O.P. <br/><br/>This English translation contains an autobiography by Mironov which was not in the Russian edition. It details his anti-Marxism philosophy while a student in Leningrad. "The author has assimilated a large body of foreign scholarship primarily "new social history" produced by Anglo-American authors along with a sprinkling of more broadly European economic and demographic history from the 1970s and 1980s which is effectively incorporated into his own very deep empirical knowledge. . The reader does not find in this extensively researched account the standard Soviet answers to specific historical questions. Mironov has abandoned most Soviet cliches though he still assumes that laws of Russian history can be identified based on social science theory and quantitative analysis Elise Kimerling Wirtschafter." "This is a massterful work that provides other scholars with a wealth of useful information while confrontimg them with an argument that compels a response - William G. Wagner." Maps.
