The Stability of Occupational Structures, Social Mobility, and Interest Formation: The USSR as an Estatist Society in Comparison with Class SocietiesFootnote^*

^*Part of this study was made possible by travel grants to the USSR from the German Research Society (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and through a project headed by Prof. Klaus Westen and Dr. Hans-Erich Gramatzki (Freie Universität Berlin) sponsored by the Volkswagen Foundation. I should like to use this opportunity to thank the foundations.
