Millions of Soviet soldiers died in the USSR's struggle for survival against Nazi        Germany but millions more returned to Stalin's state after victory. Mark Edele        traces the veterans' story from the early post-war years through to the end of the        Soviet Union in 1991. He describes in detail the problems they encountered during        demobilization, the dysfunctional bureaucracy they had to deal with once back, and        the way their reintegration into civilian life worked in practice in one ofthe most        devastated countries of Europe. He pays particular attention to groups with specific        problems such as the disabled, former prisoners of war, women soldiers, and        youth.The study analyses the old soldiers' long struggle for recognition and the        eventual emergence of an organized movement in the years after Stalin's death. The        Soviet state at first refused to recognize veterans as a group worthy of special        privileges or as an organization. They were not a group conceived of in        Marxist-Leninist theory, there was suspicion about their political loyalty, and the        leadership worried about the costs of affording a special status to such a large        population group. Thesepreconceptions were overcome only after a long, hard struggle        by a popular movement that slowly emerged within the strict confines of the        authoritarian Soviet regime.
