Based on in-depth oral-history interviews with defectors and emigres, Ra'anon and Lukes (both Boston U.) attempt to draw out the Cold War for a few more years. Their thesis, essentially is that the visible changes in the Soviet Union are misleading since the state continues to be controlled by a large bureaucratic apparat under the command of a small number of men working in the Kremlin.
