It was a long time ago, and it never happened anyway : Russia and the communist past /
Satter, David,1947-
New Haven, Conn. ; London : Yale University Press,
c2012.
"Satter explores the moral and spiritual crisis of Russian society. He shows how it is possible for a government to deny the inherent value of its citizens and for the population to agree, and why so many Russians actually mourn the passing of the Soviet regime that denied them fundamental rights. Through a wide-ranging consideration of attitudes toward the living and the dead, the past and the present, the state and the individual, Satter arrives at a distinctive and important new way of understanding the Russian experience." -- From publisher's description.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 307-364) and index.
