Reviews for Across the Revolutionary Divide: Russia and the USSR, 1861-1945

There are different ways to write a survey of Russian history, and most of them have been tried many times. Yet Simon Dixon, the editor of this excellent three-volume series, has invited his authors to do something new. (Slavonic and East European Review, 1 April 2012) On the whole, there are many positives in this work. The thematic approach makes it clear that certain characteristics were present in both tsarist and Soviet times, and that significant continuities were evident within the political and social aspects of revolutionary Russia. (Revolutionary Russia, 2 December 2011) Recommended. Most levels/libraries. (Choice, 1 May 2011)
