Bücher von Graeme (University of Sydney) Gill

This book analyses the way in which symbolism and ritual changed through Soviet history. By focusing on the symbolism in party policy, artwork and political posters, and urban redevelopment and political ritual, it lays bare the dynamics of the Soviet regime and a major reason for its fall.

Graeme Gill traces the disintegration of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985 until the dissolution of the USSR in December 1991. This is an in-depth analysis of the institutional dynamics of a party under pressure, first published in 1994.
