Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text contains approaches to the interaction between regime and society in 20th-century Russia. It aims to offer new answers to familiar questions: how useful is "totalitarianism" as a model to categorize authoritarian regimes?; what chances existed for tsarism to establish itself as a constitutional monarchy?; were Trotsky and Lenin dictators in waiting?; how did the Bolsheviks make the Lenin cult?; what opposition did intellectuals offer in the Soviet regime?; and what is the nature of contemporary Russian constitutionalism? The book is aimed at historians, political scientists, sociologists and everyone interested in modern Russia, and departments of Russian and East European studies; politics (political thought, Leninism, 20th-century modern economy); history (intellectual history); and sociology (evolution of society).
