Can Soviet society be considered a fully-fledged civilization? Why did millions of people perceive the Soviet Union not as a regime, but as their home? Was the collapse of the USSR a systemic failure or the result of targeted dismantling? This book is an attempt to understand how, over seven decades, an alternative model of society emerged, with a unique morality, work ethic, type of government, and attitude toward humanity. Sergei Kara-Murza combines cold analysis with an almost anthropological immersion in the phenomenon of the USSR, revealing contradictions: a planned system that gave rise to breakthroughs in space exploration and universal literacy; an ideocracy that nurtured dissenters; and a totalitarianism that provided unprecedented social mobility. There is no nostalgia or propaganda here—only analysis and attention to detail. This publication is recommended for historians, political scientists, researchers of the Soviet era, and proponents of alternative social models, as well as critical readers tired of one-sided assessments of the past.
