Exit Stalin : the Soviet Union as a civilization, 1953-1991

Smith, Mark B.2026
Books
With Stalin's death, the Soviet Union remained a repressive, harsh and belligerent place, but one which became more predictable for its citizens and one which made a genuine attempt to create the egalitarian, progressive country that the Russian Revolution had once promised. That this attempt would fail was not clear until the 1980s. Mark B. Smith's book recreates the day-to-day life of this vast state, the largest ever to exist.
