From Library Journal:

Chronicling the new openness (or glastnost' as the Soviets term it) in the Soviet press, Nove (Univ. of Glasgow) summarizes dozens of newspaper and journal articles published since 1986 which deal frankly with such formerly taboo subjects as the horrors of collectivization, the Stalinist terror of the 1930s and 1940s, and the seamy side of Soviet life today. Nonspecialists are likely to be overwhelmed by the quantity of information presented here, which is deliberately given little interpretation. Specialists who follow the Soviet press will find this a useful source of ably translated quotations as well as an up-to-date supplemental text for university courses on Soviet politics.
