What is the book “The Soviet Age” about? (It’s a provocative title; in the West, Levin got a lot of credit for it.) This is a book about the Soviet school of politics. About the Soviet type of rule, which arose spontaneously (by taking leadership responsibility for a dying country) - and managed to gain a foothold in history, but at a high price. This is a workshop on Soviet politics in its real - historical - context. Lenin, Kosygin or Andropov are relevant for the historian as active politicians - sometimes successful, sometimes not - which makes the analysis of their compositions relevant for contemporary political studies. Moshe Levin begins the process of rehabilitation of the Soviet phenomenon - not as a goal, but as a cultural skill. Among other things, a political library of great decisions and precedents for the future.

"The Soviet Century" - is a provocative title (Levin smarted for it on the West). What is it about? This book is about soviet political school. It is about the soviet way of staying in power that spontaneously came into existence (with the leader taking the responsibility for the perishing country in perish) and firmly clinging to his place in history but with dear price.This is hands-on training course of Soviet politics in its authentic historical context. Lenin, Kosygin and Andropov are relevant to historian as acting politicians -sometimes lucky and sometimes not - something which makes the analysis of their practice a useful political case study for our contemporaries.Moshe Levin initiates a process of rehabilitation of the soviet phenomenon. However he is not aiming at it per se but does it for the sake of acquiring a certain cultural skill, as well as creating a political library of great decisions and precedents for the future.
