He identifies ways of speaking about oneself as a central arena of the Soviet revolution's drive for discovering, changing, and perfecting the self. The study is based on sources-many of which are no longer as freely accessible as they were during the heyday of the Soviet \"archival bonanza\" - in provincial party archives in Leningrad, Smolensk, and Tomsk. Its principal merit is Halfin's masterful handling and interpretation of those sources. The study also serves as a popular \"short course\" on Halfin's seminal contributions to the historiographies of Russia, communism, and modern subjectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735559012640,"sku":"NEW0295991127","price":34.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91CZcnYP81L.jpg?v=1779488111","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/red-autobiographies-initiating-the-bolshevik-self-donald-w-treadgold-studies-on-russia-east-europe-and-central-asia-0295991127","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
