Recenzii
'In this highly original study, Libman and Obydenkova show that the saturation of Communist Party membership in various regions of Russia during the Soviet period remains associated with such contemporary phenomena as lower levels of inequality and democracy and greater bureaucratic corruption – decades after the demise of the Soviet state. In so doing, they adeptly demonstrate the Communist Party's persisting legacies for contemporary Russia.' Mark R. Beissinger, Henry W. Putnam Professor of Politics, Princeton University
'Libman and Obydenkova's study of Communist Party legacies in Russia takes the discussion of this phenomenon to a new level. An impressive combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis, brimming with thickly descriptive asides about Soviet and post-Soviet life.' Timothy Colton, Harvard University
'Using a wealth of novel data, Libman and Obydenkova demonstrate how variation in Communist Party membership across regions in Russia in the Soviet period have shaped the politics and economics of post-Soviet Russia in important and intriguing ways. This book should be high on the list for anyone interested in Russian politics and the impact of the past on the present.' Timothy Frye, Columbia University
'How much of what we see in Russia can be attributed to the persistent legacy of Communist rule? This book tackles this important question with ingenuity and persistence, breaking down 'communism' into potential vectors of influence on political, social, economic, and cultural outcomes we observe today. The focus on how different degrees of CPSU saturation in population across Russian regions is particularly welcome, given political, institutional, social, and cultural variation across the country.' Alexandra Vacroux, Harvard University
'By focusing on the important and often subtle long-term effects of subnational variations in Communist Party penetration during the Soviet period, this carefully researched, ambitious and well-written book, makes a significant contribution to our understanding of communist legacies in Russia and beyond, as well as to our broader understanding of the mechanisms underlying the emergence and persistence of historical legacies of authoritarian regimes.' Grigore Pop-Eleches, Princeton University
'This book asks a crucially important question to the understanding of the links between Soviet and post-Soviet politics. How has the system that has grown up in Russia been influenced by legacy of the Communist system, and in particular the all powerful Communist Party of the Soviet Union? This invaluable book explores the legacy of the party in the practice of politics in Russia today. A must read for anyone who really wants to understand the links between the Soviet past, and the Russian present.' Kathryn Stoner, Stanford University
'The [Historical Legacies of Communism] makes a significant contribution to the literature … is a must-read for those interested in communist legacies and postcommunist developments' Liu Peng, Europe-Asia Studies
