  • Harrison, Mark. 2023. Secret Leviathan: Secrecy and State Capacity under Soviet Communism. Stanford-Hoover Series on Authoritarianism. Stanford University Press (328 pp.)

About Secret Leviathan (video, three minutes)

Reviewed by Anders Åslund on EH.net and by Vladimir Gel'man on Gorky.media

"How does a state organize itself when it lacks the support of its people? What are its strengths? Its weaknesses? These are fundamental questions in the world we face today and there is no better place to understand the answers to them than in Mark Harrison's profound analysis of the Soviet Union." —James Robinson, University of Chicago

"It is difficult not to wonder today how Vladimir Putin has taken complete control of Russian institutions and convinced the Russian people and elites to go along with his kleptocratic regime and adventurism. This wonderful book provides an original and insightful answer: the Soviet Union created a highly distorted type of state, the Secret Leviathan, whose suppression of facts has not only had huge economic costs, but has destroyed political foundations of accountability and empowered the security services.These dynamics have paved the way to the current Russian quagmire. A must-read for anybody who wants to understand Soviet history and the current Russian regime." —Daron Acemoglu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

The series completed by this volume provides an original, authoritative account of the Soviet economy's industrial transformation between 1929 and 1939. The first volume of the series was published by R. W. Davies in 1980. The most recent volume (before this one) covered the “good years” (in economic terms) of 1934 to 1936. The present volume has a darker tone: beginning from the Great Terror, it ends with the Hitler-Stalin pact and the outbreak of World War II in Europe. A preprint of Chapter 10 is available as The Soviet Economy: the Late 1930s in Historical Perspective. CAGE Working Paper no. 363. University of Warwick. This version 1 March 2018.
