内容説明
Described as "one of the most tragic human experiences in human history", the Soviet Union as an empire holds much intrigue and fascination for the Western world. It held unquestionable status as an empire, with its coverage of over 100 nationalities. This text presents the narrative history of the USSR, from the last years of Stalin to the chequered fate of Gorbachev's reform policies and the ultimate collapse of the empire under manifold centrifugal pressures. Focusing upon political, economic, social and cultural developments, the book is divided into four parts: the last years of Stalin; Nikita Krushchev's abortive attempts to reform Communist rule; the years 1964-1985, covered largely by Breshnev's long tenure of power; and lastly Gorbachev's abortive attempts to promote a reformed, "democratic", communism. The book is intended for students (from GCSE level upwards) of modern Soviet history and students and general readers interested in dictatorship and the growth and fall of the Soviet Empire.

内容説明
Described as `one of the most tragic human experiences in human history', the Soviet Union as an empire holds much intrigue and fascination for the Western world. It held unquestionable status as an empire, with its coverage of over 100 nationalities. Its status as the `Last of the Empires' depends on what the future may hold, but any future `empires' will undoubtedly be based on intellectual and institutional foundations far different from those developed during the Soviet era. Here John Keep presents the narrative history of the USSR, from the last years of Stalin, to the chequered fate of Gorbachev's reform policies, and the ultimate collapse of the empire under manifold centrifugal pressures. Focusing upon political, economic, social, and cultural developments, the book is divided into four parts; the last years of Stalin; Nikita Krushchev's abortive attempts to reform Communist rule; the years 1964-1985, covered largely by Breshnev's long tenure of power; and lastly Gorbachev's abortive attempts to promote a reformed, `democratic', communism.
This book is intended for students (A-level upwards) of modern Soviet history; students and general readers interested in dictatorship and the growth and fall of the Soviet Empire.
