This is a comprehensive overview of 20th-century Russian history that treats the years from 1917 to 2002 as a single period and analyses the peculiar mixture of political, economic and social ingredients that made up the Soviet compound. It takes the reader from the age of Communist rule to the changes that occurred in 1991 and the more uncertain world of Yeltsin and Putin. Previously published as "A History of Twentieth-Century Russia", the book is brought up to 2002 and features a new introduction. Robert Service shows how, despite recent years of de-communization, the seven decades of Communist rule which penetrated every aspect of life in state, economy and society still continue to influence Russia today as it faces an uncertain future. He discusses continuing economic and social difficulties at the beginning of the 21st century, the military campaign in Chechnya, Russia's reduced role on the world stage and Putin' determination to restore its dignity as a nation.
