About this title

Synopsis

Provides biographical information on selected members of the Presidential Council, the Communist Party Politburo and its Central Committee Secretariat, the Supreme Soviet, and other prominent officials and diplomats

Reviews

Painstakingly assembled by an analyst at Radio Liberty, this terse guide provides data on the studies, jobs, and travels of the Soviet political elite. At least a quarter of the entries are absent from Archie Brown's recent The Soviet Union: A Biographical Dictionary ( LJ 8/91), yet the present volume, current as of mid-1990, confines itself even more to bare facts, confirmed when possible via questionnaires sent to the politicians themselves. Comments on the political views of each entry are so cautious and unspeculative, they could have been edited at Radio Moscow. Most entries come with photos. An important work, but one essential only to senior specialists, fact checkers, and large research libraries.
