- This book is the first archive-based study of the practical functioning and internal culture of the Soviet government cabinet in its first five years. The book delivers analysis and synthesis of a massive amount of archival material, drawing upon thousands of pages of minutes of meetings from 1917-1922 through both quantitative data collection and analysis and qualitative close reading of inter-departmental papers. The book reinterprets the emergence of the authoritarian monolithic party-state and offers novel insights on the Soviet government’s coalition phase and on the process by which governmental decision-making authority migrated from ‘state’ to supreme Communist Party bodies.
