Abstract

The article provides the analysis of rural population’s everyday life in the Soviet home front in 1941-1945. The study is based on the materials of a survey conducted among the rural residents of Staroshaigovsky district of Mordovia, who witnessed those events. Severe working conditions on collective farms, food shortage and hunger, poor material and living conditions, oppression from the authorities - the reminiscences of the war years are deeply imprinted in historical memory. The author concludes that the provided examples confirm the available information contained in the Russian archives and published documents.
