The Road to Post-Communism: Independent Political Movements in the Soviet Union, 1985-1991

by Geoffrey Hosking, Jonathan Aves, Peter J. S. Duncan

The revolution from above met up with the revolution from below with the ousting of Mikhail Gorbachev. This book details the growth of independent political movements on the ground since 1985 to the present day in the former Soviet Union. The authors show how these movements grew and became a real factor in Soviet politics and what role they play in the necessary development of civil society as is known to true democracies.
