«This monograph has many strengths and will assist the reader to fully understand how the Communist Party attempted to permeate all aspects of society. The chapters are based on clear and focused case studies ... An excellent contribution to the post-1989 historiography on communism. It offers a refreshing approach to understanding both ideology and society through a novel focus on time and space.»
