As the title says, it’s a very brief study of Soviet history. That said, it’s written by an eminent Sovietologist and it does a good job in giving the reader a rounded understanding of the key players, trends and events. Well worth a read to get a basic understanding of what was a major global power in the 20th century and helps better understand what is driving some of the current Russian politics.

Aproape că i-am scăzut o stea pentru că este incoerent (dez)organizată (nu are o structură clară ci funcționează prin alunecare - vorbește de divorț deci trece la femei deci apoi la copii de la care la infractori juvenili de la care la justiție apoi la bărbați și de la ei înapoi la copii prin pensia alimentară șamd), dar rămâne de 5 pentru că este cea mai comprehensivă descriere a tuturor aspectelor vieții de zi cu zi a sovieticilor anilor 30. Un mare plus este faptul că este vorba de cetățenii banali, nu de lideri, în fond o mare nedreptate a istoriografiei în general (după ce că liderii le-au furat tot, le fură în continuare și posteritatea, cărțile fiind tot despre tirani, nu victime).
Spre marea mea scârbă, 90% din ce am citit acolo (minus Gulagul) am recunoscut perfect în România anilor 80 prin care am trăit (adică noi am reușit să fim cu 50 de ani întârziați față de cei mai dobitoci primitivi nemernici ai Europei și să le păstrăm toate relele, în ciuda experienței negative).
O carte echilibrată (deloc pătimașă, ba în opinia mea cam blândă cu sovieticii și Stalin) pe care o recomand drept medicament amar tuturor nostalgicilor de vârsta a 3a sau 1 (că din fericire nostalgici de vârsta a 2a nu am cunoscut).

The Russian Revolution had a decisive impact on the history of the twentieth century. In the years following the collapse of the Soviet regime and the opening of its archives, it has become possible to step back and see the full picture. Starting with an overview of the roots of the revolution, Fitzpatrick takes the story from 1917, through Stalin's 'revolution from above', to the great purges of the 1930s. She tells a gripping story of a Marxist revolution that was intended to transform the world, visited enormous suffering on the Russian people, and, like the French Revolution before it, ended up by devouring its own children. This updated edition contains a fully revised bibliography and updated introduction to address the centenary, what does it all mean in retrospect.… (meer)

A great introduction to the history of the Soviet Union. Very easy to read and understand. Peaked my interest to look into some areas further. With all that is currently going on in the world, it's vital that we understand the Russian people better.
