Abstract

A pivotal question in the historiography of Stalinism is the degree to which coercion or popular support drove the Soviet war effort in World War II. This article addresses this question by examining the mass mobilisation of women to labour in the vital wartime logging and timber industry. It examines the means by which women workers were recruited; the incentives or otherwise used to promote production; and the daily lives of these women. The principal purpose of the article is to evaluate the coercive and motivational mechanisms by which the Soviet party-state mobilised women for this punishing labour.
