Stalin's Russia (Reading History) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

The ebb and flow of debate about Stalin's Russia is captured in this account, which conceptualizes the field clearly, offering a synthesis of the secondary literature in the area, and also providing the author's own evaluation of the key issues. This edition takes into account the new opportunities afforded to historians - both Russian and Western - by the collapse of communism and the greater availability to researchers of archival sources. It acknowledges the various problems and perspectives in interpretation that have emerged since the end of the Soviet Union, and now includes a chapter on Stalin's foreign policy.
