ABSTRACT

First Published in 1962, Russia under Kruschev is a comprehensive collection of articles from Problems of Communism, a journal published by U.S. Information Agency. These provide a chronological and thematic commentary on internal developments in Soviet Union varying from the changes in official ideology to the latest development in Soviet agriculture. They provide the broadest picture of the political, economic, and cultural trends of Kruschev’s Russia, and represent a galaxy of writing talent including work by Carew Hunt, Lowenthal, Avon, Dallin, de Jouvenel, Peter Wiles and others. This is an interesting read for scholars of Russian history and Soviet history.
