Opis

Drawing on research based on access to recently-opened Soviet archives, this revised edition provides a thematic account of the nature of Stalinism. The book surveys the arguments about the origins of the Stalinist phenomenon and discusses the way in which the different faces of Stalinism (economic, social, cultural and political) changed over time. It concludes that the fall of the USSR was connected to the nature of Stalinism.
