Myth, Memory, Trauma: Rethinking the Stalinist Past in the Soviet Union, 1953-70 (Eurasia Past and Present)

Drawing on newly available materials from the Soviet archives, Polly Jones offers an innovative, comprehensive account of de-Stalinization in the Soviet Union during the Khrushchev and early Brezhnev eras. Jones traces the authoritiesâ€™ initiation and management of the de-Stalinization process and explores a wide range of popular reactions to the new narratives of Stalinism in party statements and in Soviet literature and historiography.
Â
Engaging with the dynamic field of memory studies, this book represents the first sustained comparison of this process with other countriesâ€™ attempts to rethink their own difficult pasts, and with later Soviet and post-Soviet approaches to Stalinism.
