Description and Table of Contents
Description
Edited by eminent historian Ronald Grigor Suny, this unique collection of primary documents and important scholarly articles frames both the revolutionary changes and broad continuities in Soviet history. Organized chronologically and covering political, social, and cultural history from a variety of viewpoints, selections include official pronouncements and dissident manifestos, public speeches, private letters, and previously un-translated documents. An
introductory essay provides the broad outlines of Soviet history, while chapter introductions summarize the main features and historical debates of each period.
