Volume Two of this new documentary history of the Soviet Union
comprises over 270 documents and is organised into four
chronologically distinct parts, subdivided thematically; it runs
from the fraught diplomatic and military preamble of the Great
Patriotic War to the final fracturing of the USSR along the
national fault-lines of its 15 Union Republics. Slight overlap of
chronological coverage with Volume One allows increased attention
in Volume Two to foreign affairs. Areas in this volume that attract
greatest student interest are the epic dramas at the beginning and
end of the period -- the Great Patriotic War and Perestroika. The
commentary is by Edward Acton, Professor of Modern European History
at the University of East Anglia, who has published widely on the
Russian revolution and the history of Russia and the USSR. The
documents have been translated by Tom Stableford, Assistant
Librarian, Slavonic and East European Collections, Bodleian
Library, Oxford.
