The Dilemmas of De-Stalinization

Reviews / Votes

'This book has an enduring appeal to the reading public' - Hiroaki Kuromiya

'This volume represents a welcome and important contribution to the scholarly literature on the Khrushchev era. Not only does it contain a diverse cross-section of recent research; it also presents a coherent approach to de-Stalinization as a sometimes fraught process of social and cultural negotiation - the interaction of local with national politics, of individual with offi cial voices, and of cultural production with reception. This book can be recommended to a wide readership, from undergraduate students to scholars interested in the social, cultural and political history of the Soviet Union.' - Susan Morrissey, Slavonic and East European Review (vol. 89, no. 2, April 2011)
