortages, many people, including workers, began to starve. This book examines the dark and painful war years from a new perspective, telling the stories of evacuees, refugees, teenaged and women workers, runaways from work, Gulag prisoners, and deportees. The narrative follows the Red Army as it retreated east and then battled back westward after Stalingrad, presenting "total war" behind the front lines in a chronicle of spirited defense efforts, draconian state directives, teeming black markets, and selfless heroism. Based on a vast trove of new archival materials, the book tells the story of suffering, sacrifice, and commitment that made the Allied victory possible"-- |cProvided by publisher. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 651 0 Soviet Union |xHistory |y1939-1945. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |zSoviet Union. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945 |xEvacuation of civilians |zSoviet Union. 650 0 Soviets (People) |xEvacuation and relocation, 1942-1945. 651 0 Soviet Union |xHistory |yGerman occupation, 1941-1944. 650 0 War and society |zSoviet Union |xHistory. 651 0 Soviet Union |xSocial conditions |y1917-1945. 650 7 Evacuation of civilians. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00916969 650 7 Social conditions. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01919811 650 7 War and society. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01170447 651 7 Soviet Union. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01210281 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |zSoviet Union. |2nli 650 7 World War, 1939-1945 |xEvacuation of civilians |zSoviet Union. |2nli 650 7 War and society |zSoviet Union |xHistory. |2nli 651 7 Soviet Union |xHistory |y1939-1945. |2nli 651 7 Soviet Union |xHistory |yGerman occupation, 1941-1944. |2nli 651 7 Soviet Union |xSocial conditions |y1917-1945. |2nli 647 7 German Occupation of Soviet Union |c(Soviet Union : |d1941-1944) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01353185 647 7 World War |d(1939-1945) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1917-1945 |2fast 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Filtzer, Donald A., |eauthor. 776 08 |iOnline version:Goldman, Wendy Z. |tFortress dark and stern |dNew York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2021] |z9780190618438 |w(DLC) 2020037849 852 0 |bscstacks |hDK273 |i.G585 2021
