Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. The Russian Version of the Second World War, edited by Graham Lyons, is a 1976 compilation that presents the Soviet Union's official narrative of World War II as taught to Soviet schoolchildren. Drawing from textbooks published between 1956 and 1973, the book offers insig…hts into how the USSR portrayed the war, emphasizing themes like the heroism of the Soviet people, the unity of the anti-fascist coalition, and the portrayal of the Western Allies' actions. The narrative begins with the international relations leading up to the war, depicting the USSR as a proponent of peace and collective security. It covers significant events such as the Soviet-Finnish War, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, major battles like Stalingrad, and the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany. The book also touches upon the post-war outcomes, highlighting the USSR's role in shaping the new world order. A notable feature of the compilation is its treatment of controversial topics. For instance, the signing of the Nazi-Soviet Pact is presented as a strategic move by the USSR to buy time and avoid a two-front war, rather than as an alliance with Nazi Germany. Similarly, the Soviet refusal to assist the Polish resistance during the Warsaw Uprising is framed within the context of broader strategic considerations. The book serves as a valuable resource for understanding the Soviet perspective on World War II, offering a contrast to Western accounts and shedding light on the ideological underpinnings of Soviet historical education.
