Western theories of biopolitics focus on its liberal and fascist rationalities. In opposition to this, Stalinism was oriented more towards transforming life in accordance with the communist ideal, and less towards protecting it. Sergei Prozorov reconstructs this rationality in the early Stalinist project of the Great Break (1928-32) and its subsequent modifications during High Stalinism. He then relocates the question of biopolitics down to the level of the subject, tracing the way the "new Soviet person" was to be producedin governmental practices and the role that violence and terror would play in this construction. | The Biopolitics of Stalinism by Sergei Prozorov, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
