Description
Like all other titles in the "History at Source" series, this book contains both written and visual sources, making it a practical "handbook" for sixth-form students of 20th century Russia. Considerable attention is paid to the 1980s. Attention is given not just to political history but also to cultural matters, social problems, economic concerns and the implications of glasnost and perestroika. Practical advice, specimen answers, essay plans and a short contextual introduction to each section are also included.
