Cool stuff for commiephiles

I'm taking Professor Urban's class on Soviet history, particularly recent political history, at Catholic University and we haven't even been assigned this book yet, but I really enjoy it. It's extremely interesting to see how people who lived under a distorted version of Marxism reconcile history with Marx's theories and ideology. The book is great, good for anyone who wants an epilogue to the history of the Soviet Union.
