Summary

"Here, above all, is the new, post-Stalin Russia in which monolithic rigidity has been replaced by something mcuh more fluid, experimental, dynamic and, perhaps, more dangerous. Special emphasis is laid on the importance of the Sputnik and other Soviet advances in science, which, with developments in education, are documented and described with wealth of detail available in no other book." - publisher
