Description

The collapse of the Soviet Union and its replacement by the Commonwealth of Independent States has renewed interest in Russian and Soviet history. Yet, the plethora of materials has created the need for basic references that will add background and in-depth analysis that are lacking in many journalistic reports. This selected bibliography includes currently available works on Sovietology in the English language. The citations include books, pamphlets and a selection of articles culled from scholarly periodicals. A selection of reference books, a glossary, and author/title and subject indexes round out this guide to the literature on the tumultous 74-year history of the Soviet Union. With its inclusion of works on ideology, literature, science, education and ethnic groups, as well as history and political developments, this volume is intended for the use of all those involved with Soviet Studies. Among the earlier publications of Abraham and Hershel Edelheit are "Bibliography of Holocaust Literature", "Jewish World in Modern Times" and "A World in Turmoil".
