Description
From distinguished hero to disgraced enemy, the fall from grace of Lenin has been one of the most extraordinary events of recent years. Political psychologist Steven Kull argues that only a revolution in the thinking of Russia's leaders can explain the rapidity and relative peacefulness of this transformation. Based on interviews with members of the policy-making elites and the examination of public records, this book reveals the process by which the Soviets came to realize and accept the failure of Leninist ideology and identifies the key insights which have been forged into a new ideology of "new thinking".
