The Shortest History Of The Soviet Union by Sheila Fitzpatrick
From Lenin to Putin
A brisk, accessible survey that traces the Soviet state from revolutionary origins through Lenin’s policies, Stalin’s brutal centralization and industrialization, wartime survival and postwar reconstruction, Khrushchev’s thaw, Brezhnev-era stagnation, and Gorbachev’s reforms that precipitated collapse; it shows how ideology, coercion, institutions, and everyday social life shaped the economy, culture, and politics and assesses the contradictions and legacies that brought the Soviet experiment to an end.
