Modern Russia tries to show how the Communist revolution of 1917 arose out of conditions in the old Tsarist Russia, the theories of Karl Marx and, above all, the drive and determination of Lenin. It goes on to trace the development of a powerful industrial nation under Joseph Stalin and the new problems which the Soviet Union faced during the rule of Khrushchev.
The lives of these three men span all the important events in the last century of Russia's history. Each of them, too, played a vital part when the Soviet Union was involved in world affairs: during two world wars, the Cold War and the great conflict between Russia and China. To know of these is essential for anyone who wishes to understand the modern world.
