The last empire

Book • 2014
In 'The Last Empire', Serhii Plokhy provides a detailed analysis of the Soviet Union's dissolution, challenging the narrative of its collapse as an American victory in the Cold War. Instead, he highlights the internal dynamics, particularly in Ukraine and Russia, that led to the Soviet Union's demise.

The book draws on declassified documents and interviews to offer a nuanced understanding of this pivotal moment in history.
