The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union

Published to coincide with the one hundredth anniversary of the Russian Revolution, and addressing the need for an authoritative and comprehensive reference work to enable users to make sense of-and to navigate around-a rapidly expanding research corpus, The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union is a new title from Routledge's Critical Concepts in Historical Studies series. Edited by Erik Landis (Oxford Brookes University), this six-volume collection is a one-stop 'mini library' of the foundational and the very best cutting-edge scholarship.

The Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union is supplemented with a full index and it also includes a comprehensive introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the collected material in its intellectual context. The collection is a landmark reference work and is destined to be valued by scholars and students as a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource.
