Description and Table of Contents
Description
In this revised and updated edition, Ronald Hingley considers the recent astonishing developments: the first steps towards liberalization, the collapse of communist rule throughout Russia's former satellite states, and above all the demise of Soviet communism and the disintegration of the USSR.
Russia's present can be better comprehended as the latest chapter in a long and enthralling history; a history--evoked here with the aid of over 200 illustrations--which is now being energetically reassessed by the Russians themselves.
