Beschreibung:
"Suraska's essay stands out as a towering example of clear thinking, based on the firm foundations of solid historical knowledge and creative theoretical interpretation."--from the Preface by John Lowenhardt, University of Glasgow
Aims to dispute popular interpretations of the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and explains how theories, such as totalitarian theory, have failed to examine the exigencies of arbitrary government. This book argues that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the result of an attempt by Gorbachev to concentrate political power.
