SMITH KATHLEEN E
Moscow 1956: The Silenced Spring
Harvard University Press Cambridge Massachusetts and London England: 2017. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. Joseph Stalin had been dead for three years when his successor Nikita Khrushchev stunned a closed gathering of Communist officials with a litany of his predecessor's abuses. Meant to clear the way for reform from above Khrushchev's "Secret Speech" of February 25 1956 shattered the myth of Stalin's infallibility. In a bid to rejuvenate the Party Khrushchev had his report read out loud to members across the Soviet Union that spring. However its message sparked popular demands for more information and greater freedom to debate. Moscow 1956: The Silenced Spring brings this first brief season of thaw into fresh focus. Drawing on newly declassified Russian archives Kathleen Smith offers a month-by-month reconstruction of events as the official process of de-Stalinization unfolded and political and cultural experimentation flourished. Smith looks at writers students scientists former gulag prisoners and free-thinkers who took Khrushchev's promise of liberalization seriously testing the limits of a more open Soviet system. But when anti-Stalin sentiment morphed into calls for democratic reform and eventually erupted in dissent within the Soviet bloc�notably in the Hungarian uprising�the Party balked and attacked critics. Yet Khrushchev had irreversibly opened his compatriots' eyes to the flaws of monopolistic rule. Citizens took the Secret Speech as inspiration and permission to opine on how to restore justice and build a better society and the new crackdown only reinforced their discontent. The events of 1956 set in motion a cycle of reform and retrenchment that would recur until the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. 448 pages 6-1/8 x 9-1/4 inches 28 halftones 1 map. Kathleen E. Smith is Teaching Professor in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. "Nineteen fifty-six was an important year in Russian history not because a war or a revolution began that year but because that is when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev gave a speech to a Communist Party congress in which he unmasked the monstrous crimes and mistakes of his predecessor Joseph Stalin. The content of the 'secret speech' the motivations behind it and in broad terms the waves it created are all familiar. But until this book the intricate and fraught ways that the confession played out in the Soviet Union were not� The thoroughness with which Smith introduces her characters lends the account a riveting immediacy."�Robert Legvold Foreign Affairs "An eloquent account� Smith draws persuasive comparisons between the failed reforms of the Khrushchev years and the post-2000 Russian government which has also prioritized its own survival over citizens' democratic rights."�Miriam Dobson London Review of Books "A provocative political history� Smith successfully recreates the triumph and tragedy of a society recovering from the ravages of despotism but still ensconced in the throes of an authoritarian political system. The meticulously researched and highly readable book takes us on a stimulating encounter with the members of the elites and intelligentsia in Soviet Russia who were both hopeful and fearful about the Post-Stalinist future."�Kumuthan Maderya PopMatters "In this fluent and engaging account Smith describes the unfolding events of 1956�the early bewilderment as details of Khrushchev's speech filtered out to Party members and society at large press responses as they began to explore 'acceptable' criticism and the exhilaration of the younger generation at the new atmosphere."�Charlotte Hobson The Spectator "A beautifully written work by a gifted historian. Many passages where Smith creates what might be described as a daybook of seemingly disparate events are nothing less than masterful."�Stephen V. Bittner author of The Many Lives of Khrushchev's Thaw "1956 was a watershed year in Russian political history as important as 1917. Kathleen Smith's account of this year is the most empathetic and complete I know. For anyone who wonders why Russia never did or will turn into North Korea read this book for a clear answer."�Vladislav Zubok author of Zhivago's Children "This fascinating book recounts how Khrushchev's denunciation of Stalin let loose a torrent of change in the Soviet Union. Filled with inspiring poignant stories of writers scientists students and others who dared to speak out Smith's account also illuminates the kind of resistance that thwarted liberalization then and continues to do so in Russia today."�William Taubman author of Khrushchev: The Man and His Era Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London England: 2017 hardcover

Vladivostok under Red and White Rule: Revolution and Counterrevolution in the Russian Far East, 1920-1922
Ex-library copy with the usual stamps and markings. Interior pages clean and unmarked; tight binding. 304 pages. Focusing attention upon Vladivostok because of its strategic location and its political, economic, and diplomatic importance, Smith analyzes the politcial effects of Russia's revolutionary wave, the withdrawal of American and Czechoslovak forces, the continued presence and meddling of the Japanese army and the Communist and non-Communist population. Finally, the author deals with the many efforts--political, diplomatic, and miltary--by various Russians and non-Russians of all political persuasions to settle the question of who would ultimately control eastern Siberia and why the Communists ultimately won the struggle.
