Soviet Briefing: Gorbachev And The Reform Period

Autor Ben Eklof
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 oct 2019
In writing this book I incurred a number of debts, which I now gratefully acknowledge. During a year at the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies in the Wilson Center of the Smithsonian Institution, I attended many seminars and discussions on current events. In one way or another the ideas, information, and debates that took place during my stay contributed to my opinions and shaped the direction of my research; unfortunately I cannot list all the names of those from whom I benefited. The Kennan Institute itself provided a stimulating and supportive environment for my work. I am especially thankful to Peter Reddaway and Ted Taranovski for all they have done.

Descriere

This book represents an attempt to chronicle the events of the Gorbachev period that will ultimately rank with others perhaps less monumental than the revolutionary year of 1917 but nevertheless marking real turning points in Russian and Soviet-and perhaps global-history.
