Synopsis

History of the Soviet Union from the Beginning to the End

About this title

Review:

'Few historians are as well qualified to write such a volume as Professor Kenez. A solid and conscientious scholar, author of several books on the early l920s and on the Soviet cinema, Kenez's work has always inspired confidence and the new book is no exception. It is lucid, amply documented, well organized, and occasionally brightened by flashes of quiet humour ... Above all, the book is thumpingly sensible.' The Times Literary Supplement

'Kenez has written an excellent book, and it is deserving of special attention by all who are interested in the rise and fall of the Soviet Union.' Mediterranean Quarterly

Book Description:

An examination of political, social and cultural developments in the Soviet Union. Kenez traces the development of the Soviet Union from the Revolution to the complacency and corruption of the Gorbachev years. In this second edition, he also examines the post-Soviet period, tracing Russia's development up to the time of publication.
