Stephen F. Cohen argues against the prevailing Cold War orthodoxies and totalitarian frameworks that dominated academic discourse, insisting instead on a more nuanced, historically grounded reading of Soviet development. The book chronicles the major ideological and political struggles within the Soviet Union — from the Bolshevik Revolution through Stalinism and beyond — revealing the genuine alternatives and contested paths that shaped the USSR's trajectory. Written with scholarly rigour yet accessible authority, Cohen illustrates how historical analysis itself became a political battleground, and why reimagining Soviet history matters profoundly for understanding the modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888016371931,"sku":"2026200009598-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c99daffb-401e-4459-9975-d252cb406c57.png?v=1781752911","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009598-secondhand-rethinking-the-soviet-experience-politics-and-history-since-1917","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
