Soviet Union : A Very Short Introduction

Lovell, Stephen

Soviet Union : A Very Short Introduction - Oxford Oxford University Press 2009 - 151 - Very Short Introductions .

Almost twenty years after the Soviet Unions' end, what are we to make of its existence? Was it a heroic experiment, an unmitigated disaster, or a viable if flawed response to the modern world?

Taking a fresh approach to the study of the Soviet Union, this Very Short Introduction blends political history with an investigation into the society and culture at the time. Stephen Lovell examines aspects of patriotism, political violence, poverty, and ideology; and provides answers to some of the big questions about the Soviet experience.
