Sidney Ploss chronicles the turbulent decade following Stalin's death, detailing how competing factions within the Kremlin shaped — and were shaped by — the pressing demands of Soviet food production policy. The study argues that agricultural debates served as a critical arena for broader political conflict, revealing the fault lines between reformers and conservatives at the highest levels of Soviet governance. With scholarly precision and compelling authority, Ploss illustrates how Khrushchev's rise and eventual fall were inextricably linked to the successes and failures of agrarian policy. A foundational text for students of Soviet history and comparative politics, this work remains an essential reference for understanding the dynamics of authoritarian decision-making.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130765975771,"sku":"2026100008301-SECONDHAND","price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/40913c4f-ab82-4f11-bacb-c99c9b440fb3.png?v=1786589592","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008301-secondhand-conflict-and-decision-making-in-soviet-russia-a-case-study-of-agricultural-policy-1953-1963","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
