This is an interpretative history of the Russian Empire and Soviet
Union between 1850 and 1991. During this tumultuous period, the
countries of this vast area were transformed from traditional,
agrarian societies into modern industrial states. Like China, the
Soviet Union underwent this transition under the banner of
communism. After introductory chapters on traditional Russian
history and lifeways, David Christian discusses how these
transformations affected both governments and ordinary citizens,
what they gained, what they endured, and why the Communist
experiment ultimately failed.
