Roy Medvedev demonstrates, in engrossing and sharp detail, how the
vast gulf between Marxist-Leninist principles and official Soviet
attitudes and procedures turned vital theory into hollow dogma.
Focusing on the rigidities of official ideology, he makes
brilliantly clear the ways in which an excessively centralized and
cumbersome bureaucratic structure was disastrous for the economic,
intellectual, and moral development of Soviet society keeping it
dangerously insular in an era of increasing internationalism."
