"The End of the Communist Revolution" puts "perestroika" firmly in its long-term historical perspective, as the final stage of a long revolutionary process, and within the context of Leninism, Stalinism and Breshnevism. Daniels puts forward a new interpretation of the striking events in the latter half of the 20th-century which led to the downfall of Gorbachev and Communism in the late Soviet Union. Embracing the whole Soviet experience since 1917, he argues that Gorbachev's reforms did not constitute a new revolution, but a "moderate revolutionary revival" with a return to the decentralist, anti-imperial principles that inspired the original moderate phase of the Russian Revolution of 1917. Emphasizing continuity with the past, Daniels questions conventional solutions about future political and economic alternatives in the region. By stressing the way that reform unfolded, not just in the Breshnev era, but in the long historical background, Daniels provides an original and integrated interpretation of Soviet history.

"Daniels puts Perestoika firmly in its long-term historical perspective by placing it in a broad theory of revolutionary process, within the context of Leninism, Stalinism and Breshnevism. In this systematic interpetation of the Soviet experience, he places it as the final stage in a broad theory of revolutionary process beginning with the Russian Revolution of 1917. He puts forward a new interpretation of the striking events that led to the downfall of Gorbachev and Communism in the late Soviet Union. Emphasizing continuity with the past, he argues that Gorbachev's reforms did not constitute a new revolution, but a `moderate revolutionary revival', with a return to the principles that inspired the original moderate phase of the Russian Revolution. He concludes by questioning conventional solutions for future political and economic alternatives in the region." ; Ex-Library; 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Codice articolo 48156
