SECRET POLICY: FROM BREZHNEV TO GORBACHEV: At 2 Parts. Part I. Power - The Jewish Question - Intellectuals

   The Secret Politics: From Brezhnev to Gorbachev is the end of the trilogy on the political history of Soviet Jewry, the first book of which is Stalin’s Secret Politics. Power and anti-Semitism "appeared in 2001 (its much revised and enlarged edition was published in 2015), and the second -" The secret policy of Khrushchev "- in 2012

As before, without anger and partiality, the author plunges into the national past, this time - not so distant, but still as obscured by mythology and therefore difficult to understand, like, say, the Stalin period. Applying a proven methodology that involves studying the Jewish problem through the prism of the general social and political processes in the USSR, he now gave priority attention to the following specific topics: Jewish emigration from the USSR in the light of its relations with the West; Zionist movement; creative intelligentsia and state anti-Semitism, its manifestations in various spheres of life; Jewish ethnocultural identity; approaches of L. Brezhnev, Y. Andropov, other Soviet leaders to the solution of the Jewish question; anti-Zionist propaganda; Russian party; legalization of Jewish public activity under Gorbachev; the resurgence of anti-Semitism shortly before the collapse of the USSR; the phenomenon of the Society "Memory"; the mythologization of the consciousness of Soviet Jewry.

The book is intended both for historians and for those interested in the recent past of our country.

The book was published with the financial support of  Alexander Valerievich Bondarenko
