Citizens of the West have, for the most part, been told a very simplified story of the repressive 'totalitarian' state that was the USSR. In fact, it was sustained by more than just policing and force. No amount of revisionist history can erase the reality of millions controlled, imprisoned and killed, but there was much more to the USSR's one-party state than this.\"--\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martyn Whittock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472142403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472142405\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Robinson Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Martyn Whittock","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065815265535,"sku":"9781472142405","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cce01f7f-3f13-4131-bc13-08e640a8c649.jpg?v=1685403659","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-secret-history-of-soviet-martyn-whittock-9781472142405","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
