Histoire de l'Union Soviétique de Lénine à Staline

by Nicolas Werth

Le coup d'État bolchevique d'octobre 1917 passe à peu près inaperçu dans les chancelleries européennes : il apparaît comme un épisode, parmi bien d'autres, dans le complexe cheminement d'une révolution qui, depuis près d'un an déjà, secoue l'Empire russe. À la mort de Staline, en 1953, l'URSS est devenue la seconde puissance mondiale, et le modèle stalinien prétend conquérir le monde.
