Reviews for Essays in Russian Social and Economic History
“For Steven Hoch, there is no such thing as conventional wisdom. With precise data, reasoned argument, and inimitable verve, he destroys long-lasting myths about Russia and its history. To understand how Russian peasants lived in the past and why their conditions changed over time, read this book!”
