This concise yet comprehensive textbook examines political, social,
and cultural developments in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet
period. It begins by identifying the social tensions and political
inconsistencies that spurred radical change in Russia's government,
from the turn of the century to the revolution of 1917. Peter Kenez
presents this revolution as a crisis of authority that the creation
of the Soviet Union resolved. The text traces the progress of the
Soviet Union through the 1920s, the years of the New Economic
Policies, and into the Stalinist order. It illustrates how
post-Stalin Soviet leaders struggled to find ways to rule the
country without using Stalin's methods - but also without openly
repudiating the past - and to negotiate a peaceful but antipathetic
coexistence with the capitalist West. This updated third edition
includes substantial new material, discussing the challenges Russia
currently faces in the era of Putin.
