Soviet Local Politics and Government (1983) examines the local government system of the Soviet Union, an important part of the great bureaucracy that ran the country. The leading experts contributing to this book look at the wide range of duties that the local soviets managed, including supervision of the economic plan in their area, control over construction and agriculture, healthcare, housing, transport and infrastructure, and the attempts to adapt the local government system to new circumstances and requirements.
