In this compact book, Stephen Kotkin shows that the Soviet collapse resulted not from military competition but, ironically, from the dynamism of Communist ideology, the long-held dream for "socialism with a human face". The neo-liberal reforms in post-Soviet Russia never took place, nor could they have, given the Soviet-era inheritance in the social, political and economic landscape. Kotkin takes us deep into post-Stalin Soviet society and institutions, into the everyday hopes and secret political intrigues that affected 285 million people, before and after 1991. He conveys the high drama of a superpower falling apart while armed to the teeth with millions of loyal troops and tens of thousands of weapons of mass destruction. "Armageddon Averted" vividly demonstrates the overriding importance of history, individual ambition, geopolitics and institutions, and deftly draws out contemporary Russia's contradictory predicament. 606 $aCommunism$zSoviet Union$xHistory 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistory$y1953-1985 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistory$y1985-1991 615 0$aCommunism$xHistory. 676 $a947.085 700 $aKotkin$b Stephen $0301208 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784573103321 996 $aArmageddon averted$9722178 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06124oam 22014294 450 001 9910779275703321 005 20230422050717.0 010 $a1-4552-9631-7 010 $a1-4552-8206-5 010 $a1-283-53578-5 010 $a9786613848239 010 $a1-4552-7896-3 035 $a(CKB)2550000000102377 035 $a(EBL)3014804 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000656650 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11412565 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000656650 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10635105 035 $a(PQKB)11541026 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3014804 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3014804 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10557504 035 $a(OCoLC)815731553 035 $a(IMF)IFFCEE0000000 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000102377 100 $a20020129d2000 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aInternational Finance and Financial Crises : $eEssays in Honor of Robert P.
