The End of the Soviet Empire: The Triumph of the Nations

by Hélène Carrère d'Encausse

Book Overview

Shows how the rise of nationalism in the former Soviet republics stripped the Communist Party of legitimacy and led inevitably to the revolution of 1991. D'Encausse does not see nationalism as a sinister phenomenon, arguing instead that it is the only means for Soviet society to renew itself.
