History

How Russia Is Ruled is a seminal political science book written by American Sovietologist Merle Fainsod, first published in 1953 by Harvard University Press. For decades, it stood as the definitive, foundational textbook on the political mechanics and public administration of the Soviet Union. Fainsod, a leading scholar at Harvard's Russian Research Center, later released an updated, revised edition in 1963 to account for the major geopolitical shifts and de-Stalinization efforts following Joseph Stalin's death
