Description

This comprehensive historical analysis by Dr. Laird examines the Soviet Politburo from 1917 onwards using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The work presents a unique dataset covering every Politburo member across nearly a century of Soviet leadership. A central innovation is the author's "change index," which quantifies politically motivated shifts in Politburo membership over time. The book reveals significant subperiods within major leadership eras that marked important policy transitions. By combining the change index with other empirical measures, Laird demonstrates how Politburo composition directly influenced the success or failure of specific policy initiatives, offering readers a data-driven perspective on Soviet political history and the structural factors shaping leadership decisions under Gorbachev and his predecessors.
