Abstract

Robert Hornsby's book, "The Soviet Sixties," provides a comprehensive overview of the transitional period in Soviet history from the death of Stalin in 1953 to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. Hornsby draws on a wide range of scholarship to offer a descriptive picture of various aspects of the period, including politics, culture, social trends, and international affairs. He argues that the Sixties was a time of both expansive thinking and repression, with the end of the period marked by a return to repression. The book invites readers to interpret the meaning and significance of this historical moment. [Extracted from the article]
