A landmark work in Soviet studies, Rethinking the Soviet Experience: Politics and History Since 1917 presents a bold reassessment of mainstream Western interpretations of Soviet political history. Stephen F. Cohen argues against the prevailing Cold War orthodoxies and totalitarian frameworks that dominated academic discourse, insisting instead on a more nuanced, historically grounded reading of Soviet development. The book chronicles the major ideological and political struggles within the Soviet Union — from the Bolshevik Revolution through Stalinism and beyond — revealing the genuine alternatives and contested paths that shaped the USSR's trajectory. Written with scholarly rigour yet accessible authority, Cohen illustrates how historical analysis itself became a political battleground, and why reimagining Soviet history matters profoundly for understanding the modern world.
