Reviews

This is a very important book, one of the very few books published since 1991 on the Russian question that will compel people (this reviewer included) long wedded to different characterizations of the post-1917 or post-1929 Soviet regime to think through their commitments. Loren Goldner, Insurgent Notes. Journal of Communist Theory and Practice, Fall 2012
