Book Description

Understand Stalin’s Russia is a compelling introduction to a man and a nation long enveloped in mystery. It covers all aspects of this fascinating history, from the shadows of Tsarism and the legacy of Lenin, to the implications of Stalin’s rule – including the horrific effects of the five-year plans, and the heroic but costly triumph in the Great Patriotic War.
