Description and Table of Contents
Description
Gorbachev's "Perestroika" was the official vision of the USSR's future. Roy Medvedev provides an alternative picture of what is happening inside the Soviet Union. Medvedev examines the means employed by the Soviet regime to maintain its grip on power since the death of Stalin, and asks to what extent Gorbachev differs from his predecessors.
