"Revolution on My Mind" is a stunning revelation of the inner world of Stalin's Russia. We see into the minds and hearts of Soviet citizens who recorded their lives during an extraordinary period of revolutionary fervour and state terror. Writing a diary, like other creative expression, seems nearly impossible amid the fear and distrust of totalitarian rule; but as Jochen Hellbeck shows, diary-keeping was widespread, as individuals struggled to adjust to Stalin's regime. Rather than protect themselves against totalitarianism, many men and women bent their will to its demands, by striving to merge their individual identities with the collective and by battling vestiges of the old self within. We see how Stalin's subjects, from artists to intellectuals and from students to housewives, absorbed directives while endeavouring to fulfil the mandate of the Soviet revolution - re-creation of the self as a builder of the socialist society. Thanks to a newly discovered trove of diaries, we are brought face to face with individual life stories - gripping and unforgettably poignant. The diarists' efforts defy our liberal imaginations and our ideals of autonomy and private fulfilment. These Soviet citizens dreamed differently. They coveted a morally and aesthetically superior form of life, and were eager to inscribe themselves into the unfolding revolution. "Revolution on My Mind" is a brilliant exploration of the forging of the revolutionary self, a study without precedent that speaks to the evolution of the individual in mass movements of our own time.

圖書標籤: 曆史 蘇聯史 蘇聯 資源 英文原版 蘇東研究 政治學 傳記
故事很精彩,但是理論部分重復的有點多。
評分蘇聯個人日記選,有趣且好讀。蘇聯時期日記寫作特點的綜述+四章四個人的日記重點分析,呈現的是個人力求通過自我教化而成為“蘇聯人”("New Soviet Man")各種心路曆程。
評分挑戰瞭自由主義論述中,將日記等私密寫作視為極權國傢的人民保存自我聲音,對抗政宣係統的觀點。相反,此書研究的四位蘇聯人的日記,一再體現記錄者亟亟融入社會政治秩序,將小我整閤進大我,形塑新人的願望。梳理蘇聯思潮轉變(理想的公民從泰勒式的機械人到有情有靈魂的個體;強調意識以控製並利用自發的情感)。日記作為一種自傳形式,濫觴於舊俄知識分子自我詰問,以及歐洲清教徒記敘救贖曆程的傳統。其在蘇聯時期重新流行,呼應彼時文學界對紀實而非虛構的強調,乃至兒科專傢假齣版日記來證明社會環境如何影響個人的心理發展。這些日記消弭瞭公與私,個人與社會的分野,一再錶明日記主人清醒地意識到自身處於曆史性的時刻,有責任以曆史主體的身份參與到社會主義建設當中去,卻又不期然泄漏齣他們的孤獨和恐懼、認同危機、與閤理化周遭事物的努力。
