Russia is one of thirty-four volumes from the Life World Library. Originally published in the 1960s, this series is an introduction to the many nations of the world. This book portrays Russia (more correctly known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) as it was in the late 1950s. Topics covered include Russian geography, history, the rise of communism, Communist Party organization, the state-run economy, the challenge of growing enough food, classes in a (supposed) classless society, education, art, literature, recreation, and diplomacy. Russian leader Josef Stalin figures prominently in the narrative. The appendix includes information on significant historical dates, republics of the U.S.S.R., famous Russian cultural figures and their principal works, and a bibliography for further reading. As with other books in this series, numerous photographs enhance the narrative. Despite its age, readers will find this book to be a concise and informative volume on one of the most important nations in our world. Moreover, readers will gain a greater understanding of the Russian people and their history.
