How the Soviet Union Disappeared
An Essay on the Causes of Dissolution
Wisla Suraska
This book challenges popular theories on the collapse of the Soviet Union, arguing that it was caused by its despotic nature and inability to adapt to modern society. The author delves into various factors involved, such as Gorbachev's contest with Yeltsin and the rise of post-Marxist thought. This multidimensional study is based on numerous secondary sources, memoir literature, and new archival research. A fascinating read for those interested in Soviet studies, political science, communism, and nationalism.
