À propos de ce contenu audio
One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times
From the editor of The New Yorker: a riveting account of the collapse of the Soviet Union, which has become the standard book on the subject. Lenin’s Tomb combines the global vision of the best historical scholarship with the immediacy of eyewitness journalism. Remnick takes us through the tumultuous 75-year period of Communist rule leading up to the collapse and gives us the voices of those who lived through it, from democratic activists to Party members, from anti-Semites to Holocaust survivors, from Gorbachev to Yeltsin to Sakharov. An extraordinary history of an empire undone, Lenin’s Tomb stands as essential reading for our times.

"An eloquent and riveting oral history of an epochal moment of change." —Michael Ignatieff, The Los Angeles Times

"Utterly absorbing.... If you did not have the opportunity to witness the Soviet empire in its death throes, Lenin's Tomb will take you there." —Jack F. Matlock, Jr.

It’s written with a clear Western perspective, which may color its interpretation of the events, yet the detailed stories and personal interviews makes it a credible and valuable resource for historical research.
While the content was slow-paced and far from interesting for someone with little knowledge of the names and personalities like me, the last chapters and conclusions I made was very interesting.
You could learn the logics and vision of the communist party, and the ideals they had fought for... and the very fact that you cannot change the mind and fabrics of a vast nation with such a long history into so called western democracy system just within few years or even a decade...
And the mere fact that while the system of governance fully collapsed and changed drastically, the corrupt intelligence services agency remained fully intact before and after the fall...with the same people and same structure.
Lesson learned: Make sure to fully dissolve any repressive intelligence services as a prerequisite to create a safe ground for reliable democracy to shape.
Well assembled work with extra-ordinary sources
