Blending first hand accounts of grassroots politics with an
original theory of social relations under communism, this 1997 book
seeks to explain one of the seminal events of this century: the
rebirth of politics in Russia amid the collapse of the USSR. The
authors trace the process from the pre-political period of
dissident activity, through perestroika and the appearance of
political groups and publications, elections, the formation of
political parties and mass movements, counter-revolution and coup
d'etat, the victory of democratic forces and the organization of a
Russian state; to the struggle of power in the post-communist
epoch, the violent end of the first republic and the contentious
relations engulfing its successor. By focusing on the popular
forces which accomplished Russia's political rebirth, rather than
the reforms of the Soviet establishment, this book offers an
original perspective on this critical period.
