Researchers continue to ponder and argue over how ?revolutionary?, as opposed to ?evolutionary? (or ?reformatory?) these changes were. In this new study, author Pawe? Ukielski proposes the term ?counterrevolution? to describe the historical process that took place and uses it as an analytical construct to better understand the crisis of Soviet communism and the subsequent transitions that took place. Pawe? Ukielski Ph. D. is a political scientist, historian and an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Political Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences. . 410 0$aCentral and Eastern European Perspectives on International Relations,$x2947-7999 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aComparative government 606 $aRussia$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Eastern$xHistory 606 $aSoviet Union$xHistory 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aRussian, Soviet, and East European History 606 $aInternational Relations 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aRussia$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Eastern$xHistory. 615 0$aSoviet Union$xHistory. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 14$aPolitical History. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aRussian, Soviet, and East European History. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 676 $a320.09 700 $aUkielski$b Pawe?$01765183 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910879578603321 996 $a1989 in Central Europe$94206545 997 $aUNINA
