About this book
Reviews
'This book seems to me essential for anyone interested in Russia, dealing as it does with a dark strand in Russian life often ignored or glossed over - that mix of nationalism, religion and, often, anti-semitism - which we associate with Dostoevsky, Solzhenitsyn. Invaluable, for that matter, to anyone interested in politics. A solid, well-researched book, and a fascinating read.' - Doris Lessing
'Cosgrove's study is thoroughly researched and on a subject that has not been tackled in this way before...As the Soviet Union recedes into the past, it is particularly important that serious studies of its later development, such as this piece of living history, be published.' - Professor A. B. McMillin, School of Slavonic and East European Studies
'This is a meticulous, subtly calibrated and well-focused study which deepens our knowledge of the political crisis within the Soviet Union in the 1980s and early 1990s. It enables us better to understand both the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the ambiguous heritage with which the Russian Federation began its life.' - Professor Geoffrey Hosking, School of Slavonic and East European Studies
'This book provides a fascinating insight into the ideas and activities of members (many of them interviewed by the author) of a permitted Russian dissident nationalist pressure group during the last ten years of the USSR...Many of the views expressed by the 'heroes' of Simon Cosgrove's monograph have even greater relevance today, given the partial failure of the reckless 'post-Soviet experiment' and the growing authoritarian tendencies so evident in contemporary Russian society and political life.' - Martin Dewhirst,
