Hello everynyan, we're reading This Soviet World.

Week 3 we are reading Chapter 3: "The Dictatorship."

EPUB, a link to a PDF, and online reading options, can be found on Comrade's Library. If you find problems with the EPUB tell me and I will fix it. Dessalines has made an audio book.

For some reason I thought that’s what we were doing LOL

We were just doing the introduction together with chapter 1 since it was so short. But I have been thinking about doing 2 chapters a week. For me they are so quick and easy to read that 2 chapters makes sense. But I would want to hear what others think before I make the change.

Also, reading your comment, I think about Soviet Democracy. Some of the things that you and Strong state would be strengthened by it. If people want, I was thinking of reading it after this one. I will ask about that at the end of this book.

Down for both 2 per week, and Soviet Democracy next! Would also be interesting to compare it to Socialism in Power, written after the fall of the USSR, but that's not on Comlib so it's out of scope.

Soviet Democracy

This does sound like a very informative read.
