Young Stalin
Interested in Stalin and Stalinism since Perestroika I bought this as a hardback as soon as it were published and then last year I got the same book in paperback as a present. The pressure of two books forced me to make a decision to start reading and now I’m more than two-thirds through it. I must say this is a very interested read. In Russia, during Brezhnev era, before Perestroika, I only heard whispers about Stalin epoch and, of course, didn’t now anything about Stalin youth and his involvement in the revolution, for example, the fact that most of all officials in 1917 - 1953 were his friends and acquaintances, and historical and personal factors that contributed to the development of Terror, like Conspiratia, banditry and murky world of double Okhrana agents. I also have the book by the same author “Stalin: The Court of the Red Tsar” that seems to be the follow-up although was written published earlier and I’m looking forward to reading it as soon as I finish “Young Stalin” book.
