Random House Books for Young Readers `Our Glorious Past` – Lukashenka`s Belarus and the Great Patriotic War: 124 (Soviet and Post-Soviet Politics and Society)

""The author has written a clear but scholarly account of the main political developments of the 'long twentieth century,' from 1894 to 2008. It is especially good in treating Russia's nationalities issues and the period from Gorbachev's assumption of power in 1985 until the end of the Putin presidency in 2008.""-Walter G. Moss, ""The Russian Review"", on David R. Marples, ""Russia in the 20th Century: the Illusion of Stability"" (2011)
