  • REVIVAL: SOVIET WORK ATTITUDES (1979)
    MURRAY YANOWITCH

  • REVIVAL: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC INEQUALITY IN THE SOVIET UNION (1977)
    MURRAY YANOWITCH

  • A VOICE OF REFORM
    TATIANA I. ZASLAVSKAIA / MURRAY YANOWITCH / A. SCHULTZ
    First Published in 1989. It has become common, both in Soviet and in Western writings about the USSR, to characterize the early 1980s (the immediate pre-Gorbachev period) as years of stagnation or, at the very least, near stagnation in the Soviet system. Since the sudden outburst of reformist thinking since 1985 it is clear there is actually an elaboration and reinforcement of ...

  • CONTROVERSIES IN SOVIET SOCIAL THOUGHT
    MURRAY YANOWITCH
    Over the past several years observers have become aware of what might be called the "expansionary logic" of the reform debate in the Soviet Union. Punctuated by periods of reaction and retreat, successive phases of reform momentum have brought to the fore ideas and proposals that only months before had been considered too radically unorthodox for prudent discussion. In this acc...
