   Well there are no productive ideas in, "Socialism Betrayed: Behind
The Collapse of the Soviet Union, " by  Roger Keeran and Thomas Kenny,
International Publishers, 2004.

   The Soviet demise: revisionist betrayal, structural defect, or
authoritarian distortion?(Communications)(Socialism Betrayed: Behind
the Collapse of the Soviet Union)(Book Review). David Laibman.
