Post-communism and the Russian public
This book, based on a survey by the Sociology Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences completed in April 2011, provides, in the opinion of this reviewer, one of the most comprehensive accounts so far published of Russian opinion during the twenty years since the fall of communism.

On realpolitik and its limitations
A largely peaceful collapse of dictatorships both in the communist world and beyond occurred in 1989. That year also saw one notable failure: the violent suppression of peaceful protest in Tiananmen Square, raising the perennial question of how far dictatorships can be effectively undermined by non-violent methods. This review article offers no definitive answer to the question but provides a series of specific case-studies from different countri…

The teaching of history in Putin's Russia
During the period since the collapse of the USSR, a number of different history books have appeared in Russia. The book under review was published in Moscow in 2007 and appears to be the first textbook officially endorsed by the authorities. It has stirred up considerable controversy in Russia where liberals have portrayed it as an uncritical eulogy of President Putin and an attempt to gloss over Stalin's record. However, despite its sometimes po…

On comparing Nazism and Stalinism
This article discusses Richard Overy's book comparing the regimes of Hitler and Stalin. The book seeks not just to describe, but also to explain the way the two systems functioned. With this in view the book compares them on a detailed topic-by-topic basis and recognizes that the two systems were in important ways fundamentally different, while concluding that both based their power not just on the personality of the leader, but also on substanti…

The Russian media in post‐Soviet conditions
THIS ARTICLE (partly based on interviews with Russian editors and journalists) is concerned with developments in the Russian media from the end of 1991 up until the middle of 1995: it does not deal with the parliamentary election campaign in that year. For Russian journalists, the period following the collapse of the USSR was, of course, one of turbulent transition. There were times, especially after the storming of the old parliament in October …
