Mass Uprisings in the USSR Protest and Rebellion in the Post-Stalin Years

Until recent times, incidents of mass unrest in the USSR were shrouded in official secrecy. Now this pioneering work by historian Vladimir A. Kozlov has opened up these hidden chapters of Soviet history. It details an astonishing variety of widespread mass protests in the post-Stalin period, including workers' strikes, urban riots, ethnic and religious confrontations, and soldiers' insurrections. Kozlov has drawn on exhaustive research in police, procuracy, KGB, and Party archives to recreate the violent major uprisings described in this volume. He traces the historical context and the sequence of events leading up to each mass protest, explores the demographic and psychological dynamics of the situation, and examines the actions and reactions of the authorities.Kozlov, Valdimir A. is the author of 'Mass Uprisings in the USSR Protest and Rebellion in the Post-Stalin Years' with ISBN 9780765606686 and ISBN 0765606682.
