Describes and analyzes the Soviet Union's social problems, focusing on those it shares with Western industrial societies. While the contributors emphasize the current period, they also provide a historical perspective on the development of long-standing problems and on the evolution of official attitudes toward them. Essays examine a broad range of problems including drug and alcohol abuse; nuclear and environmental calamities; poverty; prostitution; health, education, and family issues; crime and juvenile delinquency; and the difficulty of adapting to technological change.
