Summary	Walter Connor shows how the seven decades since Stalin launched the First Five Year plan have changed Soviet workers from a disorganized mass of unskilled ex-peasants into something very much like a class--not the working class intended by Lenin and Stalin but a new and powerful ""accidental proletariat, "" produced by forces partly beyond the state's control. Does this new ""proletariat"" threaten glasnost and perestroika? To address that question, Connor examines the growth of the new ""class"" and its role in the crisis-ridden politics of Gorbachev's USSR. In this book, as in his earlier.
