The Eurasian Knot - Sly Uncivility

Forget about "civil society" destroying Communism in Eastern Europe, says Stephen Kotkin in this interview about his new book, Uncivil Society: 1989 and the Implosion of the Communist Establishment on New Books in History. It's a myth. The Communist establishments in Eastern Europe were quite politically stable and were hardly challenged by widespread opposition (except in Poland).

Lively and pointed, this interview will change your views on the collapse of Communism in the East.
