"Secret Politics: From Brezhnev to Gorbachev" is the completion of a trilogy on the political history of Soviet Jewry, the first book of which, "Stalin's Secret Politics. Power and Anti-Semitism" appeared in 2001 (its significantly revised and expanded edition was published in 2015), and the second, "The Secret Politics of Khrushchev", in 2012. As before, without anger and bias, the author plunges into the domestic past, this time - not so distant, but still as obscured by mythology and therefore difficult to understand as, say, the Stalinist period. Applying a well-established methodology, which implies the study of the Jewish problem through the prism of general socio-political processes taking place in the USSR, he now gives priority to the following specific topics: Jewish emigration from the USSR in the 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 ethno-cultural identity; the approaches of Leonid Brezhnev, Yuri Andropov, and other Soviet leaders to the solution of the Jewish question; anti-Zionism; the role of the Soviet Union in the development of the Soviet Union; and the role of the Soviet Union in the development of the Jewish identity. The book is intended for both specialist historians and all those interested in the recent past of our country.
