A well thought out critique of Soviet Socialism from the early beginnings and origins to the, some say inevitable, downfall.

Malia shows how the series of Terrors hammered the populations of the Soviet Union into the mold that made them tools to be used and disposed of by the Party.

In parallel, I read Anne Applebaum's "Gulag: a History" and reading and comparing the evolution of the Gulag in lock step with the developments in larger Soviet command state made clear the fact that all Soviet citizens occupied a vast prison. The Gulag merely was a prison within a prison, able and willing to requisition bodies as needed from the outer prison whenever some more blood was needed to grease the wheels of the Train of History.… (altro)
