The Soviet Union and the communist ideology on which it was founded
were central to a great number of people's lives and pivotal to
international relations for decades, most clearly in giving rise to
the Cold War. Soviet Communism provided an alternative path
forward, set apart from liberal capitalism and also from the
various strands of fascism that took root in the early twentieth
century, and its legacy can still be felt across the contemporary
globe. This innovative analysis of Soviet Communism offers a fresh
perspective on the Soviet Union's role in world politics by paying
particular attention to the influence of Soviet ideology and the
balance of power on different regions of the world, including the
West, the Third World, and the East European Soviet bloc. A central
theme of the book is the diverse effects nationalism had on the
Soviet Union, which the author argues not only played an important
and often overlooked part in shaping Bolshevik policy but also
contributed to the demise of Soviet Communism and the collapse of
the USSR.
