Product Information

Moshe Lewin's major new book is an original and important work that clarifies the sweeping changes that transformed Russia in the 20th century from a muzhik country to an urban power. As in his previous works, Lewin's extraordinary breadth of knowledge and sympathy allows him to deal with the grand narrative of cultural transformation that goes well beyond simple studies of urban growth or industrialization. The Soviet Union, as Lewin reminds us, was a rural country well into the post-World War II era, becoming predominantly urban only in the mid 1960s. The fascinating story that emerges from this book is one of a becoming increasingly more complex even as it retains a relatively primitive configuration of power. Lewin reveals the historical roots of recent change and shows how a largely bureaucratic apparatus simply lost the ability to govern a rapidly changing society. Laying bare the underlying causes of the present chaos in the former Soviet Union, he vividly portrays a government that barely understands the new forces in society that have been dramatically unleashed.
