Covering the sweep of Russian history from empire to Soviet Union
to post-Soviet state, Russia's Long Twentieth Century is a
comprehensive yet accessible textbook that situates modern Russia
in the context of world history and encourages students to analyse
the ways in which citizens learnt to live within its system and
create distinctly Soviet identities from its structures and
ideologies. Chronologically organised but moving beyond the
traditional Cold War framework, this book covers topics such as the
accelerating social, economic and political shifts in the Russian
empire before the Revolution of 1905, the construction of the
socialist order under Bolshevik government, and the development of
a new state structure, political ideology and foreign policy in the
decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The authors
highlight the polemics and disagreements that energize the field,
discussing interpretations from Russian, emigre, and Western
historiographies and showing how scholars diverge sharply in their
understanding of key events, historical processes, and
personalities. Each chapter contains a selection of primary sources
and discussion questions, engaging with the voices and experiences
of ordinary Soviet citizens and familiarizing students with the
techniques of source criticism. Illustrated with images and maps
throughout, this book is an essential introduction to
twentieth-century Russian history.
