In Stalin's Shadow - Oleg V. Khlevniuk
The Career of "Sergo" Ordzhonikidze (The New Russian History)
KORTE INHOUD
In the voluminous secret history of the 1930s, one entry that still puzzles researchers is the death in 1937 of one of Stalin's key allies--G.K. Ordzhonikidze of Georgia. Whether he took his own life or, like Kirov, was murdered, the case of Ordzhonikidze intersects several problems in Soviet political history. Did Politburo members play a role in Stalin's decision making? Were there conflicts between Stalin and his comrades and, if so, how far did they go? What is the significance of the shared Caucasian roots of Stalin and so many of the supporters of his ascendancy? These and other questions are addressed by one of Russia's best young historians whose pioneering work in previously closed party and government archives is refining our understanding of the political history of the Stalin era.
