State Laughter is written by Evgeny Dobrenko and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0198840411 (ISBN 10) and 9780198840411 (ISBN 13).
Stalin's reign of terror was not all doom and gloom, much of it was (meant to be) funny! Tracing the development of official humour, satire, and comedy, Dobrenko and Jonsson-Skradol do away with the idea that all humour in the USSR was subversive, instead exploring why laughter was a core component to the survival of the Soviet regime.
