Böcker av Paul R. Gregory

Offering an approach that synthesizes history and economics, this book develops explanations for the way terror was applied, how terror agents were recruited, how they carried out their jobs, and how they were motivated. It draws on archives of the Gulag administration, the Politburo, and state security agencies themselves.

This book presents estimates of the growth of the tsarist economy during the 'industrialization era', 1885-1913. Comparisons are made with the performance of Soviet Russia during the plan era and of other industrialized countries during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
