Review # 1 was written on 2009-11-12 00:00:00 Michael Malecka A fair collection of observations on the 1917 Revolution, written during the height of Gorbachev's reforms. It's rather dated, but not without its redeeming moments. A number of chapters, particularly those regarding the peasantry, hint toward some of the studies that would emerge with the opening of archives in the 1990s. Still, considering the range of scholars involved, this volume is a disappointment.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-06 00:00:00 Roger Gray Very good, easy-to-read selection of essays that portrays Stalinism as an evolution of sovietism, rather than a throwback to neo-victorian values. The sections on family values, sexuality, and cultural unity are most interesting.
