A landmark work in comparative political science, Politics in the USSR presents a rigorous and authoritative examination of the Soviet political system during the Cold War era. Frederick C. Barghoorn, a renowned Yale political scientist and expert on Soviet affairs, chronicles the structure and dynamics of Communist Party rule, detailing the mechanisms of power, ideology, and social control that defined the USSR. The work argues that understanding Soviet politics requires a deep engagement with the interplay between Marxist-Leninist doctrine and the pragmatic realities of governing a vast, multi-ethnic superstate. Part of the prestigious Little, Brown Series in Comparative Politics, this volume instructs readers on the institutional frameworks and elite power struggles that shaped one of the twentieth century's most consequential political orders. Scholarly yet accessible, it remains an indispensable reference for students of political science and Cold War history alike.
