Thus it is concerned with how agencies of both the Communist Party and the state apparatus not only implemented directives from above but also responded to perceived successes and failures, chose to produce, share, and conceal information, and reacted when common citizens injected themselves into governance by making demands and complaints.BureaucracySoviet UnionHistoryRegionalismSoviet UnionHistorySoviet UnionPolitics and governmentElectronic books.BureaucracyHistory.RegionalismHistory.379.47Holmes Larry E(Larry Eugene),1942-520161MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455186203321Grand theater841299UNINA
