Connor The End of Sovietology: From Soviet Studies to Post-Soviet Studies, by Alexander J. Motyl
Synopsis
With the breakup of the Soviet Union and the subsequent creation of the Commonwealth of Independent States, the nationality question has assumed central importance. In this collection of essays, twelve leading specialists analyze the current situation., How must Sovietology change as a result of the Soviet Union's collapse? Motyl and his colleagues suggest that the first step in reorientation of the field must involve recognizing the non-Russians and their republics as central to both Soviet politics and to the post-Soviet reality. The authors, all leading Sovietologists, illustrate how nationality interacted with and shaped ideology, law, elite recruitment, political repression, modernization, participation, political economy, and class. Each of the articles traces the relationship between nationality and aspects of the Soviet system up to the collapse of the USSR and the emergence in its stead of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The contributors not only provide a coherent interpretation of the demise of Soviet Communism, but they also sugest what dangers and opportunities lie in store for the Soviet Union's successor states.

    Really happy with this purchase. Both items are in excellent new condition, as described. The packaging was very well done. They were in a nice compact box that fit the books just right and an inner waterproof wrap which i greatly appreciated because we have had a lot of rain lately & unfortunately our mailbox flops open. It was nice to have dry books! Packing slip included. Based on this transaction, i definitely recommend this conscientious seller.

    The books were packed with care and arrived early. I was very pleased with the price I paid for the items I received. The books looked even better in person than they did in the photo. Although these are used paperback books, the condition they are in is like new. Overall, I am happy with this order. The seller did a great job!
