A History of the Soviet Union From the Beginning to the End
A History of the Soviet Union from the Beginning to the End
Second Edition
Peter Kenez’s
A History of the Soviet Union from the Beginning to the End
examines
not only political change but also social and cultural developments. The book identi-
fies the social tensions and political inconsistencies that spurred radical change in the
government of Russia, beginning at the turn of the twentieth century, culminating in
the revolution of 1917. Kenez envisions that revolution as a crisis of authority that
posed the question, “Who shall govern Russia?” This question was resolved with the
creation of the Soviet Union.
Kenez traces the development of the Soviet Union from the Revolution, through
the 1920s, the years of the New Economic Policies – which he sees as crucial to
any interpretation of the history of the Soviet Union – and into the Stalinist order.
He shows how post-Stalin Soviet leaders struggled to find ways to rule the country
without using Stalin’s methods but also without openly repudiating the past, and to
negotiate a peaceful but antipathetic coexistence with the capitalist West. In this new
edition, he also examines the post-Soviet period, tracing Russia’s development up to
the present day.
Peter Kenez received his B.A. from Princeton University and his Ph.D. from Harvard
University. He is the author of many articles and books, including
Cinema and Soviet
Society, 1917–1953
, and
Varieties of Fear
. He is currently Professor of History at the
University of California, Santa Cruz.
