In the shadow of the Kremlin's shifting power, Soviet Politics Since Khrushchev presents a rigorous and penetrating examination of the USSR's political landscape in the turbulent years following Nikita Khrushchev's dramatic ouster in 1964. This landmark anthology assembles leading scholars and analysts to dissect the structural transformations, factional struggles, and ideological recalibrations that reshaped Soviet governance under the Brezhnev era and beyond. The volume chronicles the transition from Khrushchev's erratic de-Stalinization campaigns to a more calcified collective leadership, illuminating the tensions between reform and orthodoxy that defined an entire generation of Soviet statecraft. Edited by Alexander Dallin and Thomas B. Larson — two titans of Cold War Soviet studies — this collection illustrates the intricate interplay between party bureaucracy, military influence, and economic policy with remarkable analytical precision. Each contributed essay argues a distinct dimension of post-Khrushchev governance, from foreign policy realignments to the suppression of internal dissent, together constructing a comprehensive mosaic of a superpower at a crossroads. For students of political science, historians of the Cold War, and anyone seeking to understand the forces that ultimately shaped — and ultimately doomed — the Soviet system, this volume remains an indispensable and thought-provoking resource.
