Descrizione del libro

This collection of essays contributes to the understanding of Stalinist terror in the 1930s. Although Stalin remains the central personality in the terror, other leaders, institutions, and social groups played important roles, and by analyzing them helps to provide a more complete and balanced view of the phenomenon of the terror as a whole.
