  • Controversies in Soviet Social Thought

    Democratization, Social Justice and the Erosion of Official Ideology

    by Murray Yanowitch ...
    Over the past several years observers have become aware of what might be called the "expansionary logic" of the reform debate in the Soviet Union. Punctuated by periods of reaction and retreat, successive phases of reform momentum have brought to the fore ideas and proposals that only months before had been considered too radically unorthodox for prudent discussion. In this account, Murray ... Read more

The selections on work attitudes that appear in this volume are a small sample of the considerable Soviet literature from recent years that ... Read more

    by Murray Yanowitch ...
    Series series Routledge Revivals
    This title was first published in 1977. The Soviet Union is a socially divided society.

  • A Voice of Reform

    Essays

    by Tatiana I. Zaslavskaia, Murray Yanowitch, A. Schultz ...
    First Published in 1989. It has become common, both in Soviet and in Western writings about the USSR, to characterize the early 1980s (the immediate pre-Gorbachev period) as years of stagnation or, at the very least, near stagnation in the Soviet system. Since the sudden outburst of reformist thinking since 1985 it is clear there is actually an elaboration and reinforcement of concepts and ideas ... Read more
