CHAPTER 15. CCCP

Bibliographical Note
. No subject has been more blighted than Soviet history by political passions and by special pleading. The best overview is that of Geoffrey Hosking,
History of the Soviet Union
(London, 1985); Bertrand Russell’s
Theory and Practice of Bolshevism
(London, 1919), written by a former sympathizer whose eyes were opened, remains a valuable antidote to the thousands of Westerners who took Soviet propaganda at face value. The authors to avoid include Sidney Webb, E. H. Carr and Jerry Hough. Even among sceptical commentators, however, a strong tendency remains to equate the Soviet Union with Russia, and readers need to make a conscious effort to supplement their general reading with an outline knowledge of the fifteen Soviet republics. The most convenient introduction to the history of Estonia is by Mati Laur,
A History of Estonia
(Tallinn, 2004).
