The Gorbachev Phenomenon: A Historical Interpretation

by Moshe Lewin

Book Overview

The "Gorbachev phenomenon" is seen as the product of complex developments during the last seventy years-developments that changed the Soviet Union from a primarily agrarian society into an urban, industrial one. Here, for the first time, a noted authority on Soviet society identifies the crucial historical events and social forces that explain Glasnost and political and economic life in the Soviet Union today.
