From the publisher
From the rear cover
"George Kennan, the architect of US policy toward the Soviet Union, called
Isaiah Berlin "a patron saint among the commentators on the Russian scene." In The Soviet Mind, Berlin proves himself worthy of that accolade. Although the essays in this book were originally written to explore tensions between Soviet Communism and Russian culture, the thinking about the Russian mind that emerges is as relevant today under Putin in post-Communist Russia as it was when this book first appeared more than a decade ago. Berlin's editor, Henry Hardy, prepared the essays for original publication as a compilation in 2004, explaining their original contexts in detail. For this new Brookings Classic edition he has added a previously unpublished talk--"Marxist versus Non-Marxist Ideas in Soviet Policy"--and a summary of a speech on Communism, once again providing historical background. The essays in The Soviet Mind show Berlin at his most brilliant and are invaluable for policymakers, students and anyone interested in Russian politics and thought--past, present and future."
