TextPublisher: Peter Lang International Academic Publishers, Description: 1 online resource (195 p.)ISBN: 9783653064735Subject(s): History / Europe / Eastern | HistoryGenre/Form: Electronic books.Online resources: View this content on Open Research Library. Summary: The author analyzes modern Russian history from a new perspective. Due to the ideological heritage of the XIXth and XXth centuries, the social settings of the sociopolitical history of the USSR (1917â€"1945) have not been fully identified. Detailed examination of ideological and political concepts shows that the revolution of 1917 became not a middle class, proletarian movement, but rather a plebeian one. The misjudgment by the new power enabled growth but caused tremendous losses of human lives and material damages. Socialization of economy and strict centralization led to a new social structure and established terror as an instrument for social reorganization. WWII revealed the necessity of a correction of these developments, but the events of the Cold War circumvented any further considerations.
