Terror by Quota: State Security from Lenin to Stalin (an Archival Study)
ISBN: 9780300134254 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This original analysis of the workings of Soviet state security organs under Lenin and Stalin addresses a series of questions that have long resisted satisfactory answers. Why did political repression affect so many people, most of them ordinary citizens? Why did repression come in waves or cycles? Why were economic and petty crimes regarded as political crimes? What was the reason for relying on extra-judicial tribunals? And what motivated the extreme harshness of punishments, including the widespread use of the death penalty?
Through an approach that synthesizes history and... This original analysis of the workings of Soviet state security organs under Lenin and Stalin addresses a series of questions that have long resist... |

The Political Economy of Stalinism: Evidence from the Soviet Secret Archives
ISBN: 9780521533676 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Using formerly secret Soviet state and Communist Party archives to describe the Soviet administrative command system, this study concludes that the system failed not because of Stalin and later leaders, but because of the economic system. It pinpoints the reasons for failure such as poor planning, unreliable supplies, preferential treatment of indigenous enterprises as well as the basic principal-agent conflict between planners and producers, which created a sixty-year reform stalemate. Although the command system was the most significant human experiment of the twentieth century, its basic...

Russian National Income, 1885-1913
ISBN: 9780521528481 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This book presents estimates of the growth of the tsarist economy during the 'industrialization era', 1885 1913. The performance of the tsarist economy is compared with that of Soviet Russia during the plan era and of other industrialized countries during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Its main importance is to provide a frame of reference against which to contrast the Soviet performance. The author finds a stronger performance from the tsarist economy than the literature had led us to suspect, and he disputes several of the established views of economic historians...
