Annotated Bibliography for
Soviet Russia 1917–1953
[ADVANCED HIGHER]
Faith Geddes
, Foreword
Since the introduction of the policy of glasnost or ‘openness’ in 1985, a great
deal of new evidence about the period 1917–1953 has emerged from Soviet
archives. Many new works by Russian and Western historians and updated
editions of older ones have been published. The emphasis in this bibliography
is on recent works, and the list is far from exhaustive. There is no implication
that the new evidence has rendered earlier works obsolete, or that works that
have been omitted are of less value. Many of the works included have
bibliographies on specific topics and attention has been drawn to some that
are particularly useful.
The bibliography in this booklet is divided into three parts:
Section 1 lists basic texts and study guides suitable for students.
Section 2 lists works more suitable for teachers or dissertation purposes.
Section 3 covers other sources, such as periodicals, audio-visual and
electronic media.
