So you've read Marx and Engles and agree with them?
No actually. The Soviet Union was a union of national republics, hence the name.
I want to "throw" Soviet Democracy at you, but I haven't finished my epub of it yet... I should get on it.
Oh, I have This Soviet World. Doesn't go into as much detail, but does go over it.
