Professor's book
Princeton University Stephen Kotkin is dedicated to the last two
decades of the Soviet Union and the first decade of post-Soviet Russia.
By focusing on the political elites of these states and on
structural transformations that caused the collapse of one of them and the emergence
another, the author refers to several subjects. To headed by Gorbachev
party generation, formed under the deep influence of the socialist
idealism. To the expectations of 285 million people who lived in real space
socialism. Towards a planned economy and its typical institution - a huge,
inefficient and unwieldy factory. Since the movement of history is not
does without accidents and unforeseen circumstances, the book tells
about concrete attempts to adhere to one or another political course, and
also about the unexpected results of such attempts. Since the collapse of the Soviet
the systems and contradictions of the 1990s cannot be understood outside the context of change,
occurred in the world after the Second World War, this story is
both historical and geopolitical.
