Acclaimed historian, and retired Alec Nove Chair in Russian and
East European History at the University of Glasgow, Geoffrey Swain,
has written extensively on the history of Russia and Eastern Europe
during the twentieth century, in particular on Russia during the
Civil War, Latvia during the first years of Soviet rule, and the
career of Josip Broz Tito. Esteemed for his pursuit of historical
enquiry which went "against the grain" of commonly accepted views
of communism in power, significantly, Swain also explored the
strength or coherence of some of the alternatives that emerged to
the paths actually taken, themes which, in their own way, run
through this collection of essays, featuring contributions
predominantly from papers delivered at the 7th CRCEES Research
Forum in July 2015. Honoring the critical tradition and at times
contentious work of Geoffrey Swain, this volume comprises seven
original articles offering alternative insights into the
complexities of Russian, Yugoslav and Latvian history, which are
complemented by three essays reviewing his work, it's context and
implications. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Europe-Asia Studies.
