A very detailed account of Russia's govt
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I read this book for a college history class. I liked it and I learned a great deal from it. It was long which made it tedious for me at times. But my professor told me that in light of all that has gone on in Russia, this was short. He said for an accurate account, it couldn't be much shorter. So I plowed through it and now I know so much about Russia. It's a very informative book if you have the time and will to read it. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to understand Russia today!
This book details why the Soviet Union collapsed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This book shows from an individual's point of view, why the Soviet Union collapsed so quickly and completely. Who was Gorbechev and where did he come from. How did the Baltic states rise up and succeed. Why are the central Asian republics in ferment and uprising. It details the horrendous consequences of failed socialism. The mass executions of Stalinism, the ecological disasters of Breshnev and the simmering discontent and disillusionment of the populace are all presented thoughfully. This was a massive undertaking and although it is slow at times, after reading this book you could apply for the US Ambassadors' position in Moscow.
