What happened when the terrifying Soviet dictator, Joseph Stalin, suddenly died?

Everyone remembers the bumbling characters around Stalin's deathbed in Armando Iannucci's film Death of Stalin, but who knows what actually came next?

In this vivid, deeply knowledgeable short book, award-winning historian Sheila Fitzpatrick offers a new look at a crucial moment in history.
