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.
