Collective Leadership in Soviet Politics

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of leadership in the Soviet Union from 1917 to 1991, this book examines the dynamics between individual leaders and collective governance. It analyzes the power strategies of key figures such as Lenin, Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, and Gorbachev, contrasting their approaches to maintaining authority with those of other oligarchs seeking to secure their positions. The study is set against the backdrop of emerging norms that shaped oligarch politics, making it a valuable resource for students and scholars of political leadership and Soviet history.
