PART 4
D. Works
DI. General Histories; DII. General Works on Specific Topics; DIII. Works on Specific Periods
A vast number – perhaps hundreds of thousands – of books and essays have been devoted to the
Soviet experience. This means that for each one of the titles listed below (see for instance the
bibliographies quoted in section CIb), hundreds more could be added. This list is thus very
selective, including what I believe to be the most important works and but a handful of articles and
dissertations. As I wrote in the introduction, and for the reasons given there, I have accorded
preference to material in Western languages. For the same reasons, I have listed important works in
Russian, Ukrainian, and other languages in translation, whenever possible.
Because most of the listed works have been, and often still are, important, or representative of
major trends and opinions, I asked myself whether it was appropriate to highlight some among
them. Ultimately I did so, guided by my personal preferences, not to diminish the others but in the
hope of enliving what could have seemed a dreary list.
The section has three main subdivisions. The first is devoted to general works on Tsarist history,
1861-1914; Soviet and Russian history; and history of the main Soviet republics and nationalities.
The second is arranged by topic. The third chronologically. A few works on other socialist
countries, as well as on the communist movement, have been included.
The thematic portion includes works of a more theoretical nature, or ambition, as well as those
covering large segments of Soviet history. In the chronological section I grouped the studies
exclusively or mainly devoted to specific periods, such as the civil war, the NEP, the 1930s, World
War II, the thaw, etc. Within each of these periods, I arranged the works once again by topic, such
as countryside, memoirs, foreign policy, etc.
