"Secret Policy: From Brezhnev to Gorbachev" completes a trilogy on the political history of Soviet Jewry. The first book, "Stalin's Secret Policy: Power and Anti-Semitism," was published in 2001 (a significantly revised and expanded edition was released in 2015), and the second, "Khrushchev's Secret Policy," was published in 2012.
As before, without anger or bias, the author delves into the country's past, this time not so distant, but still as obscured by mythology and therefore difficult to understand as, say, the Stalin period. Applying a proven methodology that involves studying the Jewish problem through the prism of general socio-political processes unfolding in the USSR, he now prioritizes the following specific topics: Jewish emigration from the USSR in light of its relations with the West; the Zionist movement; The creative intelligentsia and state anti-Semitism, its manifestations in various spheres of life; Jewish ethnocultural identity; the approaches of Leonid Brezhnev, Yury Andropov, and other Soviet leaders to resolving the Jewish question; anti-Zionist propaganda; the Russian Party; the legalization of Jewish public activity under Gorbachev; the surge of Judeophobia shortly before the collapse of the USSR; the phenomenon of the "Memory" Society; the mythologization of the consciousness of Soviet Jewry.
The book is intended for both historians and anyone interested in Russia's recent past.
