The paper discusses socio-psychological aspects of the Soviet policy of violence and describes diverse human reactions toward Communist authorities, both servile and rebellious. It also examines everyday problems and concerns of Vilnius inhabitants subjected to Communist indoctrination that intruded into all spheres of their existence. In this context, the author of the article scrutinizes such issues as a clothing in the occupied country, kulak stigma, some popular Soviet beliefs and propaganda narratives, and asymmetry in the perception of notions of an occupant and a victim of the occupation. Analysis of these elements gives an insight into the lives of ordinary people in the totalitarian state and reveals the darkest sides of Stalinist repressions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Polish Review is the property of University of Illinois Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
