The smartest guys in the room: The amazing rize and scandalous fall of the Soviet Union
|
| Nicolai Bukharin was the leading reformer of the early Soviet leadership. Despite being a committed communist he argued for a mixed economy and encouraged people to "get rich" from their own enterprise under socialism. This "Gorbachev of the 20s" was expected by many to be Lenin's natural heir and, according to Lenin, the "favourite of the revolution". Nonetheless he lost out to Stalin and was shot as an "terrorist". Anna Larina, Bukharin's young wife, survived imprisonment to write this book which tells the story of his fall from power, her husband's arrest and her own imprisonment. Read alongside Getty's excellent, The Road to Terror, which includes translations of the transcripts from the closed central committee "plenums" to which Anna refers throughout the book, the book provides unique insight into the boardroom power struggle inside history's biggest ever corporation, the Soviet Union. |
