This work provides an in-depth case-study of decision-making in the Soviet Union in the Stalin era. It focuses on the development of rail transport policy, upon which the entire economy as well as the country's defence were so crucially dependent. It analyses the role of institutional lobbies in shaping policy, and sheds new light on the Stakhanovite movement, and analyses for the first time the impact of the Great Purges on the railways. The work provides a critical examination of the adequacy of existing conceptualisations of the Stalinist state.

This work provides an in-depth case-study of decision-making in the Soviet Union during the Stalin era. It focuses on the role of the People's Commissariat of Ways of Communications (Narkomput) in shaping rail transport policy in the 1930s. The crucial importance of the railways for the economy and for the defence of the country placed Narkomput at the forefront of the political leadership's concerns in this period.
