Siegelbaum recreates journeys of discovery and self-discovery in the tumult of student rebellion at Columbia University during the Vietnam War, graduate study at Oxford, and Moscow at the height of détente. His story takes the reader into the Soviet archives, the coalfields of eastern Ukraine, and the newly independent Uzbekistan.An intellectual autobiography that is also a biography of the field of Anglophone Soviet history, Stuck on Communism is a guide for how to lead a life on the Left that integrates political and professional commitments. Siegelbaum reveals the attractiveness of Communism as an object of study and its continued relevance decades after its disappearance from the landscape of its origin.Through the journey of a book that is in the end a romance, Siegelbaum discovers the truth in the notion that no matter what historians take as their subject, they are always writing about themselves. 606 $aCommunism$xHistoriography 606 $aHistorians$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSovietologists$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aSoviet Union$xHistoriography 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aRussian history, American history, communism, autobiography. 615 0$aCommunism$xHistoriography. 615 0$aHistorians 615 0$aSovietologists 676 $a947.084092 676 $aB 700 $aSiegelbaum$b Lewis H., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0128086 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793855103321 996 $aStuck on Communism$93825946 997 $aUNINA
