Across the Revolutionary Divide: Russia and the USSR
1861-1945 offers a broad interpretive account of Russian
history from the emancipation of the serfs to the end of World War
II.
* Provides a coherent overview of Russia’s development from 1861
through to 1945
* Reflects the latest scholarship by taking a thematic approach
to Russian history and bridging the ‘revolutionary
divide’ of 1917
* Covers political, economic, cultural, and everyday life issues
during a period of major changes in Russian history
* Addresses throughout the diversity of national groups,
cultures, and religions in the Russian Empire and USSR
* Shows how the radical policies adopted after 1917 both changed
Russia and perpetuated an economic and political rigidity that
continues to influence modern society
