A landmark work in Soviet political studies, Soviet Government: A Selection of Official Documents on Internal Policy presents a carefully curated collection of primary source documents drawn directly from the machinery of Soviet governance. Edited by Mervyn Matthews, a leading British scholar of Soviet society, the volume compiles decrees, directives, and policy statements that illuminate how the USSR administered its vast internal affairs — from social welfare and education to labour regulation and state control. The collection offers scholars and general readers alike an unfiltered window into the bureaucratic language and ideological priorities that shaped everyday life under Soviet rule. Academic in tone yet accessible in its organisation, this anthology remains an indispensable reference for understanding the inner workings of one of the twentieth century's most consequential political systems.
