Shlapentokh undertakes a dispassionate analysis of the ordinary
functioning of the Soviet system from Stalin's death through the
Soviet collapse and Russia's first post-communist decade. Without
overlooking its repressive character, he treats the USSR as a
"normal" system that employed both socialist and nationalist
ideologies for the purposes of technological and military
modernization, preservation of empire, and expansion of its
geopolitical power. Foregoing the projection of Western norms and
assumptions, he seeks to achieve a clearer understanding of a
civilization that has perplexed its critics and its champions
alike.
