Description

Book Synopsis
This double special issue investigates the experiences of Soviet Afghan veterans and the ongoing impact of the Soviet-Afghan war (1979-89); and the new and reconstituted narratives of martyrdom that have been emerging in connection with 20th-century history and memory in the post-socialist world. The JOURNAL OF SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET POLITICS AND SOCIETY (JSPPS) is a new bi-annual companion journal to the Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society (SPPS) book series (founded 2004 and edited by Andreas Umland, Dr. phil., PhD). Guest editors: Felix Ackermann (European Humanities University); Michael Galbas (Konstanz University); Uilleam Blacker (UCL)

Trade Review
A splendid analysis of the changing narrative of 'Putinism' and of the nature of the political thought that lies at the heart of the Putin system ... should be required reading and a starting point for Western foreign policy-makers with an interest in the former Soviet space ... quite simply the best thing I've read on what is driving Russian foreign and domestic policy today. -- David White, University of Birmingham, on previous volume
