The Ussr's Emerging Multiparty System
This is a minor tour de force-a guide, distinguished by clarity and brevity, to the polymorphous groups and "unofficial" movements (e.g., the popular fronts) burgeoning throughout the Soviet Union. Their origins (many much older than we knew), their evolution, their conflicts with each other and with the authorities, and their apparent direction are neatly laid out in this enlightening little book.
