This article is a book review of "Social Control under Stalin and Khrushchev: The Phantom of a Well-Ordered State." The book is a collection of new research on the relationship between the state and society in the Soviet Union.

The book is organized chronologically, with sections focusing on the 1930s, the war and postwar Stalinist period, and the Khrushchev era. The essays in the book provide valuable insights into the techniques of social control and the conflicts and complexities within the Soviet system. Overall, the book offers a nuanced depiction of the goals and methods of the Soviet project.
