Origins of the Great Purges: The Soviet Communist Party Reconsidered, 1933–1938 - Cambridge Russian, Soviet and Post-Soviet Studies
John Archibald Getty
This is a study of the structure of the Soviet Communist Party, from the events in the Bolshevik Party leading up to the Great Purges of 1937–1938. Professor Getty assesses the party bureaucracy and claims that the Great Purges occurred as the bloody but ad hoc result of Moscow's incremental attempts to centralise political power.
