Twentieth Century Russia: Eighth Edition - Tapa dura

This revised eighth edition traces the dramatic transformations of Russian society from the opening decades of the 20th century to the present day. In the light of revised theories, Professor Treadgold re-examines the rise of Russian Marxism from its early beginnings as an obscure radical movement to its full development as a successful vehicle for the seizure and maintenance of political power. He then examines the development of the Soviet government over the course of its 70-year history, including an account of the countries of the former Soviet Union since the collapse of communism.
