Abstract

Karl Schlögel, a German historian who has written extensively on the history of the Soviet Union, is the opposite, and his wonderful noticing of things and how they sit in space is on full display in the 900-plus pages of his newly translated book The Soviet Century. But that conflict does cast its shadow, since, as Schlögel tells us, he was inspired "to take one more look at the [Soviet] empire that had disappeared" by the outrage at Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea. Review A few months ago, a Sovietologist (as we used to be called) who was an exchange student in Moscow with me in the late 1960s wrote and asked if I happened to have kept a sobachka as a memento of our Moscow days.
